MEXICATON: The best burrito I've ever had was in San Fran, not Los Angeles.

[The Fake Shemp]

I lived in Los Angeles for two years and not just any part of Los Angeles - I'm talking 'bout the eight one eight.  That place is like the epicenter of illegal immigration.  Down from my office, the entire street was completely in Spanish.  I used to eat a few of the Mexican joints and the food was good.

Today, I went out to lunch with CrystalGemini in downtown San Francisco and I had a burrito that was godly.  It was like it descended from the heavens; every morsel was delicious and not a single part of it was overcooked, undercooked or bland.  For just $6, you get what they refer to as a Super Burrito, which is roughly the size of my forearm.  I won't be able to eat anything for the rest of the day.

I hope she sees this and posts the name of this place, because it's so good I'm thinking about making the commute there once every couple of weeks to buy a bunch and freeze them.

I am pretty positive it wasn't better than a casa del pueblo burrito

[Human Snorenado]

San Fran is pretty well known for having the best burritos in America.  Not lying, either.

[Himu]

Cali has great Mexican food, but I love Texas Mexican food just as much if not more so.

Willco!  SHAME!  I'm telling Henry! First you move away, now this?!?!? (I reviewed their Taco Burger last year!)

In all seriousness, did you ever try La Estrella in Highland park?

I am pretty positive it was.

I wasn't aware that San Francisco was supposed to have anything decent that's from south of the border.  It's kind of perplexing that I find such delicious food up here and not in Los Angeles.

And Melissa, I've been to La Estrella, but not Henry's Tacos.  It was good, like several other places, but this was... amazing.

  Henry's is right on Moorpark and Tujunga - you practically lived in their backyard.  You haven't eaten in L.A. till you've had a taco burger.  Come home, you're grounded!

I'll be back in September, I'll go hit it up then.

And Drinky - please come!  The bay area is awesome and the East Bay is unbelievably gorgeous.  Then you can go inside the city and get cultured!

Bah, I can drink him under the table, Triumph!  Bring what you got too, boy.

[Melissa]

Not to derail, but are you visiting or moving back?

[Van Cruncheon]

i'll drink his hebe ass under the table. us swedes were born to die of renal failure!

Whatever, dude.  I've literally drank people into the hospital before.  Although if I lost weight I might not have as much resistance.  Oh the quandry!

[The Fake Shemp]

Not to derail, but are you visiting or moving back?

No, just visiting.  CrystalGemini and I are visiting a friend who just had a baby.

And please, gentlemen, Chris can now accept that he can no longer outdrink me.  And he served in the armed forces and he's Irish.  He's bred to drink.  My other roommate, another Irish heavy drinker, also declared me victor.  I will drink Doug into a coma, but I'm pretty sure I could go toe-to-toe with Triumph.

[Van Cruncheon]

i've drank loggers under the table in dive taverns in centralia, wa. i made my irish-catholic college roommate pass out during one of our legendary drink-offs. i've got alcoholism in my fuckin' genes. you will fail!

Yeah dude, I don't know about that.  I'm Scotch-Irish on my mom's side, German on my dad's side.  My dna has malt and hops in it.

I'm sorry, you're a responsible parent and you've got an office career.  I drink every day and that's something you are unable to do.  And I'm not talking beer.  Beer is like water to me, Doug.  WATER.  Every day and I mean pretty much every day, I'm drinking rum, vodka, whiskey or tequila.  Sometimes all four.  And lots of it.

I think I can hang with Triumph, but with apologies, your old man responsibilities weaken your tolerance on account that you can't drink every day.

I'll pay for your flight down here and your meal if you come here, eat it and tell me it's not the best burrito you've ever had.

San DIego am mo bettah

closer to the border

[Van Cruncheon]

i pound down a fifth of gentleman jack without flinching. ask maf and strifebringer: my powers may have waned in my retirement, but i can still knock back the hard stuff with the best of 'em. you're the minor leaguer in the big booze game, my friend; my rookie card hangs out of your back pocket.

That's it?  A fifth?  Oh my god, call me in a couple of YEARS, old man.

[Van Cruncheon]

who said i stop there? i said the whole bottle, no flinching.

[The Fake Shemp]

Bottles are nothing spectacular.  Chris and I routinely pound away bottles of liquor and wine in a night.  I've got the edge from practice on you.  Not to mention the weight.  I'd challenge you, but I do not want your wife and child to be without a father!

[MrAngryFace]

Mexican Food in Arizona > California. Too bad California as a state > Arizona

[Flannel Boy]

I can kill brain cells with the best of em'.

[MrAngryFace]

I can drink a decent amount but then I go to sleep

[Saint Cornelius]

just stop dude. just stop.

[The Fake Shemp]

God, I want one of those burritos.  I even tipped them and I never tip for restaurant service unless I'm waited on.

[Van Cruncheon]

i mean: can you chug a whole fifth in one go without collapsing in a kosher seizure? i can!

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah, probably pretty easily.  Give me a chaser and I can drink just about anything in one gulp.

[MrAngryFace]

My Reply > Saint C's Reply

[Flannel Boy]

You need a chaser. Maybe you should stop braggin' :p

[Van Cruncheon]

there's gotta be a showdown, willco.

[The Fake Shemp]

I don't need a chaser, but if you're going to have me drink anything, I'll need one.  I'm sorry, I can't drink moonshine without a chaser.  If we're talking about Bushmills, Patron, Bacardi, etc.  That's fine.  But I won't drink overproof or moonshine without a chaser.

[Van Cruncheon]

do you need an umbrella in your drink too, federmince?

[The Fake Shemp]

You'll drink moonshine or over proof without one (chaser, not umbrella!)?  I doubt it.

[Van Cruncheon]

dude, i've nearly killed myself on corn whiskey. i've NEVER needed a chaser. you know why i don't? i have this thing called testosterone.

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah, maybe two shotglasses of corn whiskey

You don't have the frame to give that story much credibility.  As if you drank a barrel or something!

[bluemax]

CHANO'S FOR LIFE.

[brawndolicious]

yeah, there's good mexican food here.  And chinese.  And pizza.  And Indian.  And Iranian (I know for a fact this is much better than L.A.).  And Pakistani.
