Best of 2006 - Food

Y'all know I need to push away for the table every once in a while, but I don't. Just more of me to love, I guess. That's what my mom has always said.

Burrito

I loves me a burrito. It's my favorite food so I'll start here.

1. Los Lunchero Wagono Asada - This huge upset put the portable roach coach on the corner of Folsom and Jackson on top of the list. They showed me that a burrito can be wonderful without the cheese, sour cream and guacomole.

2. El Portal Super Chicken - Too far away now (North Highlands), but still merits special notice. I shouldn't get spiritual about a burrito but I feel the warmth down to my toes in the wonderful creation that Pedro makes for me.

3. Chevy's Fajita Chicken - The tasty chips and salsa foreplay puts this one up there.

4. #24 Breakfast Burrito at Aldaberto's - Maddeningly inconsistent from chain to chain. But when it's good it's good, when it's bad, it's real bad.

5. Chipotle Chicken with Guac - The guacamole at chipotle makes this extra special.

2. L'Michelle at Mr. Pickles - Just beware the old man at the counter.
3. The Perfect Veggie at Togo's with extra tomatoes - It was the one mystical time that employee care, veggies at their peak of ripeness were brought together at a time when I was starving
4. Hawaiian Chicken at Jack's Urban Eats - Yummy
5. Cheesesteak at Hoppy's - I'd like to actually have that with a beerfor a change.
