I was really hungry. So, instead of splitting the burrito with my wife, which is the usual, I convinced her we should each get our own. She ate 3/4 of hers. I ate the last 1/4 of hers. 1.25 burritos is apparently enough to keep me up all night. Especially when combined with 2 471 IPAs from breckenridge brewery.

I had a delicious set of chips and roasted tomato salsa (photo)

This was my first visit to the Silverthorne location, though I had read about it via the e-mails and newspaper coverage online. It was pretty typical, though the folks working there had a clear “I’m a mountain town person” feeling to them compared to the employees in other locations. I’ve heard that they are not as fast or good at making the food as other locations which makes a fair amount of sense given that mountain towns tend to have higher turnover in all industries.

A delicious burrito as I got home from doing it with Drupal.

The mild salsa looked a bit different. I asked and it’s a new recipe they are trying out before they open the restaurants in the United Kingdom. Apparently they think that Londoners will prefer to have their salsa a bit different. The thing I noticed was a smother consistency - indeed this salsa has been blended a bit. They also said that they are roasting some of the veggies in the salsa which will add an even smokier flavor (and some great marketing material, of course).

I’m interested to see if they’ll keep this at any other stores across America. I think this makes the mild salsa much more suitable for dipping the chips in it. I plan on heading back and getting chips with a side of mild so I can test it as simply and purely as possible.

The old pregnant wife and I got take out last night.
