Lol, if you saw some of these places that they served food out of you wouldn't be saying tuxedo and monocle wearing arrogant asses. I guess american chinese food is just prepared differently down here in nola, because the few things I've tried from panda express were just void of flavor.
Easy now. The vast majority of taquerias are way better than Chipotle
How much did you have leftover though? Don't know if this is a local thing or just chinese thing in general, but most chinese places down here give you ridiculous entree serving sizes, you either split one or its two meals.
You probably think a single Chipotle burrito is also a filling meal.
I can't imagine you have shitty Chinese food in Chinatown in San Francisco if you still live there. The Chinese restaurants in Chicago's Chinatown are all pretty amazing compared to #1 Chop Suey shit you see in strip malls. Even when they get your order wrong because they barely speak english, that food is 1000 times better than anything I've ever had from a mom and pop store.
Chipotle burritos are usually around 1,000 calories, so the vast majority of humanity get filled up by one. McCheese is on a whole 'notha level.
I'd just like to point out that the number of calories in something has no (or very little) effect on how filling it is.
For half this week I've subsisted on nothing but lasagna and dill pickles. I had lasagna for my birthday at a restaurant on Sunday and got one to-go for dinner the next day. However, on the way home my friend's wife called me up and said she made me a 15x10 pan of lasagna for my birthday present, so I picked that up, cooked it, and ate that on Monday and Tuesday (the to-go lasagna from the restaurant didn't make it past Sunday night - that was my 2nd dinner at like 10pm). Yesterday morning I was feeling hungry but I didn't have time to cook the last big chunk of lasagna, so I ate it cold right out of the fridge. It was still fucking delicious.
Fair enough, but a packed Chipotle burrito is pretty filling. Could I eat two? Yeah. Would it be a good idea? No.
Like I said a few pages back... My favorite taco place is a truck right off the interstate that wrecks my stomach but it tastes so damn good I don't give a fuck and will continue to eat a burrito and a taco until either I die or they die (which wont happen since they've basically turned into a chain around Tampa).
