So I apologize that all of my posts to Guac & Roll thus far have been about music. I had wanted to write more about burritos, however, there has been a dearth of burritos in my life recently. There was, however, hope upon the horizon.
I recently received a phone call from my sister to say that the very town that I grew up in had just opened up a Moe’s burritos. I was ecstatic! The gods had shone down upon our tiny Northeastern town. For those of you unaware of the glory of Moe’s, let me educate. When I lived in Atlanta, there were 3 major chain burrito joints: Chipotle, Willy’s and Moe’s (R.I.P. Tortillas…). Of the three, only Chipotle has extended into the Northeast. I still miss Moe and Willy dearly, so you can imagine my excitement upon learning that Moe would be back in my life again. Oh how I had missed him…
I could almost hear that familiar greeting (“Welcome to Moe’s!”) in my head as I revved my engine and made my way to the new locale. What I found, however, was a sick, cruel joke of a restaurant called “Moe’s.” But this was no Moe as I had known him. This Moe made bagels and pizza, “fresh” on the premises. How could he? What kind of sadistic pervert would use Moe’s name to fashion his own personal gains in bagelry?
I think that a little piece of me died that day. I stumbled back to my car and drove up the road to Wendy’s whereupon I ordered the #6 combo, with a coke and no tomato.
I still miss Moe and wish him well. Maybe one day I’ll see him again. One day. One day soon….
I give you now the perfect Moe’s burrito order:
The Triple Lindy with Beef. Black Beans. Rice. Beef. Salsa. Cheese. Sour Cream. Guacamole. Black Olives. Rolled in a fresh tortilla and served with a side of corn chips. Might I also recommend the Billy Barou nachos or the Closetalker salad. Either is a fine alternative to the TL.
