Chicken Burrito -- Bueno y Sano, Northampton, MA
Bueno y Sano
To
say we've been off our Best Thing I Ever Ate game recently would be the
understatement of the overeating century. We've become so lackadaisical
about what was once an obsessive quest that the restaurants themselves
have begun sneaking up on us, whether or not we want them to.

| Where Did You Come From? |
This
is how, while killing time on a road trip to Montreal, stumble upon the
Northampton, MA, outpost of Bueno y Sano, which had (very
appropriately) been featured on the
ROAD TRIP episode of the program.
 |
| Hello, Northampton. We're Only Here to Drink |
Dutifully,
if a bit apathetically, we place our order for the chicken burrito,
after some tipsy (naturally, we had already hit up a local bar) Googling
to discern exactly what
Marc Forgionne had recommended.

When we tear
into the creation in the backseat of Ginger's sister's car, we find the
most basic burrito possible -- one that, to tell the truth, does not
look superior to Chipotle's wrapped delicacies.

| We'll Be the Judge of That |
Biting in does not
improve the situation, as much like our earlier cocktails, the burritos
have virtually no taste whatsoever.

| Difficult to Locate Any Chicken |
While we polish
off the burrito, because we have nothing if not a strong sense of
follow-through, we find the entire enterprise mediocre at best.

| We Believe in Finishing What We Start [Eating] |
Indeed,
when the bevy of snacks acquired at the back-road Vermont Circle K
tickle our tastebuds more than the entree at hand, one has to wonder if
Marc Forgionne is pulling into the correct pit-stops.
