Speaking of wrestling, nWo Souled Out 1997 opens with a weird sequence where everyone rides to the arena on garbage trucks and it feels like the opening to a snuff film.

I said it in the last Gen Chat thread and I'll say it in this one too: hate on Chipotle all you want, but their guacamole is up there with some of the best authentic Mexican restaurants I've been to, and as a lover of Mexican cuisine, I've been to several of those all across the country.

Oh it's very possible. Like, I know comparing anything to Taco Bell is laughable, but the guacamole in Taco Bell's Cantina menu items is loving atrocious. It probably comes out of a tube and it tastes like it does for sure. At Chipotle, it tastes fresh and like it's made with quality ingredients and you know it is because you can see them making it right behind the counter.

Cilantro, red onion, lime and salt does good guacamole make.

The cool thing about bellavista is you can some Mexican food that's being cooked by and for actual Mexican immigrants like a block away from a shopping center with 2 different Vietnamese places both cooking by and for actual Vietnamese immigrants, and then go to a Buddhist temple. And this is like 3 blocks North of all that Pat's and Geno's nonsense.

The only times I've eaten Qdoba all I've wished was that I was eating Chipotle. Or, ideally, something else all together.

Also: You were not kidding about Portland dating. This is going to be ... interesting.

Chipotle is good. Even compared to the chains here in Texas. Costa Vida is pretty great though. Fresh tortillas and stuff like raspberry chicken and good habanero salsa and more options. Qdobas is lame and Moes and Freebirds was crap.

I need to find a good Mexican place though.

People who do not have a Chipotle in their town lose their loving minds over Chipotle. I missed out on seeing Code Orange Kids like 3 years ago because everyone I was going to the show with freaked out when we drove past a Chipotle and they were all "gently caress an opening band."


I'm 10 minutes into Olympus Has Fallen and this is just garbage. Not even the fun kind of garbage.

I never had Chipotle until like...the end of 2012. We didn't have one here and I never ate at one out of town either. Then we got our first one here, and the first time I went, I wasn't impressed with it at all. Probably because they had just opened? Then I went back and gave it another chance a few weeks later and I was blown away. It became like crack to me. I had to have it at least once or twice a week for the next several weeks.

Here's a debate we already had in the last thread but I thought Olympus Has Fallen was way more fun and a much better Die Hard successor than White House Down was :v:
