Speaking of chipotle and pronunciation, how is Niman Ranch pronounced. I have been pronouncing it in my head Nee-man

"Nee-Man" is exactly how I pronounce it as well. If it's something else, I'd like to hear otherwise so I don't sound like an arse since I'm championing it all the time to friends.

I'm pretty sure Niman has a long I.

Speaking of chipotle and pronunciation, how is Niman Ranch pronounced. I have been pronouncing it in my head Nee-man but I heard a story on local news pronouncing it with a long i. As I don't trust ether source, what is it?

I called them since I had always done nee-man as well but got corrected. And the answer is:

Nie-man (long i)...

But I don't think that makes them less authentic anymore than a Mexican restaurant in Mexico City serving Coca-Cola in addition to tamarindo...

Dude, Mexican Coke (in the glass bottle, natch) is awesome stuff, way better than the American product. I'll often order it when I'm at a tacqueria...

I second that, man its so good in those tall glass bottles!..nothing better on a hot day along with some good "cart taco's"!

Except for a tamarindo or guyaba Jarritos in a glass bottle. Yum. Kills the burn of a firery salsa so you're ready for another loaded up bite.

Glass bottles rule. Man I miss Mt. Dew in the bottle.

Inspired by all this nonsense, I went out and had me a potle (throwing in some of the hip slang from the start of the thread) this afternoon. I had the barbacoa with hot salsa. Damn, it was pretty good. I definitely eat there again. I didn't expect a burrito the size of a football, but I ate the whole thing.

Chad

you and me both, brother.

i'm still uncomfortably full and it's been a couple hours.

Post Potle Bloat

[tryska]

is this a known side-affect?

granted i was pretty hungry when i finally got a chance to eat, but i've NEVER eaten a whole burrito before. but it just kept tasting....really good.

and then by the time i started feeling full it was more than half gone, and well that's not a good stopping point.

Thanks for making the call, ExtraMSG.

Post Potle Bloat

Yeah, but our good friends at ChipotleLovers would probably call it Potle Blotle

You learn something new every day. I'll start pronouncing it correctly.

Thanks,

I actually really like the vegetarian fajita burritos even though I'm not a vegetarian.

How the heck do you make a vegetarian fajita? If you tell me that they use some kind of funky soy product, I just might hurl. That would be a terrible thing to do to an innocent burrito.

It's the veggies from the fajita, if I remember correctly. Onions, Peppers along with the corn salsa, guac, pico, etc.

[fifi]

If fajitas are done "right" the onion and pepper are grilled (or maybe griddled in restaurants) along with the fajitas so they couldn't be strictly vegetarian. But then, maybe they don't do them "right".

[therdogg]

The veg burrito has black beans, the cilantro-lime rice, peppers, onions, guacamole (which the meat burritos don't come with) and cheese/sour cream (uh... I actually like BOTH) and salsa. I like it. No soy products, the "fajita" part as Chipotle uses it just refers to the grilled green bell pepper/ red onion mix.
