There's a place near here (in Columbia where I work) called "Frisco Burritos". I've never been and never will go because:
1.) "Frisco" is just wrong.
2.) I really can't get a burrito anywhere but in San Francisco. I know they make good ones elsewhere but SF, and really my particular favorite taqueria, has made my idea of how a burrito should be very specific.
What trips me out is that the potato was actually a South American food, the Spaniards brought them back to Europe, and then the Europeans who proceeded to settle North America introduced it there. I always thought that it had come up from South America on its own. Also, the reason why the Irish Potato Famine was so harsh was that by 1845, the poorer Irish tenant farmers were relying on one variety of the potato to feed their families (average amount eaten per person was three pounds a day) that was developed from only two potatoes brought back by the Spaniards, and was therefore so inbred as to be almost guaranteed susceptible to a fungus.
I must admit, all those bigger-than-your-head, rice, meat and bean burritos seem weird to me even now. Burritos were always tasty, unassuming staples. I don't think they made chicken ones. The basic varieties were bean, ground beef (usually with potatoes to glue it together) and of course, the breakfast burrito. No rice, no mixing of beans and meat. Just the basics. I've finally learned not to order a burrito if I'm expecting that anywhere but my hometown. And even some places there are succumbing to the bigger-than-your-head syndrome.
I've never understood the aversion to "Frisco". That's what the '49ers called it.

And look what it got them! um...no I have no basis for my dislike. It just bugs.
There's a place called Tortillas in Atlanta that has spoiled me for all other burritos. Though I'll admit to a lingering fondness for the little bean and cheese frozen ones that you get at the supermarket for like a quarter.

Those are only good if you smother them in sour cream.
Mmm... nummy....
shoes are probably good if you smother them in sour cream
Brenda, sadly Tortillas is gone.

Yeah, but shoes demand sharper utensils.
