...but it's so damn good!
My hubby and I walk in for lunch and decide to split a Burrito Bowl (less messy option by far). My absolute favorite combination is:
Rice
Pinto Beans
Carnitas (fabulous braised pork)
Sauteed Peppers and Onions
Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa
Tomatillo Green Chili Salsa
Cheese
Add an order of Chips and split an Iced Tea. Total: $9.60. Satisfying and extremely yummy to boot.
Chipotle. Being a chain is not always bad.

A Vote For Tastebuds American Bistro
Yesterday was quite a day in more ways than one. Some of my descriptors include:
Exhausted – I am an election officer and spent about 19 hours manning the polls.
Excited – To see 80% of my precinct cast their votes. Hats off to the residents of Northside!
Inspired – As I welcomed and cheered many first-time voters who were enthusiastic and proud to exercise their democratic rights.
Grateful – Tastebuds American Bistro said yes to serving one more couple late in the evening.
Satisfied – To imbibe a delicious 2004 St. Francis Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County for $30.
Overwhelmed – By a $13 entrée: Cassoulet...Duck Confit & House Made Pork Sausage Baked with Bread Crumb Topping served with Warm White Bean Salad. At last duck confit! And non-crunchy beans! What a FANTASTIC dish!
Surprised – To learn that Obama carried Virginia. (and very pleased!)
Hopeful – As our nation chooses to enter a new era.

Mea Culpa and A Nod to IWICC
We went to Six Burner for Restaurant Week. We had good food, but the menu that Six Burner posted and that Richmond.com published was apparently a "sample menu." No duck confit to be found. In fact, no meat to be seen in any of the first course dishes. My advice - DO NOT PUBLISH A SAMPLE MENU! Fairly simple. And Six Burner had no idea that Richmond.com had posted it.
I apologize for spreading the false expectation that Six Burner would be offering duck confit on the menu.
And I want to give praises to I Wish I Could Cook. The post on Richmond Restaurant Week was indeed insightful. The large group of women attended that night.
I made a pact with my husband - we either donate directly to the Central Virginia Foodbank or we choose a restaurant that we have never been to and we never, ever look at the supposed menus ahead of time.
