Actually the blue collar guys eat weird crap with tomatoes, beans and rice... it is the Texas Proud Yuppies that are doing the Chili competitions.
But search for competition chili recipes.[DOUBLEPOST=1359154132][/DOUBLEPOST]
The people that created it were Spanish speakers in Mexico/New Spain.
Uhh.. what? According to Wikipedia it was created by "American frontier settlers" in the 1860's or later, not spanish speakers. "New Spain" stopped existing in 1810.
If they were spanish speakers they would use a SPANISH word, "Chile". Chili is not in Spanish.
And it is a name that has been in use in an English Speaking Country for 180 years. Spellings can wander.
Ask your sister.

Really, Chili is a fusion of Native American and Canary Islander food. White Settlers did not make spicy food. They deep fried EVERYTHING. It was with the Cattle Drives that whites started eating chili, because it was easy to transport a bunch of light spices. Then use the dying cattle to make Chili con Carne.

Well, I kinda trust Wikipedia a bit more than your streetdirectory site which insists that "chili peppers were contributed by Canary Islanders", which is ridiculous, Spain had to DE-spice their imported chiles and created the (barely)spicy peppers they use over there now. Spanish food is not spicy like Mexican is.
Hey I had a simple math question in here not too long ago that turned into proofs of why .999999∞ is, or is not, equal to 1.
And around 500 million to the south of you don't. Bitch. (that's 120 million mexicans plus 380 million south americans)[DOUBLEPOST=1359157517][/DOUBLEPOST]ITT: Calleja argues with everyone about everything, only to find out that approximately 350,000,000 people to the north of him still call hard shells tacos. Good luck with that.
It's not, how can they argue, it's a limit!

So all I've taken from this is that soft-shelled tacos are UNAMERICAN.

No, you should try real mexican food and them compare.
(and yes, I've had both Chipotle and Taco Bell. The former can be pretty good, but it's about as Mexican as Olive Garden is Italian, maybe even less)
Pretty much. The way I see it is you can't compare Chipotle/Taco Bell to real Mexican food. They may share base ingredients but they are NOT the same type of food to be compared equally. It'd be like comparing Spagetti and Pho Noodle bowls. Sure they're both noodles but different worlds apart in type.
Jay - You gives me a sad. I would totally have done that but I haven't seen my sister in almost half a year now. As well as our online/phone/text communications have all but become a trickle.
I've only had Chipotle once, and never again. They blobbed all the rice at the bottom and it was HORRIBLE! Also its once of those places where they tell you how many calories a dish is, it just feels pretentious.
You're missing out on some really good times by basing your decision entirely on a lone experience without any further data.
This isn't limited only to Chipotle.
Even so I avoid most chain restaurants like the plague. If I want a burrito I'll just go down-town Hammonton.
I've heard the Mexican place near Bruni's pizza is pretty decent.
Sadly, he speaks the truth.
EDIT: Oh, and I had a Cheese Butterburger from Culvers last night. Yum.
Used one hand, though. Had to use the other to ward off others trying to steal my crinkle-cut fries.
Why would you want a dead guy holding your cheeseburger? That doesn't sound appetizing.A one-handed cheeseburger is hardly worth considering.
(Unless said hand belonged to Andre the Giant.)
For those with TMJ like myself, one must always make sure to have a relaxed jaw otherwise you will feel the horrible pain of a thousand dying sons.
As for handling the burger I use two hands to firmly grip it, depends on the burger size. If its one of those little meat pattys you can get by the dozen, than one handed is good. If its a real burger though, I use two hands or risk losing pieces of the deliciousness.

I usually go to Los Lomas, but that place is good. Haven't been there in a while though.

Sorry, Charlie, but this is entirely relevant, as Kevin Smith is roughly 78% cheeseburgers.Kevin Smith is fucking awesome to this day.
Animal style from In & Out, if I remember.

I have to say with complete honesty that if someone took the same bun that I use on my burger and deep fried it, I might not think it was a traditional burger, but I'd still be okay calling it a hard burger or something. Also, I honestly assumed everyone knew the authentic shell was the soft one.
