After Thanksgiving the Barlow clan took a trip to the Blue Iguana in Salt Lake City, I guess because we just didn't get enough gluttony on Turkey Day. Anyone who knows me well knows two things about me; I love to eat and I'm always up for a challenge. So, when I saw the Burrito Grande on the menu I just had to try it. It is over 3 pounds and includes chicken and beef (I think a pound of each), rice, beans, and a tortilla the size of Manhattan. If you happen to finish it, they give you a free dessert-- like you'd actually want it? I went in fairly confidant having never really been full at anytime in my life for more than a few minutes. So, I chowed down on the chips and salsa like I normally would at a Mexican restaurant and downed several glasses of Diet Coke before the entree was presented to me. Honestly, I was quite full before they even brought the burrito out, but I thought it wouldn't be a big deal. Boy was I wrong! I have never seen anything like it. Laura compared it's size to a small infant (not sure why?). I had a feeling I would be in trouble, but I tried to tackle the challenge anyway. As you can see by the pictures, I couldn't quite finish it off. I think I may have been able to force the issue, but I have a feeling it would have ended badly. More than anything, I just didn't want anymore of the burrito. I actually drank another glass of Diet Coke before we left and was ready for popcorn at the movie (although we didn't get any-- not sure why?). Next time I will be ready and won't get swindled by the chips and salsa.

I have to say, I'm very impressed Mike! Unless the camera added 10 lbs to that burrito, it is by far the biggest one I've ever seen.
I thought I was going to get your dessert because I knew you wouldn't eat it after that.
It was a nice try - and you almost did it.
