jblahmaster Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Are you vegetarian? Sounds like a great veggie burrito! There's a vegan Mexican place up the street called Quesadilla La Rayna that make the raddest vegan burritos with tons of different mock meats like carnitas, pastor, barbacoa amongst others - they usually include both tomato and tomatillo based hot sauces with each burrito that I'm pretty sure they make themselves. Having the stuff fresh makes it hard to go back to the pre-bottled for sure. Why the fuck doesn't a place like this exists in my city?! seriously though, that place sounds great.

cwilks Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I dig the chili lime cholula more so than regular cholula. Melindas xxx reserve is good with a decent kick. Pure Poison is good if you like it hot. That place with the potatoes sounds amazing whats it called? I work at a Mexican restaurant similar to chipotle. Many more choices wish we had potatoes.

kriss Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 I've only been able to find this in Chinatown and while it's cheap, it's super intense and you definitely don't need all that much. We had pad thai last night for dinner and I threw this in for the hot element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanmccauley38 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 On a hot sauce note, has anyone had any of the Lingham's brand chili sauces? I grew up on the stuff. Anything I eat with ketchup, I'll probably dig more with Lingham's. Good stuff. And Maggi chili ketchup. Perfect Heinz substitute, in my opinion. I haven't had chipotle in so long for the ability to get potatoes alone. I love that place. There's this awesome little, hole in the wall burrito place near my old high school and they served a fat, kinda spicy, potato burrito. I haven't looked at burritos the same since. Yay potatoes!

jerseydave77 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Kriss - it fits about 15 bottles. I'm a volunteer firefighter so my wife indulged my idea. It looks great in the kitchen honestly. Also, as far as Chinese chili pastes etc - ask for Mama Cho's chilis in oil. They are the best and my friend from China agrees. The issue is that the label is in Chinese so you to have a grocer who's going to indulge you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that the label is in Chinese so you to have a grocer who's going to indulge you. I'd imagine they may have that in Chinatown at one of the dozen or so grocers there, will definitely look for it but I'd have to ask someone what's in it since alot of oil based Asian sauces and pastes have some sort of fish ingredient. Do you know if this is the case? I love Chinese markets because the pricing seems to have stopped somewhere in the early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 No fish - I'm a veggie. The label has a black and white photo of an old lady that looks a bit like a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ah good deal! I make my own pad thai for that reason because as of yet I've not found a place in town who prepare it sans the fish sauce (even the ones who say they have vegan options - apparently vegans can still eat fish). This Mama Cho's seems like it would be great on that and fried rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlikesmusic Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 For sure! I don't really go to chipotle but we have a local place that is kinda the same thing as chipotle but you can get wheat tortillas, brown rice, sweet and regular potatoes in your burrito. I haven't had chipotle in so long for the ability to get potatoes alone. I love that place. The Chipotle that just opened up here has brown rice as an option. I think they plan on expanding it to other locations soon. Potatoes should also come soon enough if they expand breakfast burritos to all locations as well. (Sweet potatoes in a burrito sounds fucking disgusting, though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I remember hearing awhile back that select chipotles were also planning on getting a mock meat option but haven't been to any in awhile to see if that happened. I don't think they were doing anything as complex as seitan - probably just tofu or something but still, a nice addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I would enjoy another meatless option at Chipotle. Just fajita veggies aren't cutting it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 ^ That's why we stopped going. For awhile, piling tons of guacamole in was enough but after a few years, it was time for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried mostly for fear of ruining a perfect burrito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 don't forget! SRC now carries hot sauce!!! so now you can buy hot sauce and rekkiddzz all in one stop! http://www.shopradiocast.com/categories/Hot-Sauce/ Hahahaha, what the hell?

Blaire's Ultra Death - http://extremefood.com/shop/product.php?productid=14 Me and my buddy were just talking about this stuff as he has a bottle. I tried a bit as a little taste test. Pretty damn good and also quite the kick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC now carries hot sauce!!! so now you can buy hot sauce and rekkiddzz all in one stop! http://www.shopradiocast.com/categories/Hot-Sauce/ We actually have always carried hot sauce! I personally have an interest in, as do others at SRC so we added some to the store when we first began. Only recently have we updated the section. Actually adding and finding all the new sauces we have now was my daughters summer project since she likes them too! I also grow peppers as a hobby and make my own sauce / chili powder. This year I ended up with over 1,200 peppers!! So yeah, it may not make sense to some (records and hot sauce), but it was a personal thing we enjoy and we are happy others do too!

jerseydave77 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Habanero plants, when in full bloom with peppers, are one of the prettiest out there. I have great success in NJ with Cayenne and Thai Chilis as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Do you grow them? What all does it take to do so? When Winter passes, Mellie and I have been discussing doing a DIY garden on the back porch of our apartment with the typical set up of buckets and dirt and along with lemon basil, we've been looking for other things we'd enjoy growing. Fresh habaneros would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerrr Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I grew bell peppers pretty easily in the harsh Vegas heat so I would imagine you'd have no problem growing some in the Chicago area. You should try to grow strawberries as well they're pretty easy to grow and take up very little space. I once planted an artichoke plant and thought that it wasn't going to produce fruit. I trimmed it up over the winter and in the spring I was blown away when I was getting softball sized artichokes! Unrelated, but I just thought I'd share.
