Like Pizza Club before it, Burrito Club examines a specific chunk of Philly cuisine while uniting like-minded fellows in the pursuit of its absolute perfection. With that in mind, it is necessary to be critical when looking closely at something held in such high esteem. Call it tough love.
Burrito Club meets sporadically but with the greatest of pride and purest of motives. We eat heartily and then weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each meeting's designated burrito merchant. The results are then compiled and made available in blog form for the scrutiny and guidance of all.
This is the beginning of a grand discourse. Come hungry.
