Just wanted to say I loved your article in the last issue. The dynamics of burritos in particular and fast food in general truly do not lend themselves to in-car consumption. It's like you channeled Douglas Adams for that thing.
Props, man, keep it up

I had a boss that had a whole method worked out for eating a Big Mac and fries, while driving, without getting special sauce on his suit.
I once saw a guy on CA 101 eat Chinese food out of the carton while driving. With chopsticks.
Fluid dynamics in a tortilla pressure vessel -- the things you learn here.
I laughed out loud at the "slurry stacking" and "burrito blowout"
both of which would make killer punk band names.
You know, before I read the article, I thought you could only get a burrito blowout at the Mustang Ranch or in Amsterdam (there its called a Crepe blowout, but tomato/tomato)
In hindsight, I probably should have listened to David, but that burrito wasn't getting any younger.

Cold Mexican food is maybe one notch below cold Indian food on the BLECH! scale.
I like food, I like driving; but together, they are like mint ice cream and orange juice. Why not take the time to enjoy the food and the driving?

And a "that's what he said!"
I'd rather not eat than to have to eat take out whether it is in the car or taking it home.
But the few times we've done it, my experience has been the same as yours.

Because we had to get back for our runs. Looking back, maybe we shouldn't have left for lunch at the last minute. That Cecil, Ga., site is desolate, though.
