Burritos aren't sandwiches?

Glad to have that straightened out.

Now, we need to solve that eternal argument: are tomatoes fruits or vegetables?

Panera doesn't expect illegals from South America to eat their samiches do the?

"A sandwich is not commonly understood to include burritos, tacos, and quesadillas,"

A taco is deifnitely a sandwich, so is a gyro. That is absolutely undeniable! Instead of talking to idiot culinary experts and chefs, they should have asked any real Mexican ma. They should have supoenaed a barkeep in a MX neighborhood, where the cerveza is served with salt and lemon. The tortilla, or pita is the bread and it's stuffed with whatever. WHatever means anything they have, or feel like tossing on the tortilla. The word taco properly translates as sandwich. A burrito is simply a variant of a taco, where the tortilla is rolled instead os folded and the filling is mainly bean based.

I work for American Greetings.....try and find an American Greeting store and a Hallmark store in the same mall or near one another in any way.

It just doesnt happen.

(sarc) All other crimes and disputes being taken care of, I'm glad our courts had time to hear this and not throw it out on it's ear....(/sarc)

And people wonder why cynicism is at an all time high...

The next time I go to Panera, I think I'll order the bean and rice sandwich.

Whomever wrote the contract is at fault. There was no need to limit the exclusivity clause to sandwich shops--they could have done all restaurants, or whatever. The judge seems to have looked at the 1) language of the contract, 2) the past dealings of the parties, and 3) trade usage. It doesn't matter if the man on the street would consider a burrito a sandwich, it depends on what those in the business would do. The judge seems to have considered that.

A Burrito Is Not A Sandwich, Judge Rules

... and therefore doesn't qualify for valuable federal sandwich development subsidies ...

If you've NOT tried a "wet" burrito, you don't know what you're missing. Great fast food on the run.
