Chipotle burrito. Half steak, half chorizo, spicy salsa, white rice, black beans, cheese, lettuce. Delicious. ---

Two chili dogs. I was expecting this to be lunch ($4.50 each dog), but then they arrived and they were third-pound dogs on a large french roll, served with chips: basically filled a large plate…each. So it’s lunch and dinner, apparently. ---
