The eternal debates rage on…

December 29, 2009 · FoodHussy · 3 Comments

Everybody in Cincinnati has their favorite – what’s yours? Gold Star or Skyline? I have to admit – I’m more in the Skyline camp but the boyfriend likes Gold Star…so sometimes you have to compromise…

Prepackaged vs. served in a bowl…ah I do love the bowl. But prepackaged and I don’t eat them! Better for the caloric intake (cuz that matters???).

I’m typically more of a coney girl than a 3-way girl (that’s what she said) and since I’m not as much a fan of Gold Star I decided to be different and get a chicken burrito – why not?

Grilled Chicken Burrito
Hearty burrito filled with seasoned, grilled chicken breast and lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese & chipotle ranch sauce – topped with chipotle ranch sauce, cheese & sour cream (topper extra charge).

Holy hell – that thing was GIANT! I didn’t really realize that the “topper” was an extra charge until after I’d said yes – but what the hell.

I should have taken a picture of the inside – so much stuff! It was a lot of lettuce – I’ll admit that…and the sour cream on top did wonders for it. The chicken was very juicy and tender so that was good. Kinda would have liked a little chili thrown in for good measure – think I’ll ask for that next time.

This burrito is huge but it was very tasty and if you’re not in the mood for the traditional offerings – it’s a nice variety. Or if you get dragged to a Cinci chili restaurant and you hate it (ala my sister) then you have something you can order!

It is akin to a Chipotle burrito but not NEAR as good – but better than a Taco Bell burrito. How’s that for comparisons?

    I think a lot of people prefer what was closest to their house growing up. In my case, it was Gold Star…and it's my favorite today. I like the texture, spices and cheese better than Skyline.

    I'm not a Cincinnati native, so I can't stand Gold Star or Skyline! It's good to know there are options for us Cinci chili haters. I figured my only option would be cheese fries (which I never turn down), but the burrito doesn't sound half bad!

    Well Jessica – I can tell you – for the first year – I hated it…but then I tried it again and something in the Cincinnati water changed my taste buds I guess cuz now I love it!

    But yes – BOTH places have chili-free burritos!

    Enjoy!
