Sifting the web

Something that a number of the blogs I frequently read do very well, but which I almost never do, is sift the web. When all else fails, link!
Watching
Ann Arbor Foodie Nation at Concentrate — a nicely produced video about the food scene here in the Deuce, featuring interviews with owners of eve and Logan:
Listening

Eating
Way too much junk food, thanks to my discovery of the BTB (formerly Big Ten Burrito) Cantina on South University. Last week saw me there twice. In a row. BTBC is in a great space above Charley’s, and offers the same menu as the classic BTB. The space is awash in natural light and the fare is cheap and good enough. Yes, it caters to the undergrad palate, and yes, it has some arcade games, but it’s easy on the librarian(ish) wallet and the deep red/birch color scheme they have going on is pleasing. As for the burritos? Completely passable.

I am within biking/walking distance of the BTB on Packard. It has provided us with dinner many, many nights when I am too exhausted to cook. Long live the BTB!!!!
Just today I solved what had become a mystery to me at BTB. The vegetarian burrito includes rice, the classic does not. I tend to order them interchangeably and could never figure out why rice was sometimes present and sometimes not. That said, I’m fond of BTB, but Shana and I agree that their should be rice in a burrito. There just should be.
Good point. I just usually get the vegetarian one (not that I’m vegetarian for anything else :))
But yeah, I totally agree…no rice leaves it kinda naked.
