Keneke's Burritos: Is It Even Meat?
Since I've posted about Burrito Union, in a seemingly unfavorable fashion, I want to put this into perspective by reviewing their competition.
Keneke's is another burrito place in Duluth. It's downtown adjacent to Dubhlinn Pub. It was actually the first burrito joint to open here in Duluth, so when it did I was curious to sample their goods when they opened.
I got the chicken burrito with corn salsa. The size of the burrito was pretty standard, and at first glance upon unwrapping it all looked very normal. Without further inspection I decided to taste it. Bad idea.
Was it the rice, salsa, or meat that had a hint of urine flavor?
I'm not even kidding, and it doesn't stop there. I tried to chew the meat. I did. I really tried. It was spongy in some parts, as if I may have been eating processed animal tissue. You know how on the ingredients of a Slim Jim they write "mechanically seperated chicken"? Well, the seperated parts that don't make it into a Slim Jim must have ended up in my tortilla.
There wasn't enough cheese on it to mask the flavor. I don't even know if there was any cheese because I couldn't taste it.
I consider myself to have a decent appetite, and I couldn't finish it. In fact I left hungry but my stomach didn't feel well enough to eat something else, having digested meat flavored animal tissue that smelled like urine.

The proof awaits you at these extablishments. Next time you're at Dubhlinn's and you're drunk and hungry, I would suggest cabbing it to Perkin's. Unless you like puking up garbage.
