Page "San Francisco burrito" Paragraph 7

:" Freezing cold five AM mornings, the best time to pick lettuce, owners needed a very good cook to attract the best fast crews.

We'd get huevos rancheros at five, sweet strong hot coffee with a shot of brandy at seven, then full spicy killer burritos at around 10: 30, keep you going till afternoon.

I remember the texture of the shredded beef, the heat of the green peppers, and the proper proportion of rice and beans.

They were so spicy you didn't need salsa -- but you needed that protein and fiber, couldn't survive without it.
