Rant: Places that put too much rice in their wraps

Post by Cronos »

Chipotle, Au Bon Pain, etc: I'm talking to you.

I like wraps. Truly I do. Meat, cheese, various sauces, lettuce, tomatos, etc. Delicious.

But I hate how places that make wraps fill the need to stuff the thing with as much rice as they possibly can just to make it look bigger and so they can charge more. I practically gagged on one today that I ordered for lunch. When I have to specifically instruct the server to put half as much as they normally do, it's just too much.

I want lots of rice, so that it's bigger and fills me up.

Yeah, as long as they don't skimp on the other toppings, I'm cool with it. There's worse things to fill up on than rice.

I'm a fan of rice so it doesn't bother me, but like someone else said as long as it doesn't take away from other stuff.

I don't mind the rice, but for the price I'm paying I'd rather my wrap/burrito be filled with things like cheese, meat, and vegetables.

I also like rice, but I'm with C-note. If I'm paying $6 for this thing, it should be loaded with premium toppings. Otherwise I can just make the same thing at home for a lot less.

Isn't this always the case with restaurant food?

Is $6 really alot though? I don't think it matters how much rice they add the amount of chicken/beef is always the same.
