Why Is Everyone In Connecticut Talking About These Massive Burritos

I walked into Elm Street Diner in Stamford, Connecticut, expecting a standard lunch meal. I walked out questioning every burrito I have ever eaten in my life. This place takes classic comfort food and transforms it into absolute magic. They roll up two massive burrito creations, and picking just one feels nearly impossible.

The first option starts with two cheesy tortillas stacked together. They load it up with crispy mozzarella sticks, slow cooked short rib, caramelized onions, and a heavy pour of cheese sauce. They wrap it tight and hit both sides on the flat top grill until golden brown. Slice it down the middle, stack it, and pour on even more warm cheese sauce. They top it off with edible flowers and insert a syringe filled with chipotle mayo. Look at that bite! It is rich, savory, and unreal.

The second option takes a completely different turn for burger lovers. They start with two cheesy tortillas and lay down mozzarella sticks, chopped bacon, waffle fries, and chopped burger patties. Drenched in warm cheese sauce, it gets wrapped and seared on the grill to lock in all that flavor. Sliced in half, stacked high, and smothered with even more cheese sauce, it is pure perfection.

If you are anywhere near Stamford, you need to check out Elm Street Diner immediately. Which of these two giant burritos are you ordering first?
