i was austin last week for a couple of days. all i did was eat and shop.

but a friend took me to eat at madam ma'ams and its really good!!!

if you like tai food, its really good. i also went to freebirds (think chipotle) but it wasn't as good.

thats my random thread of day !

They have freebirds here too.

Qdoba>Chipotle>Freebirds

Justwakin · 03-15-2007, 02:17 PM

freebirds blows chipotle out of the water hands down....casey (hunter) has my back on that.

never had Qdoba tho...where is that at?

preludelancer · 03-15-2007, 02:28 PM

a lot of austinites always ***** about how much freebirds is better than chipotle. They just do it because they are hippies and they think chipotle has sold out and have gone mainstream. Which they have, but its still damn good.

I can't tell the difference between two burritos that have the same stuff?

lumanogin · 03-15-2007, 05:08 PM

i like taco bell. mostly because i can afford it

Justwakin · 03-15-2007, 07:05 PM

freebirds rices is better. bigge burrito options as well. more options to add to it.

Hunter · 03-15-2007, 07:36 PM

freebirds is the sh*t hands down. i dont like chipotle. i always feels like theyre putting way too much rice and not enough anything else.

bigtimlikewhoa · 03-15-2007, 10:08 PM

Madam Ma'ms is really good I've been there! hehehe did u get pad thai? I love their pad thai

petern101 · 03-15-2007, 11:32 PM

omg its chipotle > freebirds > qdoba

i know because i've gone to all 3 countless times. the freebirds in dallas a little far but when i was at UTD, we had qdoba 1 mile away and a chipotle 1 mile away.

i've gone to all so much that i can distinguish each burrito. i always get the same thing burrito at each place so i can compare. my gf will back me up about chipotle ruling.

who the hell cares about mainstream? either i get a damn good burrito or not. and sorry freebird bishes, chipotle owns joo

tehsu · 03-16-2007, 01:00 AM

Doesn't each burrito have the amount of calories for one day

alvanderp · 03-16-2007, 04:12 AM

I'm with Justin, I like freebirds better than chipotle, and it has nothing to do with chipotle becoming mainstream.

Although I will agree Madam Ma'ams is really good if you like thai. Peter, if you enjoy American comfort food at all, you need to check out Moonshine the next time you are here. Its on 3rd and Red River, and they have alot of interesting Americanized versions of foods. The Corndog Shrimp is awesome

Justwakin · 03-16-2007, 10:37 AM

i liked chipotle at first. i never knew what freebirds was untill a friend took me. and i lived a mile from it and when casey and i were roomates we ate that sh!t like once a week.

casey has a point....chipotle puts a lot of rice in it to fill you up and greedy with the rest. freebirds loads it up however. plus you have more options. black beans or refried. so many veggis to add, all kinds of sauces, more burrito sizes, plus they have flour, spinach, wheat, and cajun flavord totrillias.

im throwing the "freebirds" sign with my hands representing but yall cant see it.

i think we should all have meets and try each place and do a vote!

snotshake · 03-17-2007, 12:43 PM

Kinda OT: I went to Austin thursday, friday and left today. I had totally forgotten how weird Austin is. God am I glad I'm not going to UT. :whew:

BTW, Lance and Shane, I would have looked ya'll up but I had NO free time.

petern101 · 03-17-2007, 02:41 PM

i'm sure austin is glad you aren't either ! hahahaha

snotshake · 03-17-2007, 03:49 PM

Ouch, burn.

Premo example: Leaving the Dobie parking garage, the garage attendant said, "would you care for some free DVDs?" Sure, why not? Then she hands us two movies. The first one talks about how 9/11 was a government conspiracy, etc... and the other talked about the US's progress into fascism.

WTF??!!

We stopped in a Micky D's on the way back and ran into the "Iranian's for Peace" bus. Apparantly they have a float in the Austin St. Patrick's Day parade.

Also, I don't know whether it was just because of SXSW, but there were more hippies there then I'd ever seen before!

Back on topic: Chiloso > *. Peter should have my back on this one.

petern101 · 03-17-2007, 04:40 PM

actually while i was in austin, there was a surprising amount of hobos on the side of the road. its so wierd coming from dallas area where you can't do that (its illegal to panhandle)

so yeah, dfw > anywhere else in texas.

and where is chiloso, i will try it out.

snotshake · 03-17-2007, 06:05 PM

You've never been to Chiloso? It's in Rockwall. If you know where Schlotsky's/ Burger King is, it is right behind that in the shopping center that has that Asian Buffet and Lady of America. If you know where Culver's is, it is right behind that as well.

BTW, tell them the Pool Stop guy sent you, hehe. They know me.

petern101 · 03-17-2007, 07:50 PM

^will do. maybe i might go there tom night

btw want to watch dead silent tonite??? haha i'm going to the 10:10 showing at harbors

snotshake · 03-17-2007, 10:16 PM

Haha, sorry, I just got back from... THE HARBOR!! Me and a work buddy went to en fuego for a couple hours and hung out in the parking lot for an hour or so. I guess I missed you. I was parked really close to the front, maybe you saw my car?
