Ep 29 - Viva Burritos & Rio Grande III

In this week's episode, we discuss a new burrito place in Oshawa called Viva Burritos. Great food, old school customer service, affordable and quick! Also, we pine for our favourite Morgantown Mexican Restaurant: Rio Grande III.
Towards the end of the episode, we incorrectly identified Chi-chi's downfall - it was not e. coli in the romaine or tainted salsa - it was Hepatitis A from the green onions. Well, the moral of the story is, you can never trust a green onion cause you don't know where it's been.
