Black History for Five Bucks, plus Burrito Boyz

We went for a 5-buck lunch - for Black History month - at Hart House today. I'll let you check out the menu for yourself:
Here it is:
I think I got a larger-than-average piece of fried chicken. Even so, I was hungry again a few hours later. Overall, the items were pretty good, but somehow they just weren't filling enough. Not enough starch, perhaps. I was looking forward to some collard greens and cheese like they had last year, but unfortunately they didn't come back for an encore.

In the meanwhile, Karen had lunch at Burrito Boyz today. This joint at Peter and Adelaide has been getting some decent reviews and attention recently. Don't know how much different it is from Big Fat Burrito on Augusta. Apparently they offer three (meaty) choices of burrito: steak, chicken, and halibut. Karen had the steak:
Her co-worker had halibut:
I'll let Karen have her say:

The small-sized burrito I got was about 6" long, but packed full of meat. You can choose from your typical lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, etc., and the burritos are available with hot sauce, sour cream, and burrito sauce. Guacamole, however, is an extra $0.50

The burrito was very tasty with lots of meat from end to end. The steak was pretty moist, and the flour wrap itself was thin and crusty, but the moistness of the steak by no means soaked through the wrap to make it soft. Ten minutes later, after I walked back to the office, the burrito was still in excellent shape; warm, juicy, and crusty.
