Welcome To Saltville, USA

They say you always want what you can't have. And since there are few good Mexican restaurants in Europe, I've been craving burritos, enchiladas and tacos for months. So last night, after going to the movies (two giant thumbs up for The Bourne Ultimatum), we ventured out for Mexican food. Sadly, eating my combination platter was like dumping a pound of salt down my throat.

I remember Mexican food being a bit heavy on the white stuff. But I don't recall those establishments outside of the fast food category relying so much on it to flavor the food. Apparently, living in Europe has altered my taste buds.

So with Mexican food now off my "must have" list while visiting Chicago, I wonder what's next to fall from grace. Will deep dish pizza take a tumble?
