Kathleen Powers posts a 100% guaranteed real press release from the people behind the new Chipotle burrito joint in Davis Square:

So any guide to eating Mexican food here is making the best of what we have rather than trying to appease snotty Californians who like to justify their lives by stating things like – There isn't any good Mexican food in Boston when they visit. ...
