Damned activist commenters!

That aside, I agree with you and the judge: Panera should shut its bread hole and write better leases in future.

Well, is a burrito a sammich, or ain't it?

(The fact that a burrito is involved strikes me as almost moot - during the summer after my freshman year in college, I had an intern job at a factory with lots of Mexican workers, and was introduced to what they called the "Guadalajara Steak Sandwich", a slab of bologna, a slab of Velveeta, wrapped in a burrito and microwaved. My heart clogs up just thinking about it)

Place I ate in Columbus, when I lived there and now whenever I go back, used to make the missing link between burritos and sandwiches. The Torta, I understand, is a Cuban sort of sandwich. La Bamba took the Cuban bread and added all sorts of burrito fillings and served it like a sandwich.

I think, on careful examination, the burrito is not a sandwich. It is a wrap. When you take a thin, unleavened bread like substance and place within it food stuff, that's a wrap. When you take regular fluffy bread, cut in slices and place food stuff between the slices, that's a sandwich.

The sandwich wrap confuses things - but here, sandwich is an adjective for the noun wrap. It is a wrap filled with stuff that we normally associate with regular sandwiches. But, as we see, still a wrap. The salad wrap confirms this diagnosis - a wrap filled with salad stuff, and no one confuses that with a sandwich.
