This is actually an amazing piece of writing!

I especially like the reference near the end to the "burrito somelier at Nobu 57"!

You're right, Brian - that is an impressive piece, in its way. Pretty funny.

This took some major WORK. It reads like something out of a public works or contractors' industry magazine (I work in Planning and sometimes read said magazines!)

I love the concept of a burrito somelier.
