A good old taste of Blanchard

BLANCHARD, OK, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2004. Erin and Matt Cosby stand by their sign outside of their restaurant, the Burrito Grill in Blanchard. Oklahoman staff Photo by Ty Russell.

I did a search on my hometown, Blanchard, Okla., in The Oklahoman archives and I came across these photos of Burrito Grill shortly after it opened in 2003.

First of all, $3.25 FOR THE SUPER VALUE MENU?!  I can’t imagine such a perfect world.  That price has since gone to $5.59, which devastated my bank account when I was in high school.  I say “devastated,” because it was an addiction that I had to support daily if I didn’t want to shake during Senor Brown’s Spanish II class.

Burrito Grill is owned by Matt and Erin Cosby, a nice couple that wanted to start up their own business after a fast-paced modeling career in Europe.  They have a high standard of quality and a goal to make “awesome, fresh food.”

It is, by far, one of my favorite burrito joints.  And when I say favorite, I’m also considering places like Chipotle and Freebirds.
