I realize that may be a bit hard to read. Let me type it out for you.

“Now Offering BURRITOS:

-Mild: Beef and Bean

Ask your barista to heat one up for you!

Without meat: $2.35″

This sign was at the coffee shop at our local Great Indoors. There are a few funny things about this coffee shop. First, the coffee shop used to be a Starbucks…it’s now a Dazbog. That’s a Russian coffee shop. I don’t know what Dazbog means. Any Russian friends out there that can help me out?

I’m a fan of Russian culture – language, music, matryoshka dolls. I know it’s possible to get decent coffee in Russia. I’ve had it. But if you were to ask me what countries are known for good espresso I would answer Italy, France, possibly Spain. I’d definitely think of Seattle even though its not a country. But Russia? Probably not.

But I’m getting derailed here. Where was I? Right, Dazbog.

Second, burritos in a coffee shop? Really? Furthermore, burritos in a Russian coffee shop? I’m just having some trouble with that.

Third, I’m not sure about you, but I have never had a meat and potato burrito. I’m starting to feel my gag reflex going thinking about it.

Fourth, if all of your options are mild, is it really necessary to put “mild:” before each one?

Fifth and finally, I think this phrase speaks for itself. “Ask your barista to heat one up for you!”
