## Synopsis

We kick off this year's **Munch Madness: Tournament of Chompions (Mouth of the Border, Hollywood vs Heartland Region)** with Farley Elliott as we compare Green Burrito/Red Burrito to Poquito Mas.

## Nick's intro

   Hawaiian Gardens, California - 1980: A Puerto Rican immigrant named Ruben Rodriguez buys a local Mexican eatery and revamps its menu, growing it into a small chain. In 1992, Rodriguez forms an alliance with Arby's to launch co-branded restaurants and two years later upgrades partners to dual-named burger megalith Carl's Jr./Hardee's.

Studio City, California - 1984: Lifelong Angeleno, Kevin McCarney, opened a taqueria inspired by trips to Baja California. With its fresh ingredients and abundance of healthy seafood- and veggie-based options, it grows within the greater LA area and becomes a go-to for office work lunches.

Both of these Mexican-food eateries originate in SoCal strip malls, but while one spread to 500 outlets nationwide via its big brother, Carl, the other is so married to Tinseltown, there's a location literally on the Warner Bros. Studio lot.

Which of these 'Mexican for Caucasian' concepts will prevail in a taco/burrito tag-team throwdown?!

This week on *Doughboys*, the first match-up of the opening round of **Munch Madness: The Tournament of Chompions: Mouth of the Border: Hollywood vs. Heartland Region** - Green Burrito/Red Burrito vs. Poquito Más.

*Let's a-go!*

## Munch Madness: Mouth of the Border Rules

This year's Tournament rules:

* Sides stay on the sidelines.
* Drinks are in the Gatorade jug, also on the sidelines.
* Each chain gets one taco and one burrito, but the style can be eater's choice: crunchy/soft, any kind of protein, etc.
* Scoring is based on referee stripes: 5 white stripes available for tacos, 5 black stripes available for burritos.
* Also one restaurant will get a Golden Whistle for having the better chips and salsa.

The loser is sent to The Ref, Dennis Leary, to feed to Bruce the Shark from *Jaws* who will eat anything; but there will again be a Fat Chance Kitchen opportunity to return to the competition.
