A good old taste of Blanchard

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.
The Blanchard Burrito Grill is the only BG in existence, so I encourage all readers and especially my fellow interns to try this place out if they get the chance. These photos and the article that ran with them are still hanging on the wall.
Tell them Garett sent you. It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure Matt still knows who I am.
