At J’s Prairie Rose Cafe in Laramie, Wyoming, the 7220 Burrito stands as a towering tribute to comfort food, earning its name from the town’s impressive elevation. This hefty creation is packed with crispy hash browns, sautéed veggies, and a zesty pork green chili.

The special pork rub and a rich roux-based green chili bring a flavorful, homemade flair to this burrito. Diners are in for a treat as each ingredient melds together, delivering not just a meal but a flavorful journey that Guy couldn’t help but rave about.
Sushi Burrito
At Kenji Burger in Kapa’a, Hawaii, the sushi burrito is a showstopper, combining shrimp tempura and ahi tuna into a seaweed-wrapped sensation.

Diners are in for a treat with this creation, packed with mesquite-smoked pork, a fiery yet creamy queso blanco, and tangy pico de gallo. The whole thing is wrapped in a soft flour tortilla with pinto beans, all crisped up golden and delicious and served on a bed of flavorful Spanish rice.
