"Judge tells mall restaurant: Burrito is not a sandwich

By The Associated Press

WORCESTER, Mass. — Is a burrito a sandwich?

The Panera Bread bakery-and-cafe chain says yes. But a judge said no, ruling against Panera in its bid to prevent a Mexican restaurant from moving into the same shopping mall.

Panera has a clause in its lease that prevents the White City Shopping Center in Shrewsbury from renting to another sandwich shop. Panera tried to invoke that clause to stop the opening of a Qdoba Mexican Grill.

But Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Locke cited Webster's dictionary and
testimony from a chef and a former high-ranking federal agriculture official in ruling that Qdoba's burritos and other offerings are not sandwiches.

The difference, the judge ruled, comes down to two slices of bread versus one tortilla.

"A sandwich is not commonly understood to include burritos, tacos and quesadillas, which are typically made with a single tortilla and stuffed with a choice filling of meat, rice, and beans," Locke wrote in his decision.

In court papers, Panera, a St. Louis-based chain of more than 900 cafes, argued for a broad definition of a sandwich, saying that a flour tortilla is bread and that a food product with bread and a filling is a sandwich.

Qdoba, owned by San Diego-based Jack in the Box, called food experts to testify on its behalf.

Among them was Cambridge, Mass., chef Chris Schlesinger, who said in an affidavit: "I know of no chef or culinary historian who would call a burrito a sandwich. Indeed, the notion would be absurd to any credible chef or culinary historian."







For the record, I say it is not a sandwich either, and I am a fat kid so I gotta have some good input. I also think panera bread sucks ass for trying to fight something so stupid.

"what is the definition of a 'sandwich'"

I'm so glad I have a black bean and corn empenada waiting for me in the work fridge right now... mmmmmm.

Although I'm also a fan of Panera, there's just no winning against mexican food in my eyes.

Qdoba will probably flop there anyways with Moe's being 50 feet away. Moe's has better food.

if you are going to go to a Mexican place in Worcester, go about a mile to a mile and half up the same road that Qdoba and Moes is on and go to Tortilla Sams. they have phenomenal food, and its BYOB.
