MG Chicken Burrito

[Boink]

Car Talk's Tom & Ray making Chicken Burrito à la MG with Chef Ming Tsai from PBS's "Simply Ming". Looks like their advice to the mom with the hungry kid wasn't all bad.

I've been sorely tempted to add a hotplate to my Studebaker. There's enough room in there to do a roast with potatoes and veggies.

Many years ago, my dad was a crane operator. His helper watched my dad put a can of food on the engines manifold to heat it up. What his helper didn't notice was my dad punched a hole in the top of the can. The helper decided he was going to do the same thing and put a can of baked beans on the manifold a little later. Dad was operating the crane when he heard a loud explosion, got up and went in the back and discovered beans everywhere, ever see how far a can of beans can cover? That rig smelled like baked beans for the next 6 months, even after dad made him clean the mess up and wash the roof and walls. We laughed about that for years. PJ

I was at Lime Rock years ago for an SCCA event (I was crewing).

I was hanging out with my friend Dale, who always heated our food on the manifold of his tow vehicle.
We were paddocked pretty close to Newman's Nissan; Joanne Woodward came over and asked what the heck we were doing? She was greatly amused.

Yes, somebody gave me this YEARS ago (20?). Didn't have the nerve to try any of it, but it looked like a fun way to travel by car and prepare a meal. :laugh:
