A judge in Massachusetts has ruled that burritos are not sandwiches. It seems that, when Panera moved into a Shrewsbury shopping center, its lease included a clause preventing the landlord from renting to another sandwich shop. Qdoba, a burrito shop similar to Chipotle but owned by Jack In The Box instead of McDonalds, drew the ire of Panera when it signed a lease there. Fortunately, the judge found that “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.” I hope he fined Panera steeply for wasting his time with such a stupid matter.
