A Massachusetts judge has settled it: A burrito is not a sandwich. Panera Bread had claimed that the White City Shopping Center violated an agreement to keep out other sandwich shops when it rented space to Qdoba Mexican Grill. Panera sued, saying that Qdoba's burritos were sandwiches. Qdoba countered with testimony from a former USDA bigwig and a chef, who said calling a burrito a sandwich "would be absurd to any credible chef or culinary historian." The judge said the dictionary was clear: A sandwich has two slices of bread, a burrito has a single tortilla. Case closed. (From The Boston Globe.)
