As a big fan of Chipotle, I knew coming to Ireland I’d be making a big sacrifice not having it for a year. When I heard all the Irish raving about how Boojum was their version of Chipotle, except better (they lied), I knew I’d have to give it a try and see for myself. When it was my turn to order the worked said “you ok?”. I found out later she wasn’t concerned about how I was doing, that’s just the way of saying “how can I help you”. At the register I had a two-minute-long conversation with the cashier and I’m still not sure what it was about. I couldn’t understand a single word he was saying so I just nodded and smiled. He could have been throwing out insults at me and I still would have just been sitting there smiling and nodding away. I was also surprised that the music they played was all American pop songs. For whatever reason I didn’t think that people in Ireland listened to American music but that’s definitely not true
As good as the burrito was don’t believe the hype when they tell you Boojum is better than Chipotle. It’s just not true, but it was really good and I’m sure I’ll be finding myself there a lot in Cork.
