Fool Me Once, Feed Me Twice: Tina’s vs. El Monterey Beef & Bean Burritos (Ep 60)

They said it was over. They lied. The Bros are back—and they've got burritos. April Fools, Froze Fam! The fake breakup is officially cancelled, the freezer aisle is open for business again, and Darren and Max have some words about what just happened. This week's face-off pits two of the cheapest frozen burritos against each other: Tina's Beef & Bean vs. El Monterey Beef & Bean. One of these brands claims to be America's number one selling frozen burrito. So does the other one. Somebody's lying—or maybe nobody is. Either way, the Bros dig into the histories: a family that fled the Mexican Revolution and built an empire on Grandma Rosie's recipes, a mysterious company called Camino Real Foods that invented a founder who doesn't exist, and a brief but unavoidable detour into why you may have heard the name "Tina" in a completely different context. In the closing segment, Darren unveils Stick Figuring—a game where Max tries to identify famous moments in frozen food and Froze Bros history from Darren's extremely crude hand-drawn illustrations. Plus: Hot Dr. Pepper. Rita’s Water Ice. Zooming in on the matrix formerly known as the Whimsey-Meter™. Noble Mick's sends a care package. Ellio's sends swag. A listener in Virginia binged 40 or 50 episodes. And Max has the hiccups. Welcome back, folks. We missed you. That whole day we were gone.
