My New Favorite Blog

It's not economics, but it is about something just as good (perhaps even a little better): Mexican food.

If you live in Wicker Park, Chicago, then you need to know about Nate Silver's Burrito Bracket:

Here are some facts.

* I like burritos and other cheap Mexican food.
* I work from home, am too lazy to cook, and therefore eat out for lunch several times a week.
* I recently moved to a neighborhood -- Chicago's Wicker Park -- that features an abundance of good, cheap Mexican food.
* Did I mention that I like burritos?
* Mmm, burritos.

Put these things together, and you'll see that my mission is obvious: a 15-week quest to find the best taqueria in Wicker Park.

Tune in to the Cinderella story in the making as #12 seed Dona Naty's Taco defeats the fifth-ranked Taqueria Super Burrito.
