Shit, I can't even see the justification for using a knife and fork if you overstuffed the burrito yourself. I make burritos that are practically pouring out, but because I'm able to control the flow, it never actually comes out.

burritos, burgers and pizza are the kind of food that if anyone has to tell anyone how to eat them, then everyone involved is doing it wrong. Just let people enjoy their goddamn burritos.

Yeah for real. I never so something vile like this before.
Hipsters? SF has been the City by the Bay for decades. There's a fucking Journey song about it, for crying out loud.
As an SF native I can tell you that there are three acceptable names for The City:
1. San Francisco
2. The City (add "by the Bay" if you must, but it's unnecessary)
3. SF (mainly in print, not so much in conversation)
It's not Frisco, Cisco, San Fran, or anything else. Those three. Period.
ProTip: For those who see it called The City and have the reaction of "Well there are other cities, San Francisco, hello?", you should know there's some history there. For more than a century, San Francisco was the only major city on the West Coast. LA, Portland, Seattle...these were mere villages and pueblos in comparison until the early-to-mid 20th century. For well over 100 years, San Francisco's nearest metropolitan neighbors were St. Louis, Chicago, and New Orleans, and SF was the only city west of the Rockies that rivaled them in culture and sophistication. Therefore, if you were anywhere in the western half of the United States and you said you were going to The City, everyone knew you meant San Francisco. To this day, there are people as far north as Seattle who refer to SF as The City, and most locals know what they mean. So if you come to SF and you want to sound like a local, just call it The City. It sounds like a vague, offhand reference that requires clarification, but in reality it's a slick historical shorthand that goes back almost two full centuries.
Street food-style burritos, sure.
But restaurant burritos usually need to be eaten with knife and fork.
Also, I've started eating pizza with knife and fork. I don't know why. I think mainly because here in England, I feel like a freak being the only one eating my pizza with hands like a filthy vagabond brought up by wolves when everybody else in the restaurant is politely using their silverware. Oh, and french fries, too.

you can't put a price on sparks
These videos are the worst.
The pizza one in the beginning was the funniest probably, and the burger salad thing was also inspiring.
I also did not learn anything about how to not do it wrong, just learned new ways to do it wrong
Most burritos you eat in a good restaurant are wet and you have to eat with a fork and knife. Most burritos aren't even in foil, they're in paper.

If a burger is soggy, messy, or starts falling it apart I'll commonly just start tearing it to pieces with a fork and knife and continue eating it happily.
I don't like my hands getting all that messy when eating. And I don't care what anyone thinks about how I eat a burger.

I'm not dumber having entered this thread.
Who the fuck, has ever eaten a burrito with a knife and fork.
I've never seen anyone naturally go to do it, no wonder the youtube video has so many down votes.
I might make a neogaf thread.
How to peel a banana or something.
Duur duurp dont shove it in your ass, first peel it, then put it in you mouth, bite down, chew and let it slide down your throat hole.

knife and fork is not an option? Fuck those guys, pizza is made for knife and fork.
Just like soup

Are you using a high pressure washer to apply your salsa?
If you can't figure out how to order your salsa in the burrito like every other person, and struggle with simple social constructs like asking "Hey, could you put a bit more on that for me please? Thanks man!", then just hold the damn burrito vertical, apply some salsa to the top, bite, and then continue applying salsa as you go.
This is definitely what I'm calling them from now on.

Yep. One of my regular joints has burritos like this. Fork and knife was all you used... Which... In hindsight, does seem a little odd now

My sister eats burgers and pizza by picking them apart with her fingers and it drives me insane. Maybe I need to show her these videos.
basically this.

I watched the video all excited to learn how to eat a burrito, and all I learned is that some people are burrito-opening maniacs.

Where do you go for a burrito in the UK? I've never tried one. I don't recall seeing any mexican food places around at all, thinking about it.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat a burrito in a manner other than the demonstrated one (eat upright, peel foil gradually as you take bites).
Also, this SNL classic is obligatory.
