About This Project

Ask the Scientists

What is the context of this research?

Many people have tried to conclusively answer the question of where is the best burrito in the world, and many studies point towards San Francisco. I am lucky enough to be living in the burrito epicenter of the world, where the mission burrito was invented.

What is the significance of this project?

This is an important question because it so frequently comes up, and there's a surprising lack of scientific data on this topic. More importantly, if this works for burritos could these methods scale towards other types of foods or products?

What are the goals of the project?

We will gather samples and qualitative analyze them in a controlled and blinded experiment. We'll place all the burritos in one setting and we'll conduct a test to gather qualitative data.
