Someone in LA Filed a Petition to Trademark ‘Breakfast Burrito’ | Eater
"A longstanding Santa Fe restaurant whose owner, Nick Maryol, says his father didn’t invent the breakfast burrito but was the first to call it a “breakfast burrito” and put it on a menu in the 1970s. Maryol stresses that the item grew organically from a New Mexican tradition of wrapping bacon, eggs, potatoes and cheese in a warm tortilla, so claiming sole invention is as absurd as claiming to have invented a cheese sandwich. The spot is therefore tied to the breakfast burrito’s evolution from a regional Southwestern comfort food to a national brunch staple." - Jaya Saxena
