Mexican chain to fly Aussie backpacker home for a burrito

It’s hard to live without home comforts when you’re backpacking.

But one Aussie reached breaking point this week – and messaged his favourite Mexican chain to rant about the lack of a good burrito in his life.

Cal Ryan, from Brisbane, has spent the past six months eating his way across Europe but still missed his favourite meal from home.

In a last-ditch effort, he took to Guzman Y Gomez’s Facebook page and challenged them to fly him home from London (and back) just to get his burrito fix.

‘Hi there, I would just like to report my disgust in your inability to provide Guzman over in Europe,’ Cal wrote.

‘I feel deprived and marginalised. It’s been 6 months now that I’ve been backpacking Europe.

‘And although the abundance of exotic cuisines has tested and changed my palette, there is one food that still chases me in my dreams each night.

‘A chicken fajita burrito bowl with brown rice and guacamole (guacamole is a given…).’

He challenged them to fly him home for the treat, which they happily took him up on.

Guzman Y Gomez said they’d fly Cal home for a meal if he racked up 3,000 comments and 1,000 shares on the post

Guzman shared Cal’s post and said he needed to rack up 3,000 comments and 1,000 shares by November 26 and they would fly him home for the chicken burrito he so craved.

And Australia quickly jumped on the campaign to ‘Bring Cal Home for a burrito.’

The goal was hit within 24 hours, so next week, Cal will be flown home to attend Guzman’s 100th store opening on the Gold Coast.

CAL RYAN’S FACEBOOK RANT

Hi there, I would just like to report my disgust in your inability to provide Guzman over in Europe. I feel deprived and marginalised.

It’s been 6 months now that I’ve been backpacking Europe. And although the abundance of exotic cuisines has tested and changed my palette, there is one food that still chases me in my dreams each night.

A chicken fajita burrito bowl with brown rice and guacamole (guacamole is a given…).

I put forward a proposition for a new campaign, or gofundme page. ‘Bring Cal Home for a burrito.’ Where I’m flown from London to Brisbane for a burrito, and then back to London where I shall continue to live my life. If this is something you’re open to.

If you’re open to collaboration, please let me know.

Yours faithfully in Mexican spices,

Cal Ryan

From there, he’ll be flown to Canberra to receive his burrito by drone before heading back to London.

Understandably, Cal is delighted.

‘GUYS – THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Guzman Y Gomez IS FLYINE ME LONDON > HOME FOR A BURRITO > LONDON,’ he wrote on Facebook.

‘A massive thank you to everyone who saw my dream with me and supported. I love you guys!’
