56. COS Breakfast Burritos and Hot Takes With The One and Only, Meagan Thomas!

We invited Megan Thomas back on the show for the third time to settle the real Colorado Springs debates: beans or no beans, potatoes as hero or filler, handheld vs smothered, and whether french fries belong anywhere near your breakfast. 

Megan walks us through her wildly popular Breakfast Burrito Series, shouting out spots like Azada, Luna Market, Roll Up, Tacos El Amigo and more, while sharing why she’s so passionate about getting locals out of their neighborhood bubbles and into Southeast side gems. 

We also get into what it’s like to go “viral,” dealing with spicy TikTok comments, and why you should never, ever “yuck someone’s yum.”
