Snow won't stop The Wild Burrito's opening
This is an offshoot of the South Philadelphia native's summertime shop in Wildwood.
It's good strategy to make nice with your new neighbors.
Joe Carpenter knows that a few flakes of snow are expected to fall Saturday, Jan. 23, but he'll open his Wild Burrito shop anyway at 2015 E. Moyamensing Ave. (215-336-9453) in the Pennsport section. He'll start slowly, handing out comp hot chocolate, chorizo chili and vegan chorizo chili while supplies last. Regular hours will start Sunday.

He sells Mission-style burritos, and while he's fully aware that Mexican emigres are plying their trade all over South Philadelphia, The Wild Burrito uses the customizable pick-this/pick-that system popularized by Chipotle. Specialties are ghost pepper brownies and avocado fries; the menu has many vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. It's BYOB.
