Yesterday I helped run a Celebrity Soccer Match for Grassroot Soccer at the Lions' Gate Field in Chinatown. Celebrities included cats like Frank LeBeouf (former French Soccer Star), Tony Meola, and that dude who played Superman in the latest Superman movie. But the real highlight was Yannick Noah, the former French tennis star and current Reggae Artist. He had five goals.
The event was partially sponsored by Chipotle which meant free tacos. You have to love Chipotle but I put it in the same category as 5 Guys Burgers: ubiquitous guilty pleasures. They are everywhere! And they are both addictively good. While I have always had serious problems with fast food restaurants (I've only had a Big Mac once in my life, and never a burger from Burger or Wendy's), somehow 5 Guys and Chipotle flew in under my fast food censors and are now fair game. I guess when I think about it there is nothing inherently wrong with Chipotle, but falling under the category of fast food gives it negative connotations for me. I guess that's just Noah being Noah.
On a different note, another of the sponsors for the event was Powerade, and their Stawberry Lemonade flavor is quite good.
