Flying Burrito

[Nic Nac]

Looks like Flying Burrito will be going in the former Crusty Croissant space at 36th and Peoria.  Great addition to Brookside.

This sounds like an interesting addition to Brookside.  The website says this is their first location outside of Arkansas.  Is anyone familiar with them?

You beat me to it!

Thanks, you made me feel much younger.

Is this anything like that place that threw rolls to your table?

If so it could get kinda messy in there at lunch time.

I recommend "Hot Burrito #1"

I've eaten at locations in NW Arkansas.  Very good food.  Along the same lines as chipotle and qdoba.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and give them under a year. This looks more along the lines of Atomic Burrito which fizzled in comparison to the Qdoba/Chipotle chains. Flying Burrito is a small chain with little marketing power and nothing distinctive compared to the other two. Not to mention, brookside seems to lean more towards restaurants with waiter then places that serve off of a cafeteria line.

Freebirds in Norman is a great burrito place along those lines.

So are the heirs of Grahm Parsons or any of the original players connected to this company? or are just the people that were there, back then, seeing a connection.

Wonder if there is a copyright of any sorts on the name?

Rico, as it would relate to "Flying Burrito Brothers" that copyright would apply for those three words, "Flying Burrito" would be entirely another.

Back when the internet was first starting to roll along, people were buying up viable domain names, for instance: someone could have bought pepsi.com without violating a trademark or copyright of Pepsico, Inc. (so long as Pepsico's IP attorneys weren't on the ball and did not get those trademarked or copyrighted prior to someone else doing so) because of the .com part of the name. 

This happened to a company my ex-wife worked for here in Tulsa.  A competitor (former employee of the company I'm speaking of) bought every imagineable permutation they would have used for the business name plus .com, .org.  The owner of the company's wife was an IP attorney.  IIRC, She discovered what the competitor did was perfectly legal due to the .com or .org being added on.  Not a thing they could do about it.

I think that they added a "squatters" law to stop this practice.  Not real sure on everything about htat but remember hearing something along those lines some time back.

What do you mean Atomic Burrito fizzled in comparison to Qdoba/Chipotle?
In the beginning (Tulsa region anyhow)... there was only Atomic Burrito.
Owners decided to open Los Cabos and sold their A.B. locations to Qdoba.
Years later, Chipotle comes to town.

I hope you are WRONG... when my brother was at UA we ate at the Flying Burrito most every time we were in town... very good food.
