It was a Saturday afternoon and the weather had finally started to warm up here in Columbus. When I say warm up I mean it was in the mid-50s. Florida folks would have on their winter coats, but not us mid-westerners. As soon as the temperature hits 50 the windows go down, the shorts come out, and the patios open up. I was on the look out for some good food and a place where I could take advantage of the weather by being outside. The lucky place was Northstar Cafe in the Short North. I had heard people hype up their breakfast burrito for some time, so I figured this was the time to give it a try. I also like the fact that they are big into using local and organic ingredients. The Big Burrito as they call it is probably one of their signature dishes. It consists of eggs, organic black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed peppers & onions, white cheddar and the option of applewood smoked bacon, which I of course had them throw on there. 
For those of you that have specific eating habits you follow they can also make it meat and dairy free. The burrito is a decent size, but I’m not so sure about calling it “big”. I got through the first half of the wrap and was very impressed. The sweetness of the sautéed onions and sweet potatoes along with the saltiness of the bacon and beans made for a nice combination of flavors. I didn’t hold anything back on the second half, but got very tired of the sweet potatoes real quick.
They just became too much and started overtaking all the flavors. The burrito was probably half filled with sweet potatoes, so I might suggest just lessening that a little bit. Other than that the burrito was pretty good and a decent amount of food for $8 ($2 extra for the bacon). It was also nice to be outside on a patio and the Short North always provides a nice scenery in both people and buildings. The White Castle across the street takes a little bit away, but hey everybody needs their fix of sliders every once in a while.
