There’s a lot of squirrels in Lexington, Kentucky. So many that it’s tempting to try and tune them out. But that isn’t right. Squirrels are our buddies. And just like bored pandas deserve to have their own magazines, squirrels deserve more adventurous dining options. So this business made them a little burrito restaurant.
SquirrelsSquirrelsSquirrels Burritos is the culinary collaboration of GirlsGirlsGirls Burritos, the locally-owned spot for exceptional Tex-Mex fare made by people who care, and Cornett, a Lexington ad agency with a knack for fun attention-grabbing work.
The rodent-centric establishment is a stunning scale replica of the GirlsGirlsgGirls storefront. It boasts a luxurious patio space with miniature picnic tables for al fresco dining and a vegan-friendly menu with signature items like The TrashSquirrel Burrito (organic almond butter and pepitas).
Local news was invited to cover the story for a grand opening and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Then, of course, appreciative squirrels were treated to some little squirrel burritos.
