Correction: Nate Keller now tells me that his business actually is not yet operating out of the Douglas County Fairgrounds, but rather out of a rental kitchen. It has started the process to operate out of the fairgrounds, he says. That is not how I understood what he told me during our previous interview. My apologies for the confusion.

Up until this point, a mobile breakfast burrito has meant a burrito in one hand, the steering wheel of the F150 in the other and a traffic ticket that usually comes shortly after the hot egg and cheese falls in my lap. But a Lawrence entrepreneur is giving the idea a new twist, and is using Douglas County government of all places to get it off the ground.

Nate Keller has started a new firm called Poor Boy Burrito Company, and it operates off of a basic premise: People’s days would start better with a breakfast burrito, but most folks don’t have the time to make one or even wait in line to buy one. So, Keller’s firm will deliver one to your office. People email, text or call in an order for a burrito.

“There are a lot of office workers who don’t have time to eat breakfast,” Keller said. “There are guys who are up early and are running out of the house, and by 8:30 or 9, they are hungry and we just deliver it to their desk.”

The business has been open about a month. Business has been strong, and Keller said he is close to launching a website that will allow people to order online.

“We think it basically will be taking the popularity of a food truck business to the online world,” Keller said.

A breakfast burrito is very food truck-like fare, but Poor Boy Burrito Company isn’t operating out of a truck. Rather, its home base is even more unique than that. The company operates out of a public kitchen in the Douglas County Fairgrounds. There is a commercial kitchen in Building 21 of the fairgrounds, and Keller said he pays rent to the county to use the space.

I don’t have all the details on that arrangement, but look for more in the future. I’ve heard bits and pieces about how the county has had an interest in using the commercial kitchen as a way to help local food-related businesses get off the ground. County reporter Elvyn Jones or I will get more info on that potential program, and report back.

As for the burritos, there are five kinds: Beef, pork, chicken, sausage or vegetarian. All the burritos also have an unexpected ingredient: Mashed potatoes.

“The mashed potatoes are a little bit of the secret,” Keller said.

The burritos sell for $4 each, and delivery time is usually about 15 to 20 minutes.

Keller said business is going so well that he expects he’ll soon need to find space outside the fairgrounds. He said the company, which includes one other employee, is planning to start a late-night service that will run from midnight to 3 a.m. You can get more information about the company or order by emailing poorboyburrito@gmail.com or calling 785-925-1935.

In other news and notes from around town:

• As we reported last week, sources told us a Zaxby’s chicken restaurant was slated for the Bauer Farm development near Sixth and Wakarusa. Well, our sources were correct. Zaxby’s has now confirmed it is opening a multitude of restaurants in the Kansas City area.

The area franchisee, Royal Chicken Holdings LLC, told The Kansas City Star that it plans a dozen Johnson County restaurants. It also confirmed it will open one at 4661 Bauer Farm drive in Lawrence, probably in November or December. The franchisee told The Star that he may open a couple more in Lawrence in the future.

As we told you last week, the restaurant chain is based in Athens, Ga., and has about 700 restaurants primarily in the southeast region of the U.S. As for the food, it looks like there is a strong emphasis on chicken fingers and chicken wings, with multiple dipping sauces.
