Mara Wilson, the little girl from Mrs. Doubtfire, Matilda, and Miracle on 34th Street, is all grown up. But what's she been up to? Writing articles, plays, and books - including her new memoir Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame - and dreaming of her last meal: A San Francisco Mission Style Burrito

Host Rachel Belle consults author, ¡Ask a Mexican! columnist and burrito authority Gustavo Arellano, and FiveThirtyEight.com writer and ultimate burrito bracketeer, Anna Maria Barry-Jester, to find out everything she can about her and Mara's favorite food.

Original music by Prom Queen.
