Katie Couric brings burritos to Bowery Mission

The homeless and hungry men at the Bowery Mission had a special treat on Wednesday night when salsa angel Katie Couric arrived to throw them a burrito party.

The talk-show queen told me how the Chipotle Mexican food chain randomly offered her a card for free meals for a year — “or I could throw a burrito party.”

“There’s probably not enough antacid in the world . . . not unless I could get free Tums for a year,” Couric said. “Worried about acid reflux, I opted for a burrito party at the Bowery Mission” — where Couric and her daughters regularly volunteer, helping director Ed Morgan and his staff.
