    I never understood why chipotle was so popular. And then continued to be after their… What? Half dozen incidents of them spreading diseases around the country…

      The food is actually good. The disease issue was lack of local food inspections. My problem with them is you get 25% less if you order online versus in person, so I stopped.

        The food is… fine, but overpriced. When it wasn’t diseased, at least.

        Thru were doing things unsafely. You can put the blame on the people doing the unsafe things and not that no one has caught them on it.

      The people on the east coast have no idea what burritos are supposed to be. If they knew, Chipotle wouldn’t have gotten as far as it has.

        Chipotle started in Colorado, based on the founder’s visits to restaurants in San Francisco. It’s now headquartered in California

        What does Chipotle have to do with the East coast?

          It has nothing to do with the east coast, other than someone being willfully ignorant of differences in taste and opinion, therefore blaming it in regionality and ignorance of what a “real burrito” is. Someone disagrees on a subjective topic so obviously they are wrong.
