Chipotle is so-so to me, they put too much salt into their foods, so after a while of not eating it, the salt is really noticeable.
When I do go, I always skip the tortilla (way too many carbs) so it's Bowl: brown rice fajita veggies chicken/steak tomatoes corn cheese guac lettuce I live and work right next to a Chipotle, walk by it everyday, haven't really had the desire to go there in a long time... |
It's been a year or so, but I also get a bowl:
regular rice (extra rice) fajita veggies chicken pico corn mild salsa cheese I found that extra rice is a way to get a bit more meat. When the second person places the meat portion into the bowl, it looks way underwhelming in terms of proportion. They tend to subconsciously grab a lil' bit more meat; I like to think it's out of sympathy. I honestly just like rice. |
Carnitas is back at my local Chipotle here in Durham. Though the signs they have posted on the door and at the counter say they don't meet all hormone standards.

I stopped eating Chipotle when they jumped on the anti-science GMO-free bandwagon. So I was spared the E.coli.
I admit I'm feeling a bit of schadenfreude right now. |
After painfully hearing Steve Ells on the Today Show with his "um/uh/ya knows", he needs to fire his communications staff for the very poor preparation in trying to discuss his company's problems.

Chipotle to close all restauarants on February 8 (temporarily)
Every Chipotle restaurant will close for several hours on February 8 so that the company can hold an unprecedented all-hands meeting to discuss issues related to the chain's food safety crisis. Multiple outbreaks of food contamination of varying levels of severity have pummeled the chain in recent months. Sales have been plummeting as the chain, which used to market itself to health-conscious consumers with bogus arguments about the virtues of avoiding GMO foods, is learning that local and organic produce is actually harder to manage safely than conventional food. A recent Bloomberg cover story makes clear that to an extent, Chipotle has been a victim of its own success. The chain has been wildly popular for years, and has been opening stores — and hiring staff — at a rapid pace. This large-scale hiring combined with an obsessive focus on serving customers at a more rapid clip seems to have made it challenging to maintain best practices on a staffing level. At the same time, relentless expansion of the Chipotle supply chain has made it harder and harder to track the sources of contamination. |

Chipotle should serve as a cautionary tale to the "all-natural" crowd.
I wonder whether their management will own up to the fact that their purchasing policy likely has a lot to do with their bacteria problems. |

They need to do something drastic ,
Ghostbuster style , close all of them for 24 hours , clean everything with clean room white suit crew from a company that cleans hospitals , then 12 hours of fumigation, throw ALL food away , put in ultrasonic cleaners to clean plates , knives forks spoons etc, on and on..... then the top Execs will only eat at Chipote for 1 month , OK....its never going to happen , but since they have no idea where the problem lies they need to start at Square 1 |
I had my first Chipotle experience recently in DC. Wasn't that hopeful after a certain South Park episode featured it but was pleasantly surprised, very fresh and enjoyable.
There's one in London now and well, I'm sure you can guess, the same meal was about 1/4 the size of the one I got in the US :D |

Baker Street? I've been by there about a million times while hungry, but just can't bring myself to go in.
