Anyone here eat at Chipotle in the past couple of days and are you okay?

[TastesLikeChicken]

Ate at Chipotle once @ 7 years ago.

That was enough.

 

[Ichinisan]

Still fine. Still delicious.

 

[Brainonska511]

Nope, but I'm not eating there because of their food safety issues. I don't eat there because a) the food isn't that good, and b) I don't want to support an organization that is feeding off of people's ignorance and fear with respect to biotechnology.

I wish more people thought like this.









It would make the line shorter for me when I need my burrito fix.

Yet, they'll still be selling sodas made with HFCS, cheese that is made using GE renet, and their sunflower oil is likely derived from BASF's Cleafield line or DuPont's ExpressSun, both of which are "non-GMO" herbicide resistant lineups sold by two of the world's largest chemical companies. A rather odd switch to make, if one of their concerns was herbicide usage and superweeds .

9 Disappointing Facts about Chipotle.

My wife really likes their burrito bowls for a quickie meal, I find their food quite shitty (no pun intended).

But I'm sure it's affecting their brand reputation because she won't eat there since this fiasco started, thank god. So please don't resolve the problem!

 

[keird]

Meh. I made a meal of enchiladas yesterday morning and my wife just popped them in the oven for 20 minutes. Messy to make but easy to eat. I even dropped the onions on the floor, rinsed them off and put them in. A few surprise crunches but no health issues.

We was discussing it and my wife likes crock pot meals because she comes home and serves a meal.

Our go-to recipe is Beef with Broccoli. I need a better wok.

Eating out is a luxury we can't afford. We might get out once every couple of months.

Much of their food is outsourced. It's not even prepared at their stores.

"Chipotle’s website says its “fresh cooking” is done “using classic culinary techniques — no shortcuts.” But Chipotle doesn’t do all of its own cooking: Two outside processing companies in Chicago, OSI and Miniat Holdings, braise the carnitas and barbacoa, trim the steaks, cook the beans, and make the bases for the restaurant’s green and red tomatillo salsas, all according to Chipotle’s specifications. (Everything else, said Chris Arnold, Chipotle’s communications director, “is made entirely in the restaurants.&#8221 OSI, a global meat processing corporation with facilities in 17 countries, also supplies McDonald’s with its burgers, nuggets, and other “value-added protein items” on its menu."

9 Disappointing Facts about Chipotle.

http://certifiedhumane.org/9-disappointing-facts-chipotle/

There was nothing wrong with using GMO foods. I don't know why these groups are getting on board the organic/sustainability food movement which has utterly rejected their use, despite the fact that GMO products can reduce pesticide use substantially and increase yields. That sounds awfully sustainable to me. It's just another tool in the box for being able to feed more than 7 billion people.

Maybe that's true. But biotechnology and scientific literacy is something I do care about. I take great umbrage at the amount of misinformation flying around about this topic and Chipotle is just adding to the noise and ignorance.

It's still my goto lunch spot. I'm on a schedule and being able to order in advance and pick it up trumps all other fast food. Let's be honest, it is fast food.

I really dislike how Chipotle does their online ordering. Every time I go in the online orders people have their own line which is fine. Except they dont make the foood until these people show up. And they take precedent over those standing in line. I cant tell you how many times the line gets completely hung up on somebody who ordered online for 10 people. I have stopped going to Chipotle because of it. But then my wife wanted it Sat night. So at 8 PM I hit Chipotle. The line is nearly to the door. Slowly moving through and we come to a complete stop. Two online orders showed up. Time to stop the entire line to fill these orders. I should have taken a picture. A line out the door now because for 10 mins they filled these two orders. And nobody in line were past the tortilla station. Totally emtpy at the meat, salsa stations ect. We peasants standing in line made jokes we should order online and get our food.

So it only reinforced my stance of no more chipotle.

If so, then why is locally sourced, non-GMO ingredients central to their marketing? "Food with Integrity" is their tag line https://www.chipotle.com/food-with-integrity

If Chipotle spent as much time focusing on food safety procedures as they do on sourcing local and non-gmo ingredients, they wouldn't be having so many outbreaks. AND they would be able to identify the ingredients causing their illnesses. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles...s-safety-the-tradeoff-to-locally-sourced-food

I've had too many chipotle inspired diarrhea sessions and read too many stories about their incompetence at food safety to ever go back again. Sucks, though, because I love the chipotle experience at the input stage

Chipotle is the favorite fast food place for dumb fuck white ladies who only eat organic food and don't vaccinate their kids because of "big pharma" and monsanto.

No...and it's never been good to eat at Chipotle. Their food sucks.

Want Mexican food? Go to a real Mexican restaurant.

You mean a real Mexican restaurant where they have rice, chicken, pico, guac, lettuce, tomatoes, corn salsa....oh, wait, so does Chipotle.

It's central to their marketing because the media has created this non-gmo cult and Chipotle has bought into it. I'll bet if you polled Chipotle customers, 99% wouldn't give a damn about gmo/non-gmo. I know I don't.

I don't think the media created a nonGMO cult; they merely gave it a platform so that the cult could espouse their ignorant fairytales about food. Though, there are some editorial boards (like the NYT as of late) and consumer organizations (like Consumer's Union) who have bought into the cult wholesale.

I guess you don't read any of their promotional materials, or the descriptions of their food on their big signs. That shit is plastered all over the locations I've been to in the last few years.

Everything isn't some "media" conspiracy. Chipotle made the decision to brand itself as a "clean" (no preservative, "naturally raised," non-gmo) food fast casual restaurant to go after the high income, semi educated demographic that loves "organic" food and hates GMOs because they read some stupid conspiracy theory website/book. The only "media" that bears any responsibility are fringe organic, "clean" eating websites and books. The people who lap this shit up believe that mainstream media is in the hands of monsanto. Mainstream media outlets only report on the GMO controversy and usually interview at least one food scientist who says "these antigmo people are stupid cranks who know nothing about chemistry, biology, horticulture, or nutrition."

And, if 99% of their customers didn't give a damn, then spending millions and millions of dollars on marketing and setting up an inefficient, expensive supply chain was a huge waste of money.

"Clean" food isn't. It's far more likely to have harmful micro organisms than processed food. Chipotle decided to court the fringe, antiscience crowd and is experiencing the consequences.

Taco Bell does too.

 

[Poulsonator]

I never get that, I put my order in about an hour before lunch. I show up, walk up grab it and walk out. It's always ready and in the warmer.

Yep. We eat there every Wednesday for lunch. Order online, pick up at 1230 during the middle of the lunch rush. Walk in, walk right back out with our food. It's awesome.

And I get a ton of food for $6.96. Honestly it's probably the best deal around for fast food, and I'm full most of the day.
