There was a really good local burrito place where I went to college. They would take all the meat and veggies you wanted in your burrito and toss them on the grill before wrapping them up. They had a few signature sauces that were spicy, amazing and won a lot of awards....but alas, since it was a small business with one owner, it didn't last.It's not an AT specific hate, there's just a couple very vocal haters here. Just like how vegetarians will let you know they're vegetarians... chipotle haters always seem to have to work how much they hate chipotle when they can. Just like this one, and I wasn't at all surprised who said they hated chipotle first.
You're wrong. Well, sort of. I thought I didn't like cheesecake either, but their variations are amazing. They also have amazing non-cheesecake cake. Food's pretty good too. Fried mac&cheese balls are awesome.Not a big cheesecake fan so can't judge their quality there.
They have some shrimp sandwich that comes in at almost 2700 mg sodium.
ill never understand the Chipolte hate on here.
There's an inverse proportionality between hot waitresses and food quality. The hotter the waitresses the worse the food.
Because Chipotle sucks. Fast food Mexican should be fast, spicy and cheap. Chiptole isn't any of those things, it's rice and beans with delusions of grandeur.
So? Single package of instant ramen noodle like Shin Ramyun has over 2300 mg sodium. And many people eat two packs at a time. How often are you eating the shrimp sandwich? Millions of asians eat instant ramen almost everyday with no ill effect.
My guess is that people are generally easily impressed.I think in general I am flummoxed by the popularity of pretty must most large sit-down chain restaurants out there. They generally all suck.
Because it just doesn't taste good. I'd love take it if it was even more expensive but actually good. Everything they have is very bland which is why you never see Chipotle in the the 'hood near real Mexican places. It's always in nicer areas with people that like bland foods.ill never understand the Chipolte hate on here.
I think in general I am flummoxed by the popularity of pretty must most large sit-down chain restaurants out there. They generally all suck. There is a tipping point at where you have too many restaurants and have to sacrifice quality for consistency, and then you fuck it all up. It's probably easier in fast casual places. I mean shake shack has it down pat and they have a number of locations. I like Jersey Mike's subs also, but have only been to three of their joints. Even though Shake Shack is better, I always had a good experience at an In n Out when I traveled to the west coast.
Once in a while I guess you may crave crap. I still have a soft spot in my heart every few months for a few soft taco supremes at Taco Bell. But around me to go to a sit down restaurant there are too many other options than to go to a TGIF, Olive Garden, Cheesecake Factory, Outback, Red Lobster or what have you. I haven't been to one of those in many many years, except once or twice when a date out in the burbs requested we meet at one of those places. For drinks, not dinner.
Eh, not really. Have you ever heard of TOFI? It means Thin-on-the-Outside, Fat-on-the-Inside. Basically describes one of our more unheralded world health crises of diets that tend to render the consumer just as unhealthy as a visibly overweight diabetic.
Granted, This probably isn't about salt, but I've read that typical Asian diets that are overloaded with empty and useless rice and noodles (starchy sugars) in nearly every meal, multiple times per day, tends to claim an unbalanced share of TOFI victims.

Well, here's the thing:
--dependability from faceless mall to faceless mall when traveling
--family
We have a very popular model in this country when it comes to dining and shopping: we want the exact same experience in city x that we had in city c. No matter how much we claim otherwise, we like to know what we are getting into when visiting new and strange places. There is much to be said about trying new and unusual things, but there is also risk involved of having a terrible experience. If you ate at Cheesecake Factory in your hometown of St Paul a few times and deemed it, at least, satisfactory, then there is a high chance that, when traveling to some other town over a weekend and confronted with unknown choices and cheesecake factory, you will probably choose Cheesecake Factory, because you at least know that you won't be disappointed. This is why all of our stores and restaurants are the same. We like to feel that we are somewhere else, even when we aren't.
Also, all of these places are generally family friendly as they tolerate such diners, and have kid-friendly options on their menus. When you have kids in tow, that prefer bland and boring crap, and can typically be loud and obnoxious, you gravitate towards such places that will make the experience the most tolerable for you. Small cafe or fancy restaurants generally aren't family friendly.
