I've never been to a Chipotle because the one that opened in my old nabe years ago (Hell's Kitchen) smelled so wrong every time I walked by. I just noticed a week or so ago that they're following me and are opening in my new nabe across town. I was sad when I saw the sign. I now know that I'm correct to be sad that another one of these places is being foisted upon us...

Oh god... It's so sad that so many people in NYC give these chains enough money to thrive here, when the mom and pops that sell actually edible food go under.

Your experience at Chipotle matches What I have always thought about Chipotle - I would much rather go to Taco Bell and get a simple crispy taco (or two) with that yummy fire sauce! 🌮❤️

I’ve never understood the appeal of Chipotle, so this result isn’t surprising. But, I was taken aback by how much I liked the Starbucks banana protein foam on a cup of plain old coffee.
