Chipotle sucks.

tbf chipotle's own scare ads about SILICON DIOXIDE added to food are as bad.

ignorance of target audience a double edged sword for chipotle, republicans, etc.

I still like their burritos but am becoming increasingly wary

I definitely plan to go back to eating chipotle but not until they straighten this out.

The precise thing which causes outbreaks like this to occur on the scale they do is centralization of processing. Chipotle's response has been to increasingly centralize processing, as if implying that unsafe food handling at local stores was the problem here (which it wasn't). This will just keep happening.

for an 'all-employee meeting'

this is gonna be the biggest webinar ever

3 hours of "wash your hands after you shit, you savages"

I actually walked by the local Chipotle yesterday, completely empty except for seven employees goofing off and eating. Eating Chipotle.

I ate Chipotle yesterday, thinking I could get back to the good old times. It sucked.

I ate it like a week ago, figuring at the moment it had to probably be safe considering all the pressure on them. It actually tasted a little bit different - saltier and the flavor wasn't as good, and I wondered if that was a result of a safety change or just my perception.

My tortilla was stale and the meat was really chewy.

Guess you've never experienced the flavor of salmonella before?

closing for a day doesn't actually accomplish anything than making headlines right

This time the taste is strange
Ch-chipotle

I just like the bright overhead lights that let me read a damn newspaper with my lunch.

lol how's life

thyme may change meat

wow

Ch-Ch-Chipotle
Don't wanna be a diarrhea man

haven't eaten at the ol' chipottel for a while. all the bacteria issues were regional, weren't they? prob safe, should go have a 'rito

the meat supply, man, it's all interconnected

they were regional in multiple regions is what concerns me. Honestly that still seems odd to me -- Boston, Minnesota, So Cal, I assume these places aren't all sharing one distribution center.

Nine diff states apparently.

fields of salmon's post above seems to elucidate the situation.

minnesota's a little too close for comfort

can e. coli be killed by one of their delicious margaritas?

God, fuck this metropolitan area where I can't get booze at Chipotle.

i love the backlash to the backlash of people being all MAN UP IT'S JUST FOOD POISONING NOM NOM NOM

kudos to all Ch-chipotle participants above

I haven't been to Chipotle in ages but i'm kinda surprised the food's gone noticeably downhill; I've always kinda loved it for what it was tbh (a giant piece of carb with tasty and inoffensive rice/meat/cheese/salsa inside)

Until they fix things, just go to Mod Pizza, the pizza version of Chipotle!

I ate at Chipotle today. It tasted fine to me. I figure it's probably safer to eat there now than most places, while they're fixated on food safety issues.

Suicide by burrito

Guacamol' suicide

Nice.

last night sofritas saved my life

i do find it funny tho how the general public waits for a major issue to be found before they start avoiding specific fast food joints. it isn't as if the issues only begin when someone begins shitting like death. this wasn't a location handling issue as stated above but if the laymen knew how most fast food places prepped food or the questionable places they got meat from you'd probably have a Pavlovian vomit reaction upon even thinking about one.

feel like many people have worked in fast food. I worked at Dairy Queen, and stuff was clean.

well consider yourself lucky then. it isn't just fast food joints. those Bar Rescue "omg disgusting" exposes may be theatrical but we had serious cleanliness issues like that at Chevy's Fresh Mex and usually got fined during every inspection. and also had a rat problem in the building. that sometimes made itself known to customers.

lol I have only been to a couple Chevys locations but are they fast casual now? Last I saw, they were Chi-Chi's 2.0

tbh my home prep environment is no better but it only has one individual with questionable hygiene and the supply chain is much harder to pin down

not to mention, as an avid Bar Rescue viewer, the problem there is not food poisoning! people could get sick but seldom do, small miracle

I don't think prep is any more likely to be unhygienic at "fast food" restaurants than at some mom-and-pop, maybe even less so since you hypothetically have corporate-wide policies and procedures in place. Anecdotally, usually when people get food poisoning it's from a small restaurant, not McDonald's

it's hit a few regions in turn but the possibility is that, by trusting mid-sized organic operations, chipotle is ending up with tainted materials at their distribution hubs

For every underpaid angry mentally-unstable Tyson employee smacking a chicken into the wall, there is a well-sanitized cutting and rendering assembly line that might not be there for chipotle

I got pretty bad food poisoning from Burger King once, but it was a one-off next to the interstate.

The last time I ate at McDonald's was ~25 years ago; I was halfway through my Big Mac when I became violently ill. I ran outside and threw up in the gutter - right in front of the place's huge picture window, in full view of all the other customers.

you are a slow eater or that Big Mac was fine

or maybe that big mac specifically was poisoned. I don't know. That just doesn't sound like a typical case of food poisoning.

Sounds like sensitive tastebuds encountering the gray-brown patties they call meat there

i've never had food poisoning

most fast food places i've been to have been clean

it was the mac sauce, top man, it was the mac sauce!
