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.

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.
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Friday, 15 January 2016 19:45 (eight years ago) link
feel like many people have worked in fast food. I worked at Dairy Queen, and stuff was clean.
― I expel a minor traveler's flatulence (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 15 January 2016 19:46 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Friday, 15 January 2016 19:48 (eight years ago) link
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
― μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 15 January 2016 20:42 (eight years ago) link
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
― μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 15 January 2016 20:44 (eight years ago) link
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
― μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 15 January 2016 20:45 (eight years ago) link
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.
― μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 15 January 2016 20:51 (eight years ago) link
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
― I expel a minor traveler's flatulence (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 15 January 2016 23:20 (eight years ago) link
or maybe that big mac specifically was poisoned. I don't know. That just doesn't sound like a typical case of food poisoning.

Whatever it was, I've never been back. Total aversion therapy success story. (Though I do eat Wendy's and White Castle about 2-3 times a year each.)

Gotta say, when Starbucks closed all its stores for a day for a Come to Jesus reboot, the back to basics turnaround proved massively successful. But then, Starbucks was not dealing with a food poisoning crisis.

I've eaten at Chipotle 2 or 3 times, generous portions of fairly crappy food. Their popularity in austin mystified me as there are so many ways to get superior tacos here. I wasn't particularly impressed by their "brave" stand on food sourcing and am not at all surprised to see it all turn to shit (literally). If this is the end, I will not miss them.

idk, I'm actually a little disappointed -- they're never my first choice when there are options around, but it's really good to have a Chipotle in a pinch, like I was really happy to see it last time I was in an airport, and it stays open late near my office when I'm working late and most good options are closed.

Sort of what Starbucks is to coffee imo -- not amazing but raised the game for areas that didn't have much to offer before.

they're cooking them before shipping and then grilling them again in the store. tasted like bland overcooked meat! they might be ditching the changes though apparently

theres like dozens of solid local burrito places in boston and yet all the college kids from out of town just go to chipotle since it's what they know, it makes me sad

There are not dozens of solid burrito places in NYC though, at least not in my part of midtown.

it's pretty amazing how the Fast Casual Burrito has taken off in my lifetime though, when i was in high school my friends and i used to drive all the way into the city to eat at one of said places since the literal only option in the suburbs was taco bell
now there's a chipotle or qdoba or boloco in every shopping plaza, none of these existed until 10-12 years ago

e.coli problem solved? Most recent e.coli outbreaks have been transmitted via raw vegetables. If it comes from meat, it'll come on ground beef, which Chipotle doesn't serve.

I do admire how if you get lettuce on a burrito you are committing to eating it all in one sitting because there's no way that you can enjoy at a later date
