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.

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
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 03:09 (eight years ago) link
There are not dozens of solid burrito places in NYC though, at least not in my part of midtown.
― human life won't become a cat (man alive), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 03:14 (eight years ago) link
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
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 03:15 (eight years ago) link
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.

we have tres carnes now, it's like fancy chipotle but worse somehow

i meant more the problem of their meat tasting shitty, and also ppl should stop eating vegetables at chipotle

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

i'll never understand why chipotle is always prone to angry foodie policing or whatever it is, people like(d) it but no one talks about it like it isn't just a half a step above fast food. it's cheap and massive and quick and easy and it tastes good enough for me to occasionally have cravings for it. an $8 burrito is enough to keep me fed for a day and actually satisfied.
i wish the situation was different but i don't have the money or usually the time to partake in the authenticish mexican restaurants that have survived late capitalism. or the food trucks that close down before i get home from work. in the meantime i will continue to be enthusiastic over my delicious mass produced garbage pouch, at least once they go back to cooking their steak the appropriate number of times

does chipoltle forego lard? maybe that's their problem.

they do bc lard is from animals and they are now a raw vegan burrito place thanks to me

― 龜, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 11:09 (eight years ago) link
my boss reps dos toros but when i tried to go there was a line of startup dudes out the door. so i went to "desi shack," the kati roll fast casual place next door, which looked, felt and tasted exactly like a nyu business student's undergrad thesis.
so that's another non chipotle option for custom constructed food cylinders
― adam, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 11:16 (eight years ago) link
i hope chipotle goes out of business
― 龜, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 11:22 (eight years ago) link
according to their store locator there are now 19 chipotles within a one mile radius of my office, that is a lot of chipotles!
― adam, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 11:28 (eight years ago) link
interesting i thought desi shack would have been more than a kati roll clone (there's already a kati roll clone right across the street from the original kati roll!)

people act like there aren't shitty taquerias! there are tons of shitty taquerias. at least in places where there are lots of taquerias.
there is a place around these parts that basically took the chipotle model wholesale and applies it to falafel. you can get a sandwich (pita) or a bowl. pick yer sauce, pick yer toppings, pick your slick shiny decor. very smart business plan, actually, as it's bringing the college kids in droves.
