I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I mean the whole Food with Integrity marketing is health washing. Nothing wrong with GMOs. It's appeal to nature bullshit.
I used to go to Chipotle occasionally with a friend as our traditional lunch spot. I stopped going with the whole food illness scare -- didn't REALLY think I was likely to get sick, but whatever, just happened.
Finally maybe a month ago we went back. We got almost the same thing (I had lettuce and they didn't?) but I threw up like 4 times within an hour of eating it. Felt fine after.
It may be one hell of a coincidence, but I think I'm done with Chipotle. :/

The answer is obvious
no shit. DO IT CHIPOTLEEE
LOL
Okay, then how about actually putting quesadillas on the menu, and making them a central part of your ad campaign? Maybe come up with a couple inventive recipes and signature dishes.
Why bother brainstorming all these new dishes you can offer people, when there's stuff you can already make that people don't know about?

Last year they were only in two malls in Toronto, now they're plastered in plenty of areas in the GTA. I didn't like it personally, the food was cold, and they wouldn't heat it up when I asked. I'm not surprised there was E Coli in their food.
Quesadillas are fairly disruptive to their current setup, which I know because that's all I would ever order heh. I imagine that's why it isn't advertised.
I got some gnarly looking peices of chicken a few times so I stopped going, the ecoli business doesn't help either, but if they switched to white meat chicken I'd give it another shot.

I'd fuck with the chorizo if it's done right.

Man has there been any other restaurant in recent history that just went downhill as far as Chipotle did? Everyone was talking about Chipotle this and that like 6-7 years ago and now it's just....this.

you can't put a price on sparks
are they taking norovirus off the menu?
But wrong chorizo (unearthly crimson ground pork in spicy boiling oil, as opposed to sausage) is best chorizo.

They have 2 locations in Vancouver. A little bit pricey though.

Some queso. That fixes everything.

Ground beef is amazing though
Came here for this, didn't leave disappointed.
Also, I don't know why anyone would pay someone to make them a quesadilla, but maybe that's just me.

Yeah, quesadillas are weak sauce.
This is Chipotle. Be careful what you wish for.

So it's authentic Mexican food then.
I know people joke about Taco Bell and stomach probs but go to Mexico and eat at a taco stand or at a local food place, food market. if you haven't "acclimated" to the bacteria you're gonna have a bad time no lie, lived there for 5 years for middle/high school. First 3 months were stomach viruses/flu every weekend, but after that I could basically eat anything "contaminated" not sure if proud of myself tho :/
Completely okay with the risk. Chain restaurant food is too safe anyway.

For starters, get chicken out of your chorizo ... What the fuck.
Add al pastor too
Because they're at least trying to feign authenticity lol
What the hell is going on in this thread. Thank god I live in California

I was just about to post this. Been hearing on the radio that they got rid of Carnitas because the pork was not being properly raised.
Now they are bringing Chorizo to the menu. What gives?

They don't have this? This is a staple of anytime I go to a Mexican restaurant. Pour that shit over everything. Never eaten at Chipotles but I can't imagine it being better than any of the Mexican owned restaurants that litter the US. My hometown of around 4,000 people in TN has like 4-5 Mexican restaurants and they are all fantastic.
