DailyDirt: Eating At Chipotle
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Some people really like eating at Chipotle. It's supposed to be healthy (although it really depends on what you order). The ingredients are often (but not always) from sustainable sources, and customers enjoy their meals. A few really fanatical eaters have devised some bizarre eating games with Chipotle food. Almost every fast food restaurant has a "secret menu" of some kind nowadays, but if you really like Chipotle, here are some extreme eaters who have documented their Chipotle purchases.- Andrew Hawryluk gave up NOT going to Chipotle for Lent, and he called his strange non-abstinence "Chipotlent" and blogged about it. Since February 18, 2015, this 23yo animator from Los Angeles has been eating at Chipotle at least once a day... for over 6 months now. He's been compared to Jared who once represented Subway, but maybe that's not such a favorable comparison now. [url]
- It's one thing to order a meal at Chipotle every day, but it's another process entirely to try to maximize the weight of your food. If you want to do it, though, you can apparently get 86% more food (by weight) than just ordering like a normal person. [url]
- The 'Chipotle Quesarito' is a secret menu hack that uses a cheese quesadilla to wrap your burrito, instead of just a plain tortilla. Recently, however, Chipotle has started charging $3.50 extra for this "have it your way" hack, but it's still a popular order. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: sponsored content?
I'm actually all for sponsored content when done right, but part of being done right is full transparency. But, this is not sponsored content. Just usual Daily Dirt fare.

86%!? Wow, that's great the only problem is...

Don't get it.
After the Scarecrow campaign, I looked up how much of Chipotle food was really from organic and free-range sources and found that there were an awful lot of exceptions where they couldn't find an organic or free-range provider. It seemed Chipotle wasn't trying as hard as the Scarecrow campaign implied.
The couple of times I've eaten there, the food was bland but palatable. It was also expensive for a buritto in San Francisco (which are, in turn, more expensive than burittos in Oakland).
So.... meh.
