Review: The Grand Opening of Chipotle
January 30th was a long time coming. When my roommate came home last fall to tell me that the new construction down the street was going to be a Chipotle restaurant, I thought he was trying to play World Knowledge Quest.
I simply could not believe that I would be that lucky. I have been eating at Chipotle habitually for the last 6-7 years of my life, and never have I lived this close to one of their establishments. But now I live 50 yards away from the most delicious Burritos ever created by the human race, and I intend to take full advantage of the situation.
Today, I was able to take advantage for the first time, and then the 2nd and the 3rd times. At the end of the day, I had stood in line for over an hour total in order to receive three free burritos. I would do it again. In fact I will do it again, as I will probably be eating there for dinner tomorrow night, and every other night until the plumbing at 12A Sutherland Road stands up and says “I’ve had enough” (for the record, this has already happened tonight and luckily I was not the culprit so I did not get stuck with the job of mopping up digested burrito off of the bathroom floor).
If you eat only one burrito this year*, make sure you get that burrito from Chipotle. In fact, if you eat only one burrito in your life, it should be a Chipotle burrito, and afterwards you should probably kill yourself because you will never experience a more delicious taste in your entire life. And while you’re killing yourself, the best way would probably be to order 5 more burritos of each variety, Vegetarian, Chicken, Barbacoa, Steak and Carnitas, and eat them in succession until your stomach explodes. That is certainly how I would like to go. But not yet; no, not yet. I have a lot of burritos left to eat in this life.
*If you go to one free burrito day this year make sure it is Chipotle. Q'doba had a free burrito day last year and participants said they could barely suffer through two burritos and would never return to eat at the establishment again.
