I am pretty disappointed in you Nasser for not creating this thread.

I decided that I would go to Chipotle for lunch today. I decided to walk the 1/4 of a mile from my work to get there for the exercise. (and my car is in the shop)

I was starving. Being the cheap bastard that I am, I decided that I was only going to have a burrito, but I knew that their regular burrito would not be enough to squash my appetite.

I inform the first worker in the Chipotle assembly line that I wanted a chicken burrito. Before she could ask me what type of beans that I wanted, I blurted out, "extra rice, please." Next comes the black beans, to which I also added, "extra beans, please."

Here comes the chicken, and you guessed it "extra chicken, please." I make eye contact with the second assembly line worker as she wondered how a 165lb guy could eat this burrito. You throw in mild and hot salsa to the burrito and the extra cheese and you have a mound of a burrito.

Bless the heart of the little girl who was assigned to wrap up my burrito. It was just too full for any one person to adquately roll. The tortilla starts to fall apart, and the girl looked behind her for reinforcements. The girl's supervisor comes over, grabs another torilla and somehow manages to roll the burrito. Everyone behind the counter stopped what they were doing, so they could watch.

I basically get two burritos showed into one big one, and I do this to save money, because again. I am a cheap.

When I walked into work, I decided to put my burrito on the scale that we use to measure our mail packages. My burrito weighted 1.7 pounds. It had to be well over 2000 calories as well. I must say that the last few bites were pretty hard to swallow, but I finished it nonetheless.

Thank goodness I will not need to eat for the rest of the day.

Just the rest of the day? LOL.

They don't charge you more when you ask for extra?!

Yes, they charge an extra $1.50 for the extra meat. The rice, beans and cheese were free (not sure about the cheese, but they didn't charge me for it)

The best $7.21 I have spent on a meal. (well two as I will most likely skip dinner)

My buddy Matt and I joke that a few hours after eating Chipotle, if you had an z-ray, your stomach would contain something shaped like the well-formed mass you see on the billboard.

Wait till your stomach starts making that gurgling sound and you'll run a 4.2 flat to the rest room.

Nope. Its their runny sour cream that puts you in the crapper. Thank heaven I don't eat that junk.

:biglaugh:Thank you for starting this. Hopefully I'll be able to go there again soon. I don't remember what it was called, but I get the burrito with the peppers, maybe that was the fajita one??? with steak and I ask for everything that they have to be put on it, I probably couldn't eat a 1.7 lb. burrito like that though.

Getting the double tortilla at Chipotle is like getting the double bowl at YC's - its a form of art.

I feel like the carnitas burrito is vastly underrated there. I myself was a chicken and beef guy for years ( I lived in Denver where Chipotle started) and then moved to the barbacoa (I wish it was real barbacoa which is usually goat) and then one day upoon reading about Chipotle using exclusively niman ranch pork (pig is my favorite of all time) I ordered one and i LOVE IT. Man, I have a real weak spot for Chipotle... Great story, by the way. 1.7 lbs. Awesome.

I'm not a big pork guy even though I like some pig once in a while...I'm thinking about getting the barbacoa the next time I go, but I just don't want to change something when the steak is just so good... Barbacoa is spicy though isn't it? I like spicy food.

Nasser, I saw a picture of you on the cover of Phoenix Magazine. That was pretty cool. Is that your car?

I'll have to try that next time I go.

Where is the original location in Denver? I think I will make a trek to it next time I am up there. I could even take some pics for Nasser. ;)
