/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Nothing, anymore. Shit sucks now. Tasted like water.

>>5563198

what the fuck kind of water are you drinking mr. unnecessary hyperbole?

>>5563202

Either the marinade they use has changed, or the meat itself has changed. It has a very, very bland flavor now, and since it's been sitting in water, it TASTES LIKE FUCKING WATER. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO DO ABOUT IT? GRAB MY THROAT AND ASK ME TO FUCK OFF?

>>5563208
whoa settle down buddy. sounds like you just have a bad chipotle.

>>5563208

wow nice mad caps mr. unncessary hyperbole

ok

get steak next time OP.
so much better than the chicken.

>>5563283
You're injecting Chipotle's name into the collective consciousness of /ck/. Half of marketing is making sure that people are aware of your brand and think/talk about it regularly.

>>5563289
when my fridge went out I ate out alot and finally went to Chipotle and other places because I kept seeing it on here and was curious.

it was not good.

>taco bell threads day after day are completely tolerated
>people shitting on chipotle

i knew this board was shit

>>5563289

Yes, but how does that make it "viral" marketing? Normal marketing, sure. Maybe. But I don't see how it's viral.

All chipotle posts on 4chan are viral

I get burrito with steak, black beans, white rice, the corn salsa, cheese, and lettuce. It's always awesome.

>>5563313
The difference is that everyone knows that Taco Bell is complete trash.

Shitpolte attempts to tout itself as high end, when it's worse than pretty much any mexican-run taco shop. Also we've had a troll or legitimate shill who would post the same text and image of chipolte every day for months.

I.... I like Chipotle ._. I think its tasty

Sorry

>>5563385
>Taco Bell is better because it is shit and we know it is shit and love eating shit
Uh, okay?

>>5563385
Kills the Mexican restaurants too. A chipotle opened up down the street from a famous local Mexican place and within a year it was driven out of business.

>>5563426

He didn't say taco bell was better.
He said that people TALKING about taco bell is better, since there's no pretense of quality.

Just get a burrito bowl. Way more bang for your buck than forcing them to cram whatever they can into a tortilla.

>>5563385
This.

Both are pretend Mexican food. One deosn't care whether you think it's trash, the other spends lots of money on feel good campaigns to try to convince you it isn't. But it is.

I guess Chipotle is perfect for people who want to eat fast food, but convince themselves the fast food they're eating is somehow a little bit better than other fast food, and are willing to pay for that privilege.

But to me it looks like a case of lowered expectations. What you're paying for is hope in your fake Mexican food. Because I sure as fuck can't think of any reason to pay $8 for a seriously mediocre giant burrito, unless you're some office drone who doesn't give a fuck, and just wants to get back to work.

>>5563445
>talking about Jersey Shore is better than talking about something with a "pretense of quality"

Get over yourself.

>>5563460
>One deosn't care whether you think it's trash, the other spends lots of money on feel good campaigns to try to convince you it isn't.
Sorry bro, Live Mas is spending lots and lots of money on marketing and it is trying to get the retarded fatties and the fast foodies both.

Why do you think Chipotle is trash? What specifically is your issue? The lack of meat paste and cheese analog?

>>5563460
>$8
Is this a lot for you? Especially when you get a 1 lb burrito that should be too large for a meal unless you are a land whale.

>>5563385

Not only this, but it is a big player perpetuating the myth that GMO food is bad for you, and that organic food drowned in a barrage of ineffective pesticides that doesn't taste any bit better or have any better nutritive qualities is the answer. They cater to an audience that operates solely on feelings and axiomatic pet notions never subjected to any kind of verification.

Short story: it's a scam.

>>5563134
Over rated and over priced. IT's not bad, it's just too much for what it costs when there are Mom n Pop mexican shops that have better food for less

>>5563477
>the myth that GMO food is bad for you
GMO foods are not good for the environment, are unnecessary, and recent research is starting to uncover interesting areas in which glyphosate residues can have a negative impact on animal health.

>>5563134
>What does /ck/ normally order at chipotle?
Directions to a real restaurant.

>>5563475
So... you're a little girl who likes to waste money? Gotit.

>>5563477

I couldn't give a crap about the supposed environmental issues. However, I am very happy to have a chain restaurant that actually prepares their food in-house and fresh, rather than frozen or bagged crap that they reheat.

>>5563494
I am 6' 180 lbs and could probably throw you across the room. I actually have a good paying job so an $8 lunch isn't "wasting money" lol

Am I only person that gets barbacoa and the peppers and onions? :(

>>5563477
>They cater to an audience that operates solely on feelings and axiomatic pet notions never subjected to any kind of verification.
>Short story: it's a scam.
So... you are talking about virtually all businesses with large marketing campaigns?

I live in Canada and there are no Chipotles in my city. I've been there before and it was good, but there are lots of Chipotle-like restaurants or clones that are pretty much identical.

I'm not sure why people are so upset at the popularity. It must be the whole "reverse contrarian square-hipster" phenomenon, where people who claim to hate hipsters and take pride in their mainstream appeal invariably rail against things that have new-found popularity (sriracha, Chipotle).

It's like conservative hipsterism: embrace and defend the shitty old things like Taco Bell and hate anything that is new because other people like it and this somehow threatens you

>>5563473
>What specifically is your issue?
Aside from the boring, flavorless giant burritos? Maybe the lipservice they give to "local", "organic", "non-GMO" and "grass fed" when frequently few if any such items are represented in their stores. It's a bait and switch. They talk up all the things concerned white people would like to see in their fake Mexican food, then just sell them slightly better looking versions of the same shit every other fast food joint sells.

>>5563475
>you get a 1 lb burrito that should be too large for a meal unless you are a land whale.
I can never think of a situation where I want a 1lb burrito. Why would I go pay $8 for a really large portion of something that isn't very good? On the rare occasions I'm going to eat fast food I've accepted it won't be good. I'd rather pay as little as possible for food that isn't good, and I sure as fuck to need leftovers.

>>5563529
>when frequently few if any such items are represented in their stores.
What evidence did you see of this?

>>5563529
>On the rare occasions I'm going to eat fast food I've accepted it won't be good.
You sound like a fatass who is the perfect consumer for Taco Bell. Maybe one day they'll have TB Bulk and you can plunge a scoop into a container of gorditas and buy it by the lb you fat fucking greaseball lol.

>>5563538
>You sound like a fatass who is the perfect consumer for Taco Bell.
You sound like someone claiming there's a substantial difference between Chipotle and Taco Bell.

>>5563548

Last I saw Taco Bell never actually cooked anything in their restaurant. Just re-heat and deep fry.

Chipotle might not be great, but at least they prepare everything fresh rather than reheat shit out of a factory.

>>5563548
>You sound like someone claiming there's a substantial difference between Chipotle and Taco Bell.
There is a huge difference. Does Taco Bell use ethically raised meat? Does Taco Bell use locally sourced produce year-round? Does Taco Bell use mostly non-GMO products? Chipotle is food with integrity, Taco Bell is not.

>>5563353
Viral marketing is presented from a peer as though it is not marketing.

>>5563551
>Chipotle might not be great, but at least they prepare everything fresh rather than reheat shit out of a factory.
That's a far cry from local, organic, non-GMO and grass fed. At least they make the stuff on site? Tell me about their tortillas.

The biggest difference is that in Chipotle the assembly is visible to you, like at Subway, whereas at Taco Bell it happens mostly our of sight.

>>5563487

>GMO foods are not good for the environment
All agriculture is not good for the environment.

>are unnecessary
Unnecessary considering it can keep output high and stabilize food prices by reducing virus/bacteria threats to crop yield?

>and recent research is starting to uncover interesting areas in which glyphosate residues can have a negative impact on animal health.
The risk in humans looks pretty under debate still at this time, having gone though several studies since 2010.

>>5563568
>That's a far cry from local, organic, non-GMO and grass fed.

None of which I care anything about.

But I do appreciate salsa that was made a couple hours before I bought it rather than shitty packets. fuck, they even make their own sour cream.

>>tortillas
They suck, like those from 99% of other places.

>>5563559

Close, but not correct.

Viral marketing is marketing that is spread in a peer network by combining it with something that users share with their friends. It's "viral" because peers spread it to each other--like a viral disease.

However I don't see anything here that's so cool I just have to send it to all my buddies--and I doubt that you or anyone else does either. So it's clearly not viral because it's not spreading.

half barbacoa half chicken
no beans
all the salsas
soir cream cheese no lettuce

next time i go to chipolte im gonna try the quessarito option

>>5563501
You sound like a twig, and $8 for a burrito is a waste of money.

>>5563577
I used to work at a Chipotle in DFW. Not to take the other guys side, but the salsa's come 90% prepared and we just pour sour cream into 1/6 pans.

>>5563574
>All agriculture is not good for the environment.
What is risk reduction?

>Unnecessary considering it can keep output high and stabilize food prices by reducing virus/bacteria threats to crop yield?
Please provide primary sources showing GMO crops have higher yields.

>>5563574
>The risk in humans looks pretty under debate still at this time, having gone though several studies since 2010.
Oh, you mean just over 3 years? Describe how things can impact human health beyond LD50.

>>5563574
>Unnecessary considering it can keep output high and stabilize food prices by reducing virus/bacteria threats to crop yield?
Food prices in America are incredibly low and highly subsidised. If GMO crops are helping farmers increase yield and profits, why are subsidies continuing to increase?

>>5563672
>What is risk reduction?

Better than non risk-reduction. But still a risk.

>Describe how things can impact human health beyond LD50.

Cancer, for one. Any sort of pathogenic disease. Chronic problems of nearly any sort. There are a massive number of medical problems beyond acute poisoning, which is all that LD50 purports to measure.

>>5563684
>why are subsidies continuing to increase?
Silly anon, did you think that all government decisions were made for a good reason?

The only reason to go to Chiptole is for a bowl. And that's not really much of a reason to go at all.

>>5563134
Do we really need another thread of this?

>>5563134
>I went there the other day and got a burrito but it kinda sucked. I'm thinking maybe it's because I ordered the carnitas when they weren't fresh but idk.

No, it always sucks. The marinade is always bland and the salsas are always inconsistent. Mild salsa will be tasteless one week and like chewing a habanero the next.

>>5563134
Do we really need another thread like this?!

>freshly made
>the ingredients come prepared in bags and just need to be mixed before dumping into a tray

fresh my ass. It's fast food.

>>5563703
>tasteless one week and like chewing a habanero the next.

Holy shit, anon! Did you just learn that the flavors of natural ingredients vary?

>>5563709
fresh gets thrown around way too much i think

>>5563712
No, but I'm used to eating at places where the the cooks will make alterations when preparing food so that it actually tastes good instead of just dumping a bunch of shit together because corporate says that's how it's done

>>5563703
>salsas are always inconsistent. Mild salsa will be tasteless one week and like chewing a habanero the next.
lol confirmed for someone whose diet is composed primarily of ultra-processed factory foods.

>>5563557
>Does Taco Bell use locally sourced produce year-round? Does Taco Bell use mostly non-GMO products?
Nope. And aside from token items here and there neither does Chipotle.
>Chipotle is food with integrity
Thanks for the laugh. You are one funny Anon!

>>5563208
Shut the fuck up faggot chipotle is great!

>>5563289
Shut the fuck up insane person, shills aren't real. Even if they were you should listen to them and buy their products. BE A CONSUMER!

Fuck off you nerds that keep spreading lies about chipotle. Chipotle is delicious and great and healthy and fun. Stop being nerds

>>5563134
dont have chipotle around here, have izzos illegal burritos..'ehh its ok

>>5563529
>flavorless

They taste fucking great you asshole

>>5563738
Stop being wrong Chipotle is great

Last time I ate at Chipotle 2 people came up and complained that the meat in their burritos was cold as I was being rung-up so they remade their burritos free of charge.

I got mine and the chicken was cold.

I told them and they offered to remake my burrito.

JESUSFUCK THE HEATING ELEMENT THAT KEEPS YOUR MEAT WARM IS EITHER BROKEN OR OFF REMAKING MY BURRITO WITH MORE COLD CHICKEN ISN'T GOING TO FIX IT.

>>5563703
>>5563718
And this. In a proper restaurant, or even at home, if the chiles are hotter or less hot than usual you can use less or more. At Chipotle they just dump a bunch of bags together as per the handbook.

>>5563766
may be that store itself

>>5563759
The fact that someone would describe it as "flavorless" shows how much of an anti-popularity hipster they are.

How can beef, beans, rice, and spices be flavorless? Even if it isn't your cup of tea, to use such hyperbole automatically discounts your opinion as nonsense that is purely emotional.

>I'm MAD! Chipotle is popular and I don't like their marketing! *stomps feet*

>>5563501
Yeah, it is.

>>5563780
>How can beef, beans, rice, and spices be flavorless?

Chipotle somehow manages to pull it off.

>>5563798
I spent $1300 on my dog and spent $300 on a fancy goldfish imported from Japan. Deal with it faggot.

barbacoa, pinto, brown rice, corn salsa, hot salsa, sour cream and guac, chips and a drink

>>5563802
>$1300 on a dog

$1300 on a purebred dog isn't shit. That's like some kind of popular breed from a puppy mill that inbreeds and doesn't do genetic testing for defects money. You probably bought it from some mall reseller at a markup too.

>>5563813
Nope, it's a borzoi. A rather rare breed that doesn't have much of a market, which is probably why it wasn't $2k like the Chihuahuas and Puggles or other overpriced mixed breeds.

Obviously the breeder tests for diseases and genetic abnormalities, it is a breed coming from a small gene pool. I can trace his lineage back 12 generations and he came with a binder full of papers.

Quesarito or Nachos.

>>5563759
>They taste fucking great you asshole
>>5563761
>Stop being wrong Chipotle is great

eople on this board will tell you Kraft mac & cheese tastes great. Hardly meaningful. If I wanted a pound of boring fake Mexican food wrapped up in a shitty flour tortilla I'd head straight to Chipotle, the same way I'd go to Subway if I wanted a similarly boring sandwich made for me on shitty bread.

Thankfully I'm rarely in a situation where the food options are grim enough that either seems like a good idea.

>>5563824
>binders full of dogs

I tried their new tofu stuff and it's actually delicious.

>>5563842

And what will the kids have to show for it? Two corpses buried in the backyard of the foreclosed Mcmansion. Congrats.

>>5563957
Oh shit yea, Big City! I love that shit, but I'm not sure potatoes doused in ranch counts as a burrito.

Cabo Bob's is GOAT

>>5564012
Nah, I'm not very materialistic or greedy. I like my dog, aquariums, and spending time outside (hunting, fishing, skiing, canoeing). I'm not a gearhead by any means, in fact I'm rather a minimalist. But that doesn't mean I don't believe in quality, and often quality comes with a price.

I'd rather have a few excellent things (by my standards, not brands) than a house full of shit.

>>5564050
Spending 1300 on a dog and 200 on a goldfish is just retarded every way you look at it. you're no different than any other materialistic whore buying trendy crap and designer brands.

Is it just me or is the corn salsa always frozen?

>>5563892
>fake Mexican food
>implying le epik authenticity matters

>>5563952
Um, yeah they fucking do moron

>>5563703
Nothing at Chipotle is bland. Stop having hipster taste buds and like Chipotle

>>5564061
200 on a goldfish is retarded but if you like the dog 1300 isn't as retarded

>>5564211
>implying le epik authenticity matters
>implying you care about food at all if you're eating at Chipotle

>>5564050

>5563208
s-sir, could you keep your voice down?

>>5563134
I usually get chicken and steak (just half and half, not extra meat), and it gives a nice combination of the steak's chewy texture and meaty flavor along with the nice grilled carbon flavor from the chicken.

I also wrap my own burritos because I'm the best around at wraps and chipotle burritos usually fall apart like mad.

>>5563568
I work at Taco Bell.

Chipotle DOES cook their food. They also assemble it in front of you, but that doesn't make a difference to me. But they make their guacamole and they cook their meat.

Taco Bell food is literally just assembled. Our meat is pre-cooked and then frozen before being reheated in a bag immersed in hot water.

I'm far from a Chipotle fanatic, but if I want something fast and filling that isn't going to sit in my stomach like a rock (like many authentic Mexican burritos tend to), then it's a go-to place.

>>5563134
I get either a bowl or a burrito with

White rice, black beans, veggies and barbacoa, corn salsa, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce.

My mouth ejaculated typing that.

You realize to each his own, though

Your fucking picture, stupidhead.

>>5563134
The Chipotle near my house has started skimping on their portions like crazy so I've had to change up my order to "hack" them for more food (I hate that terminology but you know what I mean).

- White rice, ask for extra
- Pinto beans
- 1/2 chicken
- 1/2 steak
(they rush orders so you'll typically end up with a double serving of meat instead of half/half, without paying more)
- Fajita veggies
- Tomatillo sauce
- Sour cream
- Cheese
- Guacamole
- Lettuce

Order this as a burrito bowl and you will get a shitload of food.

plebs

Seriously wondering chipotle shills, if I make comments/(constructive) complaints, would that shit ever have a chance of reaching someone that actually does something at the company? Just wondering because it would give a reason for me to actually contribute in these threads.

>>5563568
chipotle is not non-GMO stop lying.

>>5566576
They don't claim to be GMO-free yet, but they are shifting towards this goal. It's outlined on their website.
