¿Why do people who have never been to México, let alone taken local regional cooking classes on tradicional ingredientes indigenas con Méxican chefs like I have, have such negative feelings about a high quality fast casual chain that no one in his right mind would mistake for auténtica gastronómica Méxicana?

Chipotle provides a quick, predictable, reasonably priced wholesome meal in convenient locations for business folk in high density commercial districts, can't we just agree on that? It's like getting mad that your West Coast IPA doesn't convey the subtle taste of hallertau hops - well of course it doesn't, that's not what it's about.

Nope. It's fast food masquerading as something "wholesome". If you like fast food, fine. Enjoy your fast food. Plenty of folks do. But claiming your fast food is "wholesome" just because most of the ingredients are recognizable is kidding yourself.

I don't know. I live in mexican neighborhood and eat a lot at so called "authentic" mexican restaurants. They're okay, but they're mostly all the same. Kinda like how chinese restaurants are all the same. Sure they are cheaper, but most hole in the wall taco joints use the cheapest shit quality ingredients they can source. Chiptole is miles ahead in terms of quality control, and they're ingredients tend to be much higher quality. I could care less about how "authentic" food is. I just want it to taste good and chipotle tastes good and is affordable considering the size of burrito you can get for the price

This.
I just read an article yesterday where they compared the nutritional content of typical Chipotle orders and it was no better if not WORSE than regular fast food places or hole in the wall mexican places. Even the veggie burrito had over 1000 calories in it. And, it's not even fucking good. I'd rather eat 1000 calories from my local taco stand where I can get a lengua or birria taco or torta with fucking delicious salsas and homemade chips, or a pambazo for less cost and better flavor.

Fact: authentic is nothing more than a marketing term paper these days. You're being ass blasted because ethnic food is sold in America now it's "Americanized." By your own autismo logic, if Chinese immigrants move to ameriland and open a shop it's less authentic because of regional land masses?

so making pasta is considered italian authentic cooking? I do that all the time

And I don't have a problem with food authentic or not , I do have a problem with a few things.

1) Traditional Mexican is better then Tex Mex on average.

2)Most tex mex is passed as mexican even if its not.

3) most tex mex is garbage. I would rather eat hipster innovated Mexican such as Korean tacos than hard shell ground beef tacos.

The problem for me is quality of the product and tex mex usually lacks in quality

Who brought tex-mex into this discussion?

Tex-mex is it's own cuisine developed by mexicans living in texas over several generations. There's also a socal mexican cuisine, developed by multiple generations of mexicans living there.

In a city like Chicago, there really haven't been multiple generations of mexican immigrants, just one or maybe two. They haven't really developed their own cuisine like other mexican immigrant populations elsewhere have.

Look, I don't mind mexican food at all. But when I go to Chipotle I can be assured that I'm not going to end up biting into some nasty piece of gristle or some little bone shard, which is something that happens far more frequently than I'd like when I go to more "mexican" restaurants.

Fun fact: Most "chinese" restaurants aren't actually Chinese mostly, but Chinese-inspired, and altered to better suit Americans' taste.

Most Japanese food is at least not harsh to Western taste, so it can come mostly unmolested.

Mexican suffers the same fate as Japanese, altered to fit Western tastebuds more than anything.

I know my Mexican food history m8. Probably more than 99% of /ck/. And yes there's a so cal cuisine (carne asada fries, asian fusion, chicano style tacos, adoption of the fish taco, seafood tostadas, puffy tacos, burritos tepayac etc etc) but that's not on topic

What your problem is you're eating mexican food from wetbacks who've never had any culinary experience, never cooked in Mexico, never owned or in a restaurant/food stall/food stand in Mexico. These people will buy shit tier ingredients and shit tier preparations in order to get easy money. Once you start going to the right places you'll see that these people that have made mole in a food stall in oaxaca or sold birria in their homes will give you the superior preparation and give you better ingredients even if it will cost you more. (zaragozas's goat for example). There's a reason why Traditional Mexican has better reviews and has 4-5stars +michelin stars in the US

this could be said for any cuisine as well.

And to get this straight, I like Pujol, but its not the best Mexican in Mexico, heck, its not even the best for its genre.

I hate this stigma that the only place to get good Mexican food has to be eaten in a wedding or a gathering or in some small fonda. This isn't the case anymore. Good Mexican food can be found everywhere in Mexico, not just your aunt's grandma's home.

The best place to find good Mexican food is from specialists who add their own flair /touch to the tradition

A good example would be Nicos in DF, ye ne nisa in oaxaca, las mercedes in guanajuato mariscos ruben in tijuana etc etc

Adding diacritics to the words would be nice touch to emphasize the authenticity of your statement if only those words reflected grammar.

In any case I don't care if gringos like shit food like taco bell or supposedly nice food like Chipotle. If only their marketing was honest and labeled as Mexican inspired food or something. It shouldn't be called Mexican if you can't find something like it in Mexico.

It's not how the world should see us. Because it's also a bit of a letdown to see restaurant advertising as Mexican in Europe and only find chicken fajitas and chalupas. Not that I think the trend is gonna end anytime soon.

1. Chipotle isn't run by Mexicans, so you can expect a certain level of cleanliness and hygiene. No playing shit-your-pantalones roulette (or at least your odds are better)
2. Consistency and predictability no matter where you are.
3. Tastes good enough. Not going to wow you like a traditional place will, but also not going to be terrible.

>people do care about taste
This is true, but they don't care whether or not something tastes good so much as they care about whether food tastes familiar and consistent. Budweiser doesn't taste good, nor does American cheese or breakfast cereal. But people eat these things because they're familiar and consistent. They taste OK at best. If people really gave a fuck about their food tasting good do you think boneless, skinless chicken breast would be the most popular meat in America?

No.

Like most fast food Chipotle offers a quick fix of bland mediocrity (along with lots of salt and fat) to people who don't have the option of or interest in seeking out something better. What makes Chipotle particularly nefarious is that unlike Taco Bell, which everyone knows is trash Chipotle has managed convince people it's somehow "better" than fast food.

Their business model requires their customers embracing that lie while shelling out nearly twice the price of a meal at Taco Bell for only marginally better food. If taste were the primary concern people would not eat at Chipotle.

>What makes Chipotle particularly nefarious is that unlike Taco Bell, which everyone knows is trash Chipotle has managed convince people it's somehow "better" than fast food.

I don't see how that's nefarious or misleading at all. The quality is quite a bit higher than most fast food. The food is cooked on-site and reasonably fresh. That alone is a huge step up from most fast food, where the food was cooked in a factory somewhere and then reheated when you order it. I'm not sure where there "lie" is exactly?

Is Chipotle authentic? Nope. Is it particularly good? Nope. Is it bland? Yeah. But I think it's pretty clear that it's certainly fresher and uses higher quality ingredients than typical fast food like subway, McD's or taco hole.

Walk into one. You can see them doing all the prep in-house. The salsa doesn't come out of a jar or a bag--they actually make it the same day you eat it. You can see them doing so as the kitchen is in full view. Ditto for the beans, the meats, etc.

Their cheese is pretty craptastic though.

This isn't true. The ingredients are more recognizable, but with the exception of a token few things they advertize about it's mostly the same low grade crap every other fast food joint uses.

Sure the option of grass fed beef at a handful of locations is nice. So are fresh avocados. Maybe the cilantro is locally grown. But what about the bulk of what they sell? It's the same garbage ingredients any other fast food chain could get, some just a little less processed.

But when the end result is still high calorie, high fat, high salt junk food what difference does it really matter?
>Is it particularly good? Nope. Is it bland? Yeah
Obviously it doesn't make much difference.

And you're still not offering any credible proof that it's "higher quality".
Frankly, if you knew how food manufacturing works, you'd realize the error of your statements. Just because people are cooking defrosted meats in the building does not mean it's higher quality. Actually, there's more room for error and the possibility of contamination. Cooking the food in house, in a fast food setting, using fast food techniques, does not make it higher quality. I'm no proponent of fast food, period, but Chipotle is just fast food masquerading as something better, and appealing to people's desire to feel better about themselves.

If that were the case Chipotle wouldn't be in business.

No you fucking viral marketer and here's why.

Chipotle is the part of the 'fast casual' cancer of the food industry that markets itself as being the better and healthier choice that still has all the same shitty low qualities of fast food.

It is pretentious and obnoxious to pretend that you're better than Carl's Jr or Burger King, you aren't.

It's actually fucking brilliant. Most fast food joints are forced to sell their food cheaper and cheaper in the form of dollar/value menus. Chipotle gets people to line up to pay a little more than what they would at an average fast food joint just by selling the idea that they're better.

Their profits come from not just counting on the fact that people don't have very good taste, but also that they'll believe whatever they're told if it sounds like something they'd like to hear,

That's evil genius level stuff.

That's why I bought stock in the company, even though I think the food sucks.

sorry to burst your bubble, but the beans, barbacoa, carnitas, and both kinds of tomatillo salsas all come out of bags. we reheat beans and meat on the stovetop and add a little seasoning, but they're prepared in commissarys across the country. we do add some fresh chopped veggies to the green salsa, but the red stuff only gets a little Tabasco sauce added in

>>6261605
the meats aren't defrosted, though. the only thing we serve that was ever frozen is the corn.
