Chipotle is a smart company - their mission statement "Food with Integrity" (here is an excerpt from their website)
"Food With Integrity" isn't a marketing slogan. It's not a product line of natural and organic foods. And it's not a corporate initiative that will ever be finished or set aside to make room for other priorities. It's a philosophy that we can always do better in terms of the food we buy. And when we say better, we mean better in every sense of the word- better tasting, coming from better sources, better for the environment, better for the animals, and better for the farmers who raise the animals and grow the produce.The hallmarks of Food With Integrity include things like unprocessed, seasonal, family-farmed, sustainable, nutritious, naturally raised, added hormone free, organic, and artisanal. And, since embracing this philosophy, it's had tremendous impact on how we run our restaurants and our business. It's led us to serve more naturally raised meat than any other restaurant in the country, to push for more sustainable practices in produce farming, and to work with dairy suppliers to eliminate the use of added hormones from their operations. It's even influenced the way we view other aspects of our business, from the materials and systems we use to design and build our restaurants, to our staffing and training programs."
This makes so much sense, my fiance and I try to eat and live in accordance with these principles and to have a healthy 'fast food' restaurant that is totally affordable and you can respect is an amazing accomplishment in my book.
I always get the same exact thing YUMMMMM...I think it is like $6.50
- Salad Bowl, extra lettuce
- Fajita Onions & Peppers
- Chicken
- 1/2 Spoonful of Black Beans
- 1 1/2 Scoop of Pico de Gallo
- Hot Sauce on the Side
- Guacamole on the Side
you don't need dressing with the bean sauce and pico - just mix it all up!
