i had lunch with ryan today. that’s always nice. he’s got some fun work stuff going on so it was interesting to talk about that.

original chipotle crispy tacos

greg — Wed, 30 May 2007 03:41:47 +0000

the original chipotle store was smoking tonight. the place was packed - line out the door - even at 9:00 at night. i wonder what their sales per store and sales per square feet and sales per $ lease looks like. i’ll bet this location is pretty good on those kinds of measures.

oh mah god - chipotle burrito in omaha

greg — Mon, 28 May 2007 20:12:00 +0000

we were on a road trip home from sioux city iowa and i thought - i wonder if there is a chipotle in omaha, nebraska since we have to drive through that anyway. and guess what? there is. at least one. the one we went to is near the University of Nebraska. i’m not sure of all the chipotle locations around there, but at least this one was pretty nice.

the strip mall it was in was not nearly as nice as most are. and the railing around the outside was made out of railing, not just angle iron. i hope that was a rule from either the city or the strip mall and not chipotle changing their style.

the decadent barbacoa burrito - when it's free

greg — Fri, 25 May 2007 20:11:58 +0000

we got a free burrito card from a friend so we went all out getting all our favorite ingredients. the interesting thing is that this particular combination is not all that tasty. i like guacamole. i like barbacoa. i don’t like them together. next time - barbacoa burrito with chips and guac on the side. that’s clearly the better way to go.

chicken bol burrito in Aurora (A - TOWN) save a ghetto, buy a burrito

greg — Thu, 24 May 2007 19:34:48 +0000

this is a new store for me. interesting place. the outside is horrible. really horrible. it needs some serious help. i mean, how can chipotle have both the amazing store design on Colorado Blvd and also have this one?

anyway - the inside is your usual level of chipotle awesome. the seats and booths and stools are laid out in a really fun way. well done!

also, on his day2day blog, miKeSee wrote about save a life, buy a chipotle burrito. i’m not 100% sure i agree with his flow of logic, but it sure can’t hurt.

chicken bol in boulder

another delicious day in boulder. the clouds on the way back were simply amazing. some of the best i’ve ever seen and i’ve seen a LOT.

vegetarian burrito on alameda

greg — Thu, 17 May 2007 20:19:25 +0000

so, this morning i got a request to buy stock and i responded with a bit of a flippant point that if you need to ask you then you’re not doing something right.

well, the author of the email pointed out to me that he’s a really savvy guy. my bad.

i got a delicious burrito today and am now having a chai. what a delicious day.

chicken burrito - what is the right ordering order at chipotle

greg — Mon, 14 May 2007 22:59:21 +0000

three of us ordered our burritos “chicken burrito” and they guy making them added rice without asking and then moved on to the meat item. So, no beans. We all said something like “can I also have black beans”. By the time the third person said that he got upset and said “you have to order the beans first before the meat.” I was basically flabbergasted. First of all, I’ve ordered that way every single time I go to chipotle. and nobody corrects me. and they always say “black or pinto” if I don’t beat them to it.

so, wtf?

second, that’s basically the rudest way to say that you’ve requested food in the wrong order. seriously. how about “ok, next time order the beans first and then the meat.” crazy.

next time i go into a store where i don’t know the people i’m going to pretend like i don’t know and get them to instruct me.

carnitas crispy tacos at the original chipotle

greg — Mon, 14 May 2007 02:41:05 +0000

I never get crispy tacos. and rarely get carnitas. but tonight i got both. craziness.

also, some local macho men came in and while I’m pretty sure the manager didn’t like them, he really fed off of their mood and played into it and had fun with them. it was an amazing display of professionalism and treating the customer well. it seemed to kind of get on the nerves of some other customers (these guys were loud!) but the manager had fun and the guys really had fun. it was a pretty interesting thing to see.

biking to the original chipotle

greg — Sat, 12 May 2007 22:55:44 +0000

i decided to bike down to the store today. it was a great time. i figured out that from my house down to ellsworth, over to washington takes me most of the way south. from there i should have gotten on buchtel and taken buchtel to franklin. instead i wound through platt park and east du neighborhoods and nearly got in accidents with cars at the many low visibility intersections.

on the way home i took franklin to buchtel which worked great, but then i got on downing north which worked OK aside from the asshole cars who don’t know colorado bike/driving law very well. The thing is colorado bike law isn’t just for bicyclists. it’s for drivers.

interestingly enough in my afternoon rage i see that we will soon be able to get share the road license plates which is pretty cool. I’ll definitely be doing that next time I need a license.

free chicken burrito from chipotle

greg — Fri, 11 May 2007 19:04:47 +0000

Since they sent me a free burrito I went all out and got the chicken with guacamole. ooooh - delicious! bug and i split this so the fact that it was enormous wasn’t a major problem.

free chicken burrito - not today

greg — Thu, 10 May 2007 22:36:32 +0000

they replaced the leather on some of the chairs recently so I got a photo of an updated chair with brand new leather on it.

it occurred to me that they do not seem to ever condition the leather. i wonder if putting some conditioner on the leather would help it last longer at the cost of some conditioner getting onto the butts of visitors. if it were applied sunday night and wiped off well then it should be fine…

also, the lady sitting two stools away from me at the bar had her purse on the bar. when I sat down she realized it was taking up too much space.

about the free burrito - well, i got a coupon for one in the mail the other day. i was going to use it today. but i realized that if i used it then i should get guacamole. and my partner loves guacamole. so i want to wait until i’m splitting the burrito with her. so thoughtful, i know.

delicious chicken burrito bol

greg — Wed, 09 May 2007 18:40:59 +0000

we ate on the grass in front of boulder’s city/county building. during lunch today kevin was discussing a great movie that involved cannibalism. mmmm…burritos while discussing cannibalism.

barbaco bol in boulder (bolder?)

greg — Mon, 07 May 2007 22:03:15 +0000

quite an odd combination today…i enjoyed it, but missed the black beans. i just forgot to ask for them - crazy. we were busy getting lots of different things for takeout, though, because today is Kevin’s first day at work. fortunately he seems to like chipotle. very important, obviously.

barbacoa burrito for cinco de mayo

greg — Sat, 05 May 2007 20:50:05 +0000

for cinco de mayo denver has an enormous turnout. me, i decided to go to chipotle. it was a great time, as could be expected….

there were a few folks in some random fiesta-like outfits that seemed to also be including chipotle in their cinco de mayo celebration.

chicken burrito on colorado boulevard

greg — Thu, 03 May 2007 20:33:12 +0000

i read today that avocados are getting more expensive and they may start costing even more. they already boosted the price of guacamole a while ago, but that’s crazy to me that they are getting even more expensive. we need to get more farmers busy growing avocados because those things are delicious!
