Burrito Touches Down
More in food news: Chipotle is arriving at the end of the month, and they’re courting Columbia students in a big way. The new shop’s advance team let Bwog know that on Wednesday, June 27, they’re holding a kickoff event to raise money for Columbia athletics–from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, five bucks will get you a hefty burrito and a drink, and all the money goes to CU teams. We’ll remind you as the time approaches.
If food’s one way to our heart, and money’s another, flashy websites are a third (we squandered a good half hour on this one–check out the dog section) and ethical food raising a fourth. The press release heavily promoted their naturally raised meats and organic beans, which should make your chunky hunk of Mexican taste even better. So, go forth and gorge, summer Columbians. And go Lions.

I want I want I want.
i can’t wait.
It’s going to be delicious. I love chipotle. It’s tough for those of us working in midtwown—the lines are like 100 ppl long from 11.30-1.00PM. they’ll make $$, that’s for sure!
YES YES YES YES YES
CHIPOTLE!
chip chip CHIPOTLE! yay!
i’m so glad the area is starting to get more convenient. it’s about time we got a chipotle. we can’t lag behind nyu with its 5 chipotles and a billion jamba juices.
This is a question that is completely unrelated to anything, but what’s the name of that music player that PC users are enjoying? I have a mac at home but I just started working on a PC and need some music!
winamp
I meant the online streaming player that isn’t available on Macs. There’s also the one that creates a playlist for you based on what songs/artists you like and I can’t remember the name of that one either.
last.fm?
What the fuck is the big deal? I normally hate on Mex food and culture and shit but, really, with Harlem infested with taco trucks and bodegas stocking cilantro and skirt steak–why would you eat there?
the second one you mentioned is pandora, which is at pandora.com. The first one might be Ruckus?
SCORE!!!
Why is the picture for this entry obviously a Taco Bell burrito?
Also, Chipotle is delicious! And from my home town. w00t!
I don’t know, but it’s fixed now.
Note that the current picture seems to be from a “Hebrew Chipotle” in which the line goes from right to left.
Or an “Arabic Chipotle”
All Chipotles I’ve ever been in go from right to left. You stand in line at the right of the store, the tortilla steaming is done there, and you move left until you pay.
Not only does the Chipotle in Tenleytown, Washington D.C. go left to right, the model chipotle on there website does so as well.
http://www.chipotle.com/#flash/food_ingredients
The rice and beans, the first ingredients are to the right of the server, which means a customer facing them will start at the left.
i’ve been in starts at the right and moves left. conspiracy!
on 13th and 6th goes left to right.
Also, I love the Chipotle website. Have you signed up for Chipotle DSL? When you click the logo on the upper-right, a pair of lips leave a lipstick mark on the screen. Clever, clever.
Purist my arse. You clearly are a Tex-Mex amateur. That is indeed Chipotle. The more important question is why is the dude pointing at his penis?
Is there going to be something special in that burrito?
what penis? this person looks like a hologram!
also: westside market, chipotle, pinkberry, jamba… people finally taking notice that columbia’s meal plan/food sucks and we need to be properly fed?
westside market noticed this decades ago; it just took a two year break to get new columbians to appreciate its presence.
The original photo (if you had gotten here early) was, indeed, a taco bell burrito. Thanks, BWOG, for changing the pic.
Is there some sweet holy alliance between Jamba Juice and Chipotle? I came home in May to find a new one of each right next to each other really close to my house. This is a union I fully support!!!
Any idea what the hours of operation are going to be?
any idea exactly where the new Chipotle will be?
at 110th and Broadway
Sweet manna from heaven!
Jou are eeting perros when you eet the taco
not to be a hater, but i find chipotle to be a little overrated- mostly rice, not filled to the brim, and pricey for what you get. i’d rather eat a taqueria burrito, stuffed to the breaking point at the same price as a chipotle burrito, and get the added bonus of eating at an authentic place and not a spin-off of mcdonalds. still, in the end chipotle beats anything john jay can turn out.
Chipotle, while owned by McDonald’s, is not a spin off. It was founded independently in Denver, CO (on Evans St.) and was later bought by McDonald’s after it had made a name for itself. Also, the carnitas are fricken’ amazing, and if you get tacos there’s no rice, just meat and toppings. Delicious!
but I find YOU a little overrated.
Taqueira burritos taste like arse.
*taqueria
I have excellent Mexican food (from many parts of Mexico) when I’m home (the Southwest). Taqueria sucks.
Jamba Juice just knows what I need
Chipotle knows what I want
That Taqueria isn’t that good. I think they use mozarella cheese in their chicken burritos, which is just such a bad idea. Mozarella is good, but tasteless in a burrito. Also it’s too far away.
Does anybody else like the lemony flavor of Chipotle rice? I really love it.
hell yessss!!!!!!!!!! woooohoooooooooo. but so expensive
I will probably eat Chipotle every single day for the next year.
Oh good lord I love Chipotle perhaps more than anything else.
Why not save some $$$ and lick up the brown rim around your toilet water instead?
Because it would not taste very good and it would be low in nutritional value as it is largely composed of excrement that the body could not use.
