The Gifts of Chipotle


My comments about Chipotle Mexican Restaurant are better late than never.  I am likely the last person to sing the praises of this restaurant, but it has truly been an important part of my Spontaneity Tool Box.  A city with a Chipotle is gift for a person with food allergies.
Red dots indicates cities with gifts!  Albuquerque actually has 3 locations.

  The Gifts of Chipotle:

  1. Food made from real, natural ingredients, nothing funky like 'soy protein isolate'. 
  2. Ingredients are listed on their website.  link to allergy info
  3. Meat, beans, & rice are served before the dairy, lessening the chances of cross contamination. 
  4. Food prepared right before your very eyes. 
  5. Clean hands, clean spoons, and clean food if requested.*
  6. Kid's meals!

* We have eaten at many Chipotle's across the country and we have not had a negative experience with a food allergy reaction.  I am fully aware that it could happen, but I could also be hit by a bus.  When you order, tell them that you have a food allergy and the crew steps into action (most of time).  They will wash their hands and change their gloves at a minimum.  Some crews have even used new spoons and fresh containers of meat, rice, and beans.  
 
Make the choice that is right for you and get out and see the world!
