Summary for those who don't want to click: ESPN interviewed Grayson and he called Chipotle's new queso offering "underwhelming." He has many people in agreement as it hasn't been received well at all -- more broadly, Chipotle stock has been crushed today in response to poor earnings.

Well, not like it's a super long article. Did I miss something about we're not clicking on Bloomberg? Just asking, please.

Ha, true, not that I'm aware of. I just think it's helpful to give the highlights. It's the sagegrouse way -- I've learned from him. :D No offense intended, and didn't mean to suggest anything about Bloomberg. Although I did find it funny that the article linked to ANOTHER article than linked to yet ANOTHER article. That is some third hand reporting, haha.

So does this mean that Duke and Grayson Allen are now ruining basketball, Cascada, AND Chipotle?! Bad week.

Well, you can't spell "Chipotle" without e coli.

I love chipotle. I go there at least 3 times a month. The queso is very very gritty. But if you can get over that, it’s actually pretty good

Eric Cartman recommends Chipotlaway for any of your post-Chipotle stomach concerns.

It's getting hard to keep the DBR life rules straight: so it's OK to consume news from large, successful companies, but it's not OK to consume "Ymm, Beers" from such companies and we must limit ourselves to imbibing from for-profit enterprises of small-to-middlin' size ...

Also a big Chipotle fan. The texture is a little strange with the queso, but I still think it has solid flavor.

Here in the south we love our cheese grits.


Chipotle just has a different take on that with their grits cheese. :)

Literal lol. Well played, sir.

My take on any DBR beer guidelines is merely be an informed consumer. Drink what you like!

Chipotle as a whole is very overrated IMO.

You are correct. For now.

He's right about the dip. It's the size of a ketchup cup for 4 bucks. And doesn't taste good.
I'm actually a fan of their food in general though.

He also said he is back down to his freshman year weight (but much stronger). So maybe it’s a good thing for us that the queso isn’t great.

Now if I could just get back down to MY freshman weight! (sigh)

Hmmm, long ago, I made my farewell to queso. We parted as friends but, sadly, also as adversaries. Haven't seen old queso in many many many years.
