And you cant read and you made assumptions about my posts. Did I once say Chipotle didnt use quality stuff? Good quality doesnt always mean healthy. At the place that I go to I can get a burrito the same size, with more meat for $3. Add in $1 per taco with meat that Chipotle would never serve cause most Americans would be too grossed out to try.
Where did you even get that I said you have to get ingredients from Mexico for Mexican tasting food? Its about who cooks it and the way that they cook it. Thats like me saying the Vietnamese food here isnt authentic cause they didnt get mint leaves from Vietnam..
Your exact word was "taste" when he asked you what the difference between authentic and not-authentic was. Now, you're saying that it's the people preparing it even though any chain is going to be following the chain's method and not letting the ethnicity of the worker come into play. He went in to the ingredients because that is what the taste comes from and then you just changed your answer. Good debating skills there, bud.
And as for Chipotle's (s is properly indicating possessive here!) quality and health, you should really read up on it. They are the only place I know of that insists on meat and ingredients that were never factory farmed or pumped full of hormones and preservatives. That almost directly translates into health and nutrition. Sure, there are a lot of hole-in-the-wall places in San Diego that I prefer to Chipotle, but they don't even make a peep about where their beef comes from while Chipotle proudly proclaims it on the bag, cup, store door, etc.
Also, if you still think that WHO is making it matters: I've been at Chipotles (the s is for pluralization here!) from coast to coast (Atlanta, San Diego) and the vast majority of employees I've seen were Latino. In fact, it's so common that I'm usually surprised when one isn't.
