Getting a sandwich with meat roasted in store and bread baked in store, is a good starting point for a sandwich.

I think that Arby's is selling these again...I recall ordering chicken strips maybe 1 month or so ago.

A Wawa I went to has some jalapeno cheddar bites that are not great...but they only cost 1.59?!

Good value, considering their sandwiches are usually worth it. Extra oil. Extra peppers. Extra satisfaction.

I just read that Chipotle now has a free iOS game app! If you get 3 stars on all four worlds, you get an electric coupon for a buy one, get one free Chipotle burrito.

News story on the Chipotle video game

Promo Rules

The app is found for free in Apple's app store under the name "Chipotle Scarecrow".

I'm hitting up checkers for the first time today. I'm deciding between a baconzilla burger, or a spicy chicken sandwich. Thoughts? I'm assuming the potato skins are variance packed and I should go with the fries.

Special fries? Shakes? Best value? Any protips are appreciated.

spicy chicken is good , big buford is elite , never had the baconzilla

reg fries are a must .

best value is probably w/e 2/4 special they have + a side of fries .

edit// just saw the BZ and it looks pretty good

BZ such a blatant ripoff of Baconator. Every chain should have one!

Until you've tried the egg salad sandwiches or the salmon or those little Spanish meat popovers you are incorrect.

You don't like their pizza? I've only had it at one location (Laguna Beach) but on multiple occasions and it was really good each time.

The idea that Whole Foods prepared foods aren't good seems like prima facie nonsense. Now overpriced I'll buy.

The pizza in Boulder was not good. It could have been stealth gluten free and tofu sausage but still not good.

Go with the Chicken/Egg/Cheese biscuit, not bagel. Not on the menu board but they will make no problem. Truly elite is spicy C/E/C Biscuit with pepper jack. 10/10, I think it's the single best tasting item at CFA.

Their sausage egg and cheese biscuit is outstanding too.

For those who aren't aware, there is a 253 pg thread in SE dedicated to pointing out and laughing at the bad posters. Riverman has headlined the thread title and dominated the thread for a long time now. He also doesn't like Breaking Bad.

Who cares? Riverman is awesome. I'd buy him a drink if he wanted to meet up for sure.

I had some sort of salmon pasta salad there a while ago that was GOAT but it was like $14.99/lb or something absurd

I've had whole foods pizza multiple times, brought it to parties, and it's always been solid. Not incredible but solid.

Big Y also makes pretty good pizza, and their fish and chips are elite.

The Cluck U by me has a rice bowl that's pretty good for $5. Rice + beans + lettuce onions tomatoes + grilled chicken and your choice of sauce. Less stuff than Chipotle but chicken better quality and cheaper, plus nuclear hot sauce!
