JITB Exploding Cheezy Chicken Thing confirmed delicious. Their mozza sticks are really darn good. But be warned that it's really, really messy and also that it has mayo on it (I saw it in the picture and assumed it was ranch. bad assumption). Next time, I'll ask for it w/o.

Yea any time I get a burrito anywhere, carnitas+barbacoa (ideally double meat) is the way to go. If I could pick only one, it would be barbacoa.

I much prefer the corn tortilla to the flour tortilla, that is why I get the tacos. I dont think they have a corn tortilla for the burrito but if they do that's my next move.

Burrito son...I think I've seen big corn tortillas for burritos but maybe that was at a different store

Wait what is the difference at Chipotle between barbacoa and carnitas? I agree barbacoa is the nut meat, when im super hungry I'll get it double meat with half chicken which is really good too. Tried steak only once and it was underwhelming. But my chipotle doesn't advertise the carnitas at least.

Also, oktoberfest burger back at RR and it's on a pretzel bun, not sure if it was last year.

Is it full lamb?

I don't think corn tortillas are feasible for a chipotle burrito. Seems like it would fall apart too easily.

I just called my local chipotle and they do not carry corn tortillas for burritos just for tacos. Probably because they would call apart like mullen said.

If burrito places can make a good machaca I usually go with that because, well it's good.

Tried it this morning. Bacon and egg croissant was tasty, tots were pretty good.
Grape Sprite topped it off nicely. Next time think I'll try the biscuit/bacon/egg/cheese.

Friend just posted a pic of the Triple O's new monthly feature. (Triples O's Western LOLCanada chain)

Poutine burger (single burger with fries, cheese curds and gravy on bottom + bacon)

Their feature sake is a caramel pretzel milkshake. Tempted on that one.

Or just the old standby chorizo-potato-egg-bean-cheese.

How can I be hungry right after dinner?

This thread has made me want to go Barbocoa or Carnitas next time I go to chipotle.

What are the Chipotle-esque FF Power Rankings. Pretty sure I've only been to 3.

1. Chipotle
2. Freebirds (only been once tho and could see it being number one)
3. Qdoba

If Chipotle had Qboda's Queso, I'd never eat anywhere else. Which is why I would think Freebirds > Chipotle is very plausible.

I like Freebird's but I probably put Chipotle slightly ahead.

BTW, anyplace that doesn't toast their hamburger buns is doomed to serve a soggy burger.

+1. English Muffin is the only way to go at the counter.

Pro move for burgers IMO is to put them on ciabatta bread. I don't know if any fast food places have that though, I do it at home, so maybe it's not very relevant to this thread. I'll see myself out.

I'm pretty sure JITB had cibatta burgers at one point. I know they had breakfast sandwiches on ciabatta.
