Chipotle does use central kitchens. There are articles about chipotle food safety discussing their processes. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/chipotle-makes-coli-outbreak-hike-prices/story?id=35798566

Norovirus is probably from an employee not from their food pipeline anyway.

Oh you're right, I got it confused

I gave them another chance after the initial outbreak. Then they had the credit card hack, and I was done because they obviously don't give a shit about their customers as pretty much the only national chain I've seen without chip. Looks like they still haven't learned.

don't eat your mom.

in any meaning of the word.

JFC, I nearly choked on my drink.

Taco Bell is definitely making a comeback. Their food is just so fucking tasty and stoner culture/Taco Bell as a meme is much bigger now than it ever was.

Not to mention Taco Bell has fewer calories than Chipotle.

I'm having Taco Bell for lunch, whereas a few years back Chipotle was my staple.

Say what you want, but Taco Bell is making the effort and reaping the reward. Their reinvention has been flawless.

 

[Kill3r7]

like, is there a reason this seems to happen more with Chipotle, or are people just hyper-aware of anytime it happens now?

Does it have something to do with the type of ingredients they use? (Non-GMO, I believe, and almost all natural/locally sourced/etc)

I just can't believe that a company trying so hard to avoid this stuff still has slip ups like this. Especially because they actually do seem to have their stuff together at the upper levels.

Either someone is trying to take them down or they need to retrain all employees and implement a whole new food prep system with a full time supervisor dedicated to maintaining protocol.

The last 2 times I went for Chipotle, I ended up sick on the toilet. Never again.

 

[GodofWine]

I wonder if this 'shit' starts with the customers though, they have that trough of utensils you just grab from, I mean, everyone's DNA is on those forks/knives/spoons/hot sauce bottles.

Think about all those fingers taking the caps off the tabasco bottles...ehhhhhh

Norovirus is no fun

The worst day of my fucking LIFE. I've never felt so much like shit...

I hate Chipotle but love Taco Bell, even though it's not real Mexican food it doesn't matter because it tastes good nonetheless.

Funny enough I loved the burrito bowl from Chipotle and Taco Bell has a version of it for half the price. While not the same quality it's still damn good, especially for how much it costs.

Maybe all these scares in Virginia will force them to implement a rewards program like Qdoba.

Exactly. It's delicious, cheap, filling, and there's a ton of variety.

Yup. Tried that a few times, too, and it works just fine!

I haven't had Taco Bell in years, but i'd rather have ~3 cheesy gordita crunches than one chipolte burrito (I think you can get ~3 of them for the price of one burrito)

Every 5th burrito, your Imodium is free.

Here's a really good longform article about Chipotle's struggles with keeping its food contaminant free

https://www.fastcompany.com/3064068/chipotle-eats-itself

It's a really good, albeit, long read.

I read this article at work and on the train home- damn good, long article. Chipotle has some serious problems that it seems like they still are having trouble working on (I know it's an older article, but it hasn't really improved for them).

Uh oh... I actually ate at this Chipotle on Saturday. Had no idea this happened until my mom told me today. I feel fine so far...

 

[Tigress]

Why do people still eat there? Bad enough they had one food poisoning but within a year or so they had another. That says to me they can't get their act together. If they can't make sure to be extra careful after one food contamination then I doubt they'll ever get better. And that's not even counting this time which is just emphasizing my point.

You're probably fine then. Norovirus hits you like a train. And then you start shitting trains. And puking. Sometimes simultaneously.
