Food Chain

I remember my first Chipotle burrito. The chicken tasted pre-cooked. What I read here makes sense to me. The national chain pre-cooks all its meat in a central location from which it ships all over the continent to be reheated at local restaurants.

Chain restaurants should be avoided even merely as an act of support for your local economy. But in this case, if you want fresh meat, skip Chipotle and try your local burrito joint.

UPDATE (6/9/13): I've since seen meat being cooked at Chipotle.
