Chipotle Stalks Orange Nation Like A Wolf Stalking A Lamb

The greatest shame of the whole Taco Bell "meat" scandal is that it makes Chipotle look that much better. And I assure you, Chipotle is not on the side of good. It is on the side of evil. It's burritos might not contain the same amount of silicon dioxide as Taco Bell, but it contains 500% "evil dioxide." That's science, look it up on a website.

The fact of the matter is, Chipotle officially announced that they were coming to Marshall Street on January 18th. That means on Janaury 17th, a press release had been written, decisions had been made and Chipotle-related intentions had been put out into the Universe.

It is then no coincidence that Syracuse suffered its first loss of the season on January 17th. And every day that Chipotle continues its plans for SU domination is another day that Syracuse's basketball team has not won. We were 18-0 before Chipotle made it official, we are 0-4 since. What more do I have to show you to make you believe me?

Well, how bout this?

Yes it does.

UConn is next up and that's no comfort to Syracuse fans, Chipotle or no Chipotle. Unlike every other opponent, however, the Huskies are harnessing the evil power of the barbacoa for their own gain. The UConn Blog is taking the Chipotle Challenge, whereby they'll be eating Chipotle every day of the week before the game Wednesday. They've already packed on enough calories to qualify as a contestant on The Biggest Loser, so I suppose that's the silver lining.

That and maybe, just maybe, their wanton disregard for the menacing power of Chipotle will transfer the curse from Syracuse to UConn. If the Orange win, then perhaps that means that The Angry Chipotle Gods will have turned their attention East to our rival for their insolence.

In the meantime, you know what you can do. Number one, NO CHIPOTLE THIS WEEK. We're all in this together, people. Number two, if you can find a way to destroy any number of Chipotle burritos (and put said destruction on film), you will be doing your part. Making that kind of offering has worked in the past. I can't do it alone, though.

I've never had it before.

We don’t have one in Bingo.

Is it any good, or just comparable to the Moe’s?

Not that I would eat either, so many good local restaurants with real Mexicans makin’ home cookin’.

Chipotle is unfortunately

Way tastier than Moe’s. Although when you’re a poor grad student, nothing beats Moe’s Mondays.

Other people look, Andy Rautins can SEE.

Chipotle or no chipotle..

if the Orange gets outhustled again by Connecticut like they did against Pitt, ’Nova, Seton Hall, & Marquette they are a lock to lose.

Too much for me

You’ve got to be really hungry and really crazy to eat one.

Is Qdoba any good? There’s one down the street from me but I’m wary of it because nothing in Michigan has any flavor.

Because of the calories in an average Chipotle burrito

I stick to Subway anyway (flatbread turkey with jalapenos and southwest chipotle sauce, wait, is it just the restaurant or is anything chipotle off-limits?).

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I think

its just the restaurant. I get that same sandwich sometimes with onions and spinach as well.

This raises the question

of whether or not I’m still going to eat my horrible horrible Taco Bell. Probably not until the issue of the percentage of meat actually gets solved.

I will still eat

my crunch wrap supreme…. but only because I get it with spicy chicken

If you live in Charlotte, NC

Go to Phat Burrito. It is locally owned and is the inverse of Chipotle. Eating their burritos (and quesadillas) is like singing your praises to the buritto gods.

I thought we had broken the Chipotle Curse

This is like at the end of Halloween when Michael Myers gets shot six times and the doctor assumes that’s the end of that, BUT HE JUST KEEPS COMING BACK!

The football team broke it

but the basketball team has not.

The sad part is

The UConn blogger is right. It probably DOES violate some NCAA rules.

Wait….can we get Scoop suspended for it? GO! GO! GO!!

I am totally doing my part. Today I was going to get take out for dinner (because I am failing at life and managed to have nothing in my house that could conceivably be made into a meal and now there’s a blizzard) and was thinking about going to Chipotle. But I changed my mind and went to Panara Bread. (Then I heard from people at Panara that the weaksauce Chipotle had closed because of the snow, so it’s a good thing I didn’t walk all the way over there.)
