I listen to everything Oprah says. When Oprah said everyone should watch Food Inc, I made Dr. P watched the eye opening documentary about where food comes from with me. I highly recommend this film to everyone. It will make you think about what you put in your mouth and start making conscious choices about what you eat. We also saw the interview with Chipotle Mexican Grill’s founder Steve Ells on Oprah. He said that everything in Chipotle is freshly made in the restaurant. There is no frozen vegetable except corn. All of their chicken and pork are natural raised, and 60% of their beef is grass-fed. There is no machine operation in their restaurant. Everything is chopped, cooked, grilled, and prepared by their cooks. After watching the interview, Dr. P stopped by the restaurant to pick up some healthier Mexican fast food from Chipotle for us to try.
Salad With Chicken ($5.70)
Chopped romaine lettuce with choice of beans, meat, salsa and cheese, with freshly made chipotle-honey vinaigrette. Naturally raised chicken, marinated in our Chipotle adobo, then grilled.
The menu at Chipotle is very simple. There’s salad, burrito, and taco. Meat choices are chicken, pork, and beef. There’s also vegetarian option. Dr. P got a Salad with Chicken for us to share. All the ingredients tasted so fresh, even the frozen corn! The grilled chicken was tender and very flavorful. I like the honey vinaigrette, but Dr. P thought it was a bit too sweet for his taste. He said next time he’ll request to have salsa as dressing.
