I've never been to Chipotle either.

I've obviously been to Taco Bell a million times, but I've never had a Mexican Pizza or Nacho Bell Grande or any of the burritos before.

Live a little old man

Nothing wrong with texas roadhouse and a Chilis burger is consistently and much better than fast food for the same price.

And a basic arse general tsos from the strip mall asian place is always solid

Whataburger

Granted, they didn't start springing up around here until recent years.


Near misses-

I've been to Chipotle only once, on a business trip and that's where the boss wanted to eat. It wasn't bad. It wasn't great either. It seems to be a love/hate place for most people, for me it's just meh.

I've been to Olive Garden only once. Some of my wife's relatives wanted to take us out to dinner and they chose Olive Garden. Based on all the hate, I thought it would be bad but it was actually really good.

I don't think I've ever eat at Chipotle either, but I may have once. I know I've eaten at Izzo's, but not sure about Chipotle.

I'm talking places like Moe's and Qudoba. Juan's is more of a real restaurant.

I’ve never been to any of those 4 either.

All 4 are not really around BR, though, so probably not that weird.

Ive never eaten at either of these two either, though I had my share of fish sticks growing up in the 70s... I don't even know if they make/sell those things anymore..
