So, last night I emailed Chipotle. Why? I don't know. I merely wanted to suggest that they add queso to their menu. I'm not really a salsa kind of girl.
I found this in my inbox this morning:
"Stephanie,
Thanks for all the love. And, we appreciate your suggestion, but alas, queso is not our kind of food for a number of reasons. The most important part though is that in order to keep cheese at a semi-liquid state for queso dip, you need to add chemical stabilizers that prevent it from becoming too runny and also prevent it from becoming too thick. Many places also kick in artificial colors (why not?) to make it look like real cheese too (it's not, although there are sometimes "real cheeses" in it).
Sincerely,
Dawn"
I responded with "Thanks for keepin it real, Chipotle!"
Re: I love Chipotle
"queso is not our kind of food"?
I would never go to Chipotle again based on that statement alone. Queso is the soup of the Gods.
But then there's the dilemma of wanting rice. Their rice is so yummy. I could get it on the side I suppose....
they are all about organic & natural stuff.
interesting because mcdonald's owns them.
