We Tried Everything at Chipotle's New ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen in D.C.
There's been a lot of buzz around town surrounding the opening of Chipotle's new Southeast Asia-inspired ShopHouse, despite the company's best efforts to keep it under wraps. While it's still unclear as to why CEO Steve Ells would open the first (and only planned) location here in D.C., residents seem to be pretty pleased about it. I put my math-minded friend in charge of ordering to make sure we got every ingredient in every category in at least one bowl and banh mi.What Next Iron Chef Nate Appleman Has Been Doing at Chipotle
Some of you became familiar with chef Nate Appleman during his intense stint on The Next Iron Chef. Appleman was known for his nose-to-tail style of cooking, not to mention being ultra competitive. Quite a bit has changed since then. He's now eating on vegetarian burrito from Chipotle every day (he's serious) and working the line at the chain's Manhattan test kitchen. "Chipotle is the first restaurant I've worked in since I started at 14 that doesn't have a freezer."Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 129: My Lettuce Abandonment Issues
Lately I've been ordering a Chipotle Mexican Grill salad a couple of times a week for lunch. I used to order them with a bag of freshly fried chips and salsa, eat a third of the chips, and give the rest away. Lately, as my own kind of plate discipline has improved, I manage not to order the chips. Even without the chips, a Chipotle salad is a satisfying and solidly delicious meal.10 DIY Food-Themed Halloween Costumes

A new Chipotle-ordering iPhone App allows you to customize orders and even pay for your meal without pointing to a single salsa tub in line, according to Business Insider. Technically it's not new, but there were some previous kinks that should be gone now. Download it here....Chipotle Redesigns Logo
From left: Chipotle's original logo, its pepper logo, and the redesign of the pepper logo. I think I had the same reaction as Brand New blogger Armin Vit to the redesign of the circular Chipotle chile pepper logo: I didn't even know the burrito chain had moved away from its original retro-shape-sign logo. The new signage and branding has begun rolling out across the chain's 800-some U.S. locations. [via Gordon Eats]...'Breaking News: Chipotle Employee Just Gave Guy In Front Of You More Rice'
The Onion: "Though it appears likely the less-generous helping of rice was a simple oversight on the part of the employee, and was in no way a personal slight against you, you reportedly cannot help but think that you deserve just as much rice in your burrito as any other paying customer." [via Eric Alba]...Would Chipotle Ever Sell a Breakfast Burrito?
Photograph from greefus groinks on Flickr During tough economic times, restaurants search for quick fixes to make up for lost revenue. Some options: extending hours, skimping on portions, and adding breakfast service. As a fervent breakfast burrito lover, I was curious if Chipotle had considered the morning menu addition. Currently, the national chain doesn't open stores until 11 a.m., but maybe they could set the alarm clocks earlier and throw some eggs on the griddle? When asked, Chiptole's public relations director Chris Arnold, had this to say: That is certainly something people have suggested to us, and something we have thought about ourselves. But it isn't as simple as it might look. Doing breakfast impacts our labor model (which...Chipotle-Tomatillo Salsa for Cinco de Mayo

Garrett, the blogger behind Vanilla Garlic, embraces all of the above with this chipotle-tomatillo salsa. It's adapted from a recipe by Rick Bayless in his cookbook Mexican Kitchen. Garrett entered it in an office salsa contest, but somehow did not win! We want more intel on this questionable other salsa conquistador....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
