At the risk of sounding like a complete philistine, I have to admit that I really, really, really miss Chipotle.
I don't want to miss it as much as I do. I'd rather reject that corporate beast and happily throw my support behind the little, family-owned taquerias around town. But damn it, that rice delicately flavored with lime and cilantro, those black beans laced with cumin, that devilishly delicious guacamole...I get teary-eyed just thinking of it. Can I get a witness?
The closest Chipotle is in Federal Way--39.1 miles from our place, door to door.
One night, after waxing poetic about Chipotle, we got it in our mind to go see a movie...in Tacoma...which, coincidentally, is only 13 miles from Federal Way. So, we couldn't go ALL THE WAY to Tacoma and NOT stop for a burrito. And while we were there, well, we might as well get two burritos.
Which is what we did—we ordered two burritos each--one for dinner that night, and one for dinner the next night (though SMH couldn't wait, and ate his for lunch).
As that great hair-band Cinderella once wisely observed, "Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone." Quoting Cinderella...who says I'm philistine?!

when the Bengals played the Steelers a month ago, Chipotle gave away free burritos to anyone wearing orange and black that Sunday. My reco: Spend this weekend in Seattle. Chipotle is probably supporting the SeaHawks and probably has a billion locations in that town. Hit every one of 'em in your green and blue :^) Free burritos for a month!
But maybe don't quote Cinderella...
