Ironically, Qdoba is a subsidiary of Jack in the Box.
The big difference though is that no one has died from the E. coli outbreak at Chipotle. At least not yet. The flipside is that the Jack in the Box incident occurred in an era prior to many pathogen screening tests being performed (especially on E. coli). Basically before anyone knew any better.
Since I'm in the food safety industry I'm especially interested to know kind of QC Chipotle does on their product or if they expect their suppliers to do it and if so what their suppliers do.
Regardless of the news, I'm sure the line was still out the door during the Halloween promotion. And I'll still eat there....probably a couple times this week in fact since it's one of the choices near the NJ office I'll be visiting. I'm just hoping the line won't be so long.

I have a few friends that won't eat at Chipotle because their marketing rubs them the wrong way. Like the GMO shit, as one example.
That's like saying"It's just a cannoli"
They're big on the local, no GMO, no hormone stuff. Outside of their hate for GMOs nothing they do really rubs me wrong.

It only rubs me the wrong way that their burritos used to cost $4.50 when I was in college. Then they went to all this natural antibiotic free hand fed whatever chicken and now it costs almost twice as much to eat there.
Give me the old questionably sourced chicken. It was still delicious and much cheaper. And you haven't even avoided giving people the plague through your more naturally sourced meats....
IMO Chipotle tastes much better now than it used to taste. I actually stopped going maybe 10 years back because the food was just so bland. I started back up maybe 3 years ago and I think it tastes much better. I'm willing to pay more for food that actually tastes like something.

i saw that the other day, decided to pass on it since every other time they've put out a big ass steak item for $5 it hasn't been worth $5 (the triple steak quesadilla, that steak flatbread thing from awhile back, the xxl chalupa, etc etc etc). saw your glowing recommendation, though, and decided to try the supreme one. fuck, that was good. really filling, too. first time i've spent $5 on a single item at taco bell and felt like it was worth it.
gonna try the potato one soon. gonna have them sub the chipotle sauce for spicy ranch, tho. idk why taco bell keeps pairing chipotle sauce with their potatoes -- its fucking gross. and the chipotle sauce and the potatoes are two of my favorite ingredients at taco bell, just for the love of god, not together.
also, don't forget tomorrow is"Buy One, Give One" Subs at Subway on November 3, 2015
buy any sub and a 30oz drink and get a second sub free

I'm pretty sure it was pork. And there was no recall, whatever that means for a restaurant (customers return their already eaten burritos?) they just decided to stop selling it in half their stores because they couldn't source enough of it.
If there was a beef thing that must be something different.
