At the summit, he mentioned to the audience, “It had been a while since I had the burrito bowl. It was good.” (via Bustle). His order of a simple burrito bowl proves his good taste, just like the others who prefer the same.
Lena Dunham
Lena Dunham celebrated her four Emmy nominations for Girls with a burrito. When she was asked about her plans for celebrations regarding the nominations, she told Vulture,
I’m eating a burrito. No one is going to stop me. I’m having a f*cking burrito.
Though she is not a traditional burrito enthusiast, she has a specific preference that includes a whole-wheat burrito with chicken, guac, cheese, rice, and lots of vegetables. She further mentions that she needs something from the burrito family that will satisfy her needs to celebrate her achievement in a “dorky” way.

To mark the beginning of their relationship, they tried a spiritual cleanse, which included a 22-day plant-based diet. To celebrate that, they went to Real Food Daily, a restaurant in Los Angeles serving organic plant-based food. During their stay, they chose to have a “supreme burrito and a veggie wrap with mushrooms” along with other items (via E! Online). Their choice of food order showcases their love for Mexican food. They proved how a favorite food item can be enjoyed even on a strict diet.
Although the news of Chipotle’s closing is a rumor based on a false report, fans of Chipotle have been quite frustrated about it. Many have taken to social media to post their anguish after the news broke about their alleged bankruptcy.

A spokesperson from Chipotle has recently addressed the rumors and false information spread by a Spanish media outlet Unión Rayo. Instead of closing, Chipotle is planning to expand its business by planning to open 315-345 new outlets along with a digital drive-thru Chipotlane (via USA Today). The food chain also posted its fourth quarter and full-year financial snapshot that revealed its entire revenue.
So, for now, Chipotle fans should not be disheartened as they are thriving with their business and wish to serve their guests.
