Chipotle is all over the U.S., but it originated in Denver.

It actually started in Denver in 1995, not California.

For Hardee's, I can see how you guessed that one wrong. For a little while(not sure if that's still the case today), the eastern division of the CKE company (parent company of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's) was based somewhere in the Saint Louis area. Not sure if that's still the case, today.

And page 58 of this thead and seeing that youtube video, was interesting. As I never was sure how to pronounce the town name of Havre de Grace(MD), till now!
I just want to point out that Chattanooga, TN is on the border of TN and GA.

HAV-r-de-GRACE. I think back in 2014 I said "HAV-e-de-GRACE" but I left out the slight R sound - LOL. But you won't get stared at weirdly if you say "HAV-e-de-GRACE." LOL Just don't say HAVVER duh grace!

Chipotle is a great enigma to me. I see a few of them here and there, yet I don’t anyone who eats at them? Everyone I’ve ever known goes to a local taco shop for burritos.

Hardee’s and their menu that everyone knows today is Carl’s Jr. that was started in Los Angeles back in the 1940’s. They bought Hardee’s in the 1990’s and changed their menu, logo, marketing, etc, to mimic Carl’s Jr.

I remember eating at Hardee’s when visiting family Michigan as a kid and it was its own thing. When I went back as an adult it was like walking into a Carl’s Jr. I was seriously perplexed when I walked in and looked at the menu board.

Replying in a bumped necro thread but….

In my zip code in New England, there isn’t a taco stand on every block. My town of 34,000 has one local chain Mexican place I’ve never been to and a Chipotle. When we’re in Colorado at our Beaver Creek ski place, we eat Mexican frequently. Here, basically never. The food quality for Mexican here is pretty lousy. I make my own rather than suffer through lousy Tex-Mex.

I used to work in Denver a lot. If I had evening conference calls to Asia, I’d occasionally eat Chipotle for dinner in my hotel room while doing my couple hour phone call. If you only have a few minutes between the customer site and your conference calls, you pick something quick. It’s better than the other fast food options if your hotel is in chain restaurant hell. With more time, I’d Google a local place.

We have one by me(medium size city in western Washington). Tried it and wasn't a huge fan. We have lots of authentic mexican food trucks and restaurants luckily which are all way better.

I prefer Moe's over Chipotle.

I used to really like Qdoba, but they shut most of them down.

I love Chipotle. Then again the Mexican food here is just ok. We def dont have the type of taco shops you guys have. Still, Chipotle is pretty legit. My husband went to school in CA & ate there all the time … we both love it here now too. It’s all like fresh & delicious.
