Do you mean that the style of burrito sold at Chipotle was invented by White people or that White people can't discern between an authentic burrito and whatever Chipotle makes?
Also, what exactly do you mean by White people? Italians? Spaniards? Scots-Irish? Your post is a bit vague.
Never ate at Filiberto's before, but I did eat at Chipotle today, and although I enjoyed, I just thought it was white mans version of what Mexican food should taste like, also nothing but white people their no offence to any of you white folks, but it's just not the same. I respect that they are serving healthier food, but it's almost as if they white man tried customizing to fit more of their version of what mexican food should taste like, it's not a true authentic "mexican grill" like it's claimed, also they had jamaican radio on .. Huh? As far as the food goes, I enjoyed it the burrito was ok for the most part really big, made of organic stuff, but it left me hungry an hour later not as filling. I thought the salsa was a joke tasted like lime tomato sauce.. I think this type of place would do great inside a Whole Foods market. I ate at Saidies and I must say their is no competition I'll take authentic new mexican food over any day over Chipotle.
It is the McDonald's version of Mexican food much as Baja Fresh is Wendy's version.
Personally, I cannot understand why people would choose Chipotle's when there are so many great taquerias around than can actually achieve a more authentic taste.
Amazing how much chest-thumping there is on the subject.
"How dare you eat that?! That's not AUTHENTIC!"
The fact of the matter is that one man's authentic is another man's bland. Sopaipillas eaten in the authentic way, dating back to pre-U.S. formation, do not involve honey. Are you going to forgo the honey next time you have one? I sure won't.
The din in this thread is now multiple people whining about others' food choices. O, how cruel life is that we have so many choices!
You can be an expert on what tastes good in the same way you can be an expert on politics or religion. It doesn't take any specialized training and perhaps that's the problem. It is neither smart, pleasant, nor fruitful to bash certain options, because you're no more right than the next guy from an outside perspective.
By all means, let's bring new options to the forefront. But if we keep in mind that maybe our taste buds are different from the next person, we'll help someone find gastronomic bliss instead of intimidating them away from it.
True, Mexican food has a HUGE variety of styles. What counts as a burrito in one spot would be impossible to find 2 or 300 miles away in Mexico.
Most people that love the mexican food over here are actually enjoying what would better fit into the tex mex category instead of actual mexican food.
You obviously have no idea the difference between Mexican, New Mexican and Tex-Mex food. You shouldn't speak unless you know what you're talking about.
