2) When they ask me if I want grilled peppers an onions, I'm always looking at the ratio, which is usually about 2.5:1, peppers to onions, so I usually refuse. But there was one time when the ratio was a rare 1:1, and I said, "yes," and it was great.
3) The hot salsa is the best.
4) Cilantro is better than lettuce, and I'm always on the lookout to see if that little cup is full, and then it all goes on my vegetarian burrito.
5) I try to predict how big my burrito is going to be by the end of the line, starting from the first scoop of rice that goes onto the tortilla.
6) The quick, casual fold of the tortilla makes the employee look either like a seasoned pro, or a sloppy, careless high school summer worker. Sometimes I am amazed at how perfectly it comes together, while others make me stare at those behind the counter, almost like I'm sorry for them, except for they just jacked up my burrito.
7) Is it a big deal that the pork is vegetarian fed?
8) Chipotle is not health food. But the hidden blessing of the really sloppy burrito wrapper is the double tortilla, 330 extra calorie burrito.
9) Steve Ells, the Chipotle boss, is a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America. Respect.
10) It's awesome.

I could not agree more. But you did forget to mention the "after burn" (the next day) that their hot sauce causes, which is why I usually go with a combination of the fresh salsa, and the corn. Also, for who cares, I have to suggest "light on the rice" otherwise the size just gets out of control. ("That's what she said.")
Seriously, vegetarian fed pigs? ;) It's like the ethical means of acquiring trichinosis...
