I’m just going to say it. I love Chipotle. I think it might just be the perfect chain restaurant. Generally, I don’t like chain restaurants as much as I like local places, but when it comes to chains, I don’t think it gets any better than Chipotle.

We don’t have a Chipotle in Oklahoma City right now. I’ve been watching their development site and searching on the web over the past year and it seems they do have plans to build one here sometime, but there’s no indication of where or when. So, at least for now, my Chipotle experiences are fairly limited.

You know you love a place when one of the things you look most forward to on any trip out of town is the chance to eat there. In fact, this weekend, I just drove to Longview, TX and back. I stopped at Chipotle in Dallas for dinner on the way down. I stopped at Chipotle in Dallas for lunch the next day on the way back. Yeah, I like it alot.

If they do build one in OKC sometime and I can go whenever I want, will it still be as special? There is something about the fact that I can look forward to the next opportunity to eat there with great anticipation, but I think I’d be alright to give that up.

In case you’re wondering, here’s my order, every single time:

Three soft tacos.
One chicken.
One pork.
One shredded beef.
Grilled onions and peppers, corn salsa, cheese and lettuce on each.

And a side of chips and guacamole.
