I've had a dream...a dream for a number of years. That dream is the culmination of being able to feast on quality burrito and taco goodness from
Chipotle, a chain of Mexican restaurants in the US. For too long Canadians like myself have been burdened with the sub-par crap served to us from places like Taco Bell and Taco Time...as if Canadians wouldn't understand what Mexican food was unless the word "Taco" was in the name.
This has become front and center to me since joining the Twitter Tribe and being inundated daily with taunts from my American brethren:
"Going to Chipotle for lunch."
"Eating three steak tacos with guac and salsa...being American is awesome!"
"Hey D'Arcy, do you have lunch plans? We're going to Chipotle."
"Feeling like Chipotle today"
"We have too many Chipotles...let's go burn some down." *
"I almost went to Chipotle today, but then thought 'na...I'll just piss of Canadians by going to Subway instead.' "
"OMG, I'm in my bathtub right now covered with salsa and sour cream, and rubbing a Chipotle burrito on my belly." **
Well I've had it...its time for action, and the *best* way to spring to action is obviously...AN ONLINE PETITION!
So if you share my dream of seeing a Chipotle in every Canadian city then
SIGN MY PETITION! Together we can bring quality quick-service Mexican food to the throngs of Canadians drowning in sub-par refried bean hell!

*Note - Ok, this was an exageration...no Chipotle's were burnt down to think the numbers...at least to my knowledge.
** Note - Oddly enough, this comment came from
Donald Belcham...I tried to tell him that Chipotle wasn't in Edmonton, but that didn't seem to matter.
