The Chipotle Massacre

Frequent readers of this blog will recall our previous reporting that trendy burrito-for-white-people place Chipotle changed their salsas for "more freshness". I've been shocked the past few days to discover that Romaine lettuce may be going the way of Ye Ole Green Chili Salsa.

Lettuce has always been a tangential ingredient at Chipotle; at both the stores I frequent, you will be asked if you want every ingredient short of the lettuce. I'll admit I don't get asked about the guacamole all that often, but it's a lot more often than lettuce. So, it comes as no surprise that Romaine takes the hit, but I'm in mourning nevertheless.

The last tin in the line at my current Chipotle is now filled with Iceberg, so-called and so-identified due to its pale color. Apparently, I will use more nutrients eating Iceberg than I will gain from it. And I am currently paying almost a dollar more for a Chipotle burrito now than when they came with Romain lettuce and Green Greatest-Salsa-of-All-Time Chili Salsa.

*sigh

Edit: Must have been an emergency thing. We're back to Romaine. Woot.
