¡Salsa!

There is a big conspiracy theory going on with the salsa at Chipotle. Everyone is calling it all these different names, but is there a specific name for the mild salsa, or is it pico de guyo? Well, in this blog I will inform you on the correct names of the salsa so you will never be confused again.


Mild: Everyone calls this salsa pico de guyo, but it is in fact not because it does not have garlic in it. It is just simple mild salsa.
Tomatillo Green-Chili Salsa: This salsa has a nice smoky, rich flavor to it. It is my personal favorite. It is otherwise known as medium.
Tomatillo Red-Chili Salsa: This is the hottest salsa chipotle uses. This is otherwise just known as hot salsa.
Roasted Chili Corn: This is the corn mix. But it is also otherwise known as medium chili-corn.
Fajitas: These are the roasted pepper and onions. Some call them veggies, some ask for the peppers, but the actual term is fajitas (according to chipotle).

Food With Integrity

The food served at this restaurant is not your average food that you can get just anywhere. In fact there is a lot more to the food than what meats the eye. The animals we are eating are being fed natural ingredients resulting in the most natural food we can eat. Typical fast food restaurant serve many things in their food to help preserve the food to make it last. Here are a list of these things:

• High Fructose Corn Syrup: This is an additive that is added in things such as protein bars and many candies. This, along with everything else in this list is very unhealthy.
• Food Dyes: There are many dyes that are added to food to enhance the color and attract more costumers. But this cannot be healthy to eat on a daily basis.
• Monosodium Glutamate: the popular amino acid that’s so flavor-enhancing that it literally makes you see spots. Excess eating of this could result in eye distortion.
• Sodium Nitrate: This is added to things such as bacon, ham, hot dogs, and other processed meats. It's carcinogenic on the human digestive system.
• Potassium Bromate: A common additive that boosts the volume of bread products made with refined, white flour, potassium bromate might give that crusty roll extra softness in the middle
• Sulfur Dioxide: additives is considered so toxic that the FDA actually banned its use in soda, beer, juice, vinegar, and dried fruits
• Sodium Sulfite: This helps produce drinks such as wine.
• BHA and BHT: Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydrozyttoluene (BHT) are commonly added to foods to prevent spoilage as far as taste and color
• Aspartame: This poison is added to things that typically say "sugar free" or "diet soda" It has been linked to brain tumors, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.
  

Get Together

On February 8th of 2016 chipotle will be having a mandatory meeting. It will be coordinated by the CEO of Chipotle, Steve Ells and the Co-CEO Monte Moran. It will be through live satellite all around the country. I will be going to an AMC movie theatre, along with all the employees at my store and six other stores around the valley. I am very excited because I will get to hear the owner of chipotle speak live about the E. Coli problem going on. He will be informing us what was the cause of the outbreak and how to prevent it from ever happening again.
