How did Chipotle, apart from their giant Ecoli scandal, get to be known as healthy fast food. When you walk in they have the calories of each item in bold. These calories don’t differ much from traditional family owned Mexican restaurants. H\\ow was Chipotle able to gentrify Mexican food and make it appeal to the health conscious foodie.
