What is all the hype with chipotle though?

That good?


It's aight. I go there once in a while but not often. Lots of choices for Mexican food where I live. But a friend of mine eats Chipotle pretty much every day. I just remembered Danny Ainge loves that place too lol. It was a thing when he was in Boston.

Which do you like better? Chipotle or WS?


Sadly Mexican food is crap in Canada. This despite immigration in recent years that's brought latino population in Toronto to be about the same on % basis as Los Angeles!!! (yes to my huge surprise! imagine Toronto with that many latinos!) I don't think any of those chains are here. And Mexican food still isn't as big here, YET.

Damn, Nembhard and Haliburton are playing really well. Heck, so is McConnell.

The Pacers are a handful. They just don't stop scoring.

Cavs look insanely sloppy and are making some very questionable decisions.

Last post-season as well. Guy turns it up in the playoffs.

Carlisle is the real deal man.

Mathurin's been a mess out there (until that wing three).

The Pacers have a lot of room to shoot on the perimeter.

Best time to get that Cavs -1.5 line before they make that big rally (i think early 3rd)

Wingstop is far better than Chipotle, unless you're one of those "healthy" people

I switched over to Qdoba from Chipotle awhile ago though.
