Chipotle stock is down 14% today, down 40% over the past 6 months. Maybe people are realizing rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, meat and a tortilla wrap are not that much healthier or more luxurious than other fast food options?

What about Qdoba? Are they falling too?

Don't think Qdoba is public. Yum, the Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza Hut company, is doing ok, though. Better known as the pride of Louisville basketball.

That 10 dollar box has sustained me on so many days. Value.

Good concept, but my pizza tasted too much like the icing the time I tried it for me to care to retry. Doesn't help that I no longer have a college metabolism.

Wonder if tonight's debate will be as entertaining as the 2nd debate?

I voted already so I wouldn't have to care about the election anymore.

Good move. Keep forgetting. Maybe I'll go tomorrow.

It took me about 30 minutes downtown Raleigh. Way better than election day.

They are opening a Chipotle on Tate Street in Greensboro (our mini-Franklin Street). Given the popularity of burritos among college students, I expect stock to go back up immediately.

Of course there are also taco trucks everywhere now. They generally make a much better product for much cheaper.
