Date Night!

Each week, my husband and I enjoy a date night. Tonight's date is going to involve dinner at Chipotle and a movie.

Here's reason 1,999,999 why I love Chipotle. They make it very easy to stay healthy when eating out! Even if you are not vegan, that's the one place where you can be as good or as bad as you would like with your meal. Feel like having a "fat" meal? Get yourself a burrito and load up on all the cheese and sour cream that you want! Want to make it light? Get a bowl and choose brown rice instead of white and black beans instead of pinto. (Just go light on the cheese and sour cream.) Or you can nix the rice altogether for a delicious no-to-low carb meal.

Anywho, I went online to see if they had any information for individuals on a vegan diet and OF COURSE they have a whole website page dedicated to "special diets"! Here is what they had to say:

No matter what your unique dietary needs are, Chipotle has options for you. Unless you have an allergy to delicious food, in which case, we might have an issue.

Food Allergies

We use no peanuts, tree nuts or any other kind of nuts in our food. Only our cheese and sour cream
contain any dairy.

Gluten Intolerance/Celiac Disease

Most people wanting to avoid gluten can eat anything we serve except for our large and small flour
 tortillas.

Everything else is fine to eat for most people wanting to avoid gluten, including our crispy corn tacos and our
corn chips.

However, you should know that it's possible our corn may have a small amount of gluten from potentially
co-mingling with gluten-containing grains in the field.

If you are highly sensitive and would like us to change our gloves, we would be happy to do that at your request.
Additionally, because our folks work with wheat tortillas all day long, there may be the possibility of cross-contact
in our restaurants. We encourage you to carefully consider your dining choices.

Vegan Options

You should avoid our pinto beans (they are cooked with a small amount of bacon), meats (obviously),
cheese, sour cream, and chipotle-honey vinaigrette.

Vegetarian Options

You should avoid our pinto beans (they are cooked with a small amount of bacon) and our meats.
If you do eat dairy, our cheese is made with a vegetable-based rennet, and our sour cream is 100%
cultured cream.
