Reader: Steve Ells is a visionary — but he’s a boring interview

The first Chipotle Mexican Grill opened on July 13, 1993 at 1644 East Evans. From that single store, founder Steve Ell built an empire, an empire based on the concept of bringing fine-dining standards to fast-casual — and also emphasizing locally sourced, quality ingredients.

100 Favorite Dishes: Watermelon and frisee salad from EDGE

Suffice it to say that I eat out more than the general population, unless, of course, the general population can catalogue more than 450 restaurant meals in a year — which is about the number of breakfasts, lunches and dinners that I stomached in 2012. Pathetic, isn’t it? But all…

100 Favorite Dishes: wood-fired chicken from Pizzeria Basta

Suffice it to say that I eat out more than the general population, unless, of course, the general population can catalogue more than 450 restaurant meals in a year — which is about the number of breakfasts, lunches and dinners that I stomached in 2012. Pathetic, isn’t it? But all…

Guess where I’m eating nachos?

I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for a great plate of nachos, but nachos, as I’ve pointed out before, need to have the right balance of cheese, chips and toppings. These nachos, which were a late-night snack from a neighborhood bar, weren’t bad, but they’re definitely not at the top…
