I Miss Only One Thing...


So life is good, I work, I work-out, and I get paid...but you know...despite the vast hoards of American chains that have parasictally invaded this country and created a universal love of the Big Mac, I simply ask "Where's the Chipotle?" My investigation led me to email someone at the Chipotle company via their website and here's what I wrote:

To the greatest restaurant ever,
I am a teacher in South Korea and in my conversations with fellow teachers about missing home, I realized the only thing that I miss from the states is a double-meat chicken pinto burrito with sourcream, lettuce, corn, and what I affectionately call "the brown".
Please open a Chipotle here in Korea somewhere. Anywhere you can but your best bet is in Seoul. They have everything. Even those jerks at Quiznos' have opened a store here...you're missing out on the action. I would devote at least 20 % of my paycheck and I'm sure I could create a slew of faithful chipotle customers enslaved, like I am, to the the taste of the sweet nourishment that is your burrito.Boy. I have tears in my eyes thinking about how much that burrito means to me....please open a Chipotle here...

or airmail a case to me please!

and here's the answer that this grubby, no-good, burrito-monopolizing company sent me:

Don,
We appreciate your enthusiasm for Chipotle and I wish I could tell you that we have plans to venture overseas someday, but I cannot. I'm sure it may happen eventually but there are so many places here in the US that we have yet to open in first. I hope that makes sense and hope you can hang in there.
Take Care!
Sincerely,
Dawn Dillon
Mojo Mama

Hang in there??!? Hang in there...its like being a crack dealer then telling your client to "hang in there" while you stop giving him his fix...you bastards....I'm not sure i'll ever forgive them for this...

but seriously...please Air Mail Burritos in Coolers via Express Mail...I have created (actually Jason Jang did...thanks) labels that you can print out and attach to the box so its quick,easy, and almost pain free. Sending the Burrito ensure you a hoard of Korean souvenirs...

Do the Right Thing!
