Started by a couple guys who are *meticulous* about their market
research. And every one has been stupid-successful. I've been to the one
in College Station (Texas A&M), and the line was out the door, and well
worth the wait. Makes Chipotle taste like McDonald's. Well, as it
should. Mickie D's is part owner of Chipotle.... Anywa, I'd expect the
glacial expansion. I heard through the grapevine there were plans to put
one here (Dallas), but put on hold due to the mushrooming of the other
burrito joints. (good friend's brother is commercial realtor)

great. Starving aHgain.
