https://gma.yahoo.com/meet-guy-whos-eaten-chipotle-last-103-days-185820482--abc-news-Recipes.htmlIf you had the option to eat your lunch every day at Chipotle for 100 days straight, could you? More importantly, would you?
Thats a definitive yes for Mark Rantal, 30, who has done just that for the last 103 days straight.
The whole thing was totally an accident. On Monday I decided to get Chipotle and on Tuesday I made the same decision, then got lunch with my friend there on Wednesday, Rantal told ABC News. We laughed about it at lunch and he asked how long I thought I could go. And that began the thought....
Rantal got the same exact meal every time: a burrito bowl with white rice, pinto beans, fajitas, sofritas, mild salsa, corn, medium salsa, cheese and lettuce. No exceptions.

For such a regular, the guy knows squat about Chipotle. Pinto beans?! Black beans all the way, baby! Oh, and barbacoa, at least until the Great Carnitas Famine of 2015 draws to a close.
Oh, and I sure hope he turns out better than Jared.

Hipsters are all about the food carts.

There's a dozen little hole in the wall Tex-Mex joints within a mile of me with much tastier food.

Every day? I'd get sick of it pretty quick!

and relatively overpriced food.
Give me a good family Mexican restaurant any day.

(29,414 posts)12. While I do like Chipotle's vegetarian options,
there just isn't enough veggie variety to warrant eating there for 100 days straight.
Still, they do vegetarian fare much better than most other chains. They seem to understand we don't simply want either "salad on a bun" or "salad on a bun with a generic veggie pattie" as our vegetarian choices.
