Chipotle coming to downtown McLean

[Anonymous]

I know it's just fast food but it will be a welcome addition to the lack of restaurants in McLean. There are rumors that 5 Guys will be moving into the old Cicken Out building.

Where/when Chipotle??

can someone explain the appeal of chipotle to me?

This is newsworthy in McLean? Whoa.

Sadly, yes, this is newsworthy in McLean. I dont live there but I work there and there aren't many places to grab a quick lunch. It's opening this fall in the old Mae's Dress Shop location on Old Dominion across the street from Joe's Burgers.

Are all the Chicken Outs going? I love that place.

Chicken Out in McLean is reopening in the shopping center that has the Color Wheel in it. Many of the Chicken Out restaurants have moved or closed due to high rents.

It is amazing with all the disposable income in McLean that there is an absolute dearth of restaurants and shopping. I think there are too many senior citizens in McLean who think McLean Family Restaurant is good enough. Pathetic.

Actually, there are a fair number of decent places in McLean, like Kazan's, Tachibana, and Absolute Thai, but it's nice to live some place where you can usually get a table without having to jockey for space with a bunch of noisy college grads like in Clarendon. So we like to pretend that McLean Fam and Rocco's are the only places in town, hoping that you'll stay away.

But the HS kids will like a Chipotle.

You sound like an old fart.

I'm just explaining why people here are generally content to let windbags who probably don't live in McLean and can't afford it spout off about how "pathetic" it is that McLean Family is supposedly the only restaurant in town.

Middle-aged fart with diminishing patience for know-nothings would be more like it.

McLame isn't that expensive, compared to Mt. Pleasant or DuPont. That's the problem, people like you think you are somehow better or more successful because you live in that tasteless suburb, and the food does suck, you impatient middle-aged fart. You probably voted for Romney.

The median sales price is $548,500 for Mount Pleasant. It's $845, 000 for McLean. But most decent homes in McLean start at $1m, and there are currently more than 40 houses for sale at over $2m.

I think you're just talking out of your ass. People there probably ARE more successful, regardless of whether they think they're better or (god forbid) voted for Romney.
