[quote=Anonymous]I have a theory about Chipotle and how these issues keep happening: the warming water bath that the hot food bins sit in.

I stopped eating there after I saw the worker grab an empty bin to switch it in with a new one and drip that nasty warming water onto the food bins nearby.  And then when he sat the full hot food bin back down, he let it drop and some water splashed out into the meat nearest that bin.

Nope.  No thanks.  I walked out and haven't been back since.

I told a friend this theory and she watched the next time she went to Chipotle and saw the same thing happening.  The guy pulled the empty chicken container out and dripped the warming water on the pico & corn salsas passing it down the line.

My aunt, who is a real chef, doesn't eat at these type places because she said the foods can't be kept at the proper temps.  She said the meats are kept warm, which is the perfect breeding temp for bacteria, instead of cooled and then heated with each order or kept very hot to ward off bacteria (that would make the meats tough).  If you give her the option of Chipotle or Cava or McDonald's, she'll pick McDonald's because while their food is worse tasting, it's kept at proper temps.
