Back in our college days, a friend managed to both impress and horrify this DCist by eating not one, not two, but three Chipotle burritos in one sitting. This Takeru Kobayashi-esque feat wasn’t accomplished by a friend of unusual heft, but a relatively slender female athlete who’d been claiming she was capable of it for months. It was amazing to see the three foil wrapped monstrosities disappear in just under 45 minutes, washed down by a diet Coke. We weren’t with our friend later that evening, but heard that she was suffering from some variation on Chinese Food Syndrome.
If you’re looking to impress some friends with a similar feat, it’s the week to do it. Welcome back all those pounds you’ve shed trying to look good in a bathing suit by taking advantage of Chipotle’s “Summer Soul-stice” deal. Indulge your burrito craving, save your receipt, and get a free burrito at Chipotle any time through June 26. If you eat enough burritos — or manage to collect receipts from other customers — DCist suggests an old fashioned eating contest. We’ll even referee. Not down for such a celebration of Western excess? Consider giving your receipt away to someone who needs it. Sure, it may not be the best quality food, but for those in need, a Chipotle burrito could go a long way.
