Last night I had Chipotle for dinner again: And today for lunch, we went to Qdoba: So let's compare the two. As everyone but the owners of these two restaurants will admit, they are very similar. But which one is more awesome, i.e. vegan-friendly? On the Chipotle side: 1) They gave me more lettuce. I still had to ask for extra, but just check out that picture -- there's a lot of lettuce.

So then I always have to ask again, and sometimes two more times until they will actually give me a satisfactory amount of lettuce. Why is this? Lettuce is certainly one of the cheapest ingredients they serve! I want lettuce!
