Finally, Chipotle restaurants are moving into Oregon.  Actually, this started more than a year ago and I salute them for it.  You see, I lived in Denver, CO for about 5 years during the time that Chipotle started out (I've been to the original hehe).  There you couldn't drive a few blocks without running into one, which was a good thing for this burrito junkie.  Then the tech market dropped and I had to move to Los Angeles.  Yes, LA, the city that sucks unless you're a famous millionaire.  But I digress. 

Upon arriving in LA one of the first things I began doing was plotting where the closest Chipotle was.  Luckily for me, there was one in Marina Del Ray, about 5 miles from where I lived at the time.  So all was good, or so I thought.

At the first opportunity, I got out of there and moved to Portland (and I LOVE it).  First thing I do of course, map out the closest Chipotle -which happened to be 3 hours away in Seattle.  NOOOOOO!  So began my painful withdrawal from their delicious burritos.  Then one day, while on lunch from my employer at the I passed a sign in an empty lot on NW 7th and Broadway that said "Coming soon, Chipotle".  YES! 

Within 6 months it opened and I'm glad to say that I'm addicted to their burritos again.  Of course, never being satisfied, I'm now asking the question, "when are they going to open a Clackamas location"?  I drove past a sign downtown the other day near Pioneer Place that read "Coming soon, Chipotle" so they are expanding.  I know of 2 Beaverton locations but nothing on the southeast side. 

The area I'm in is a pretty up and coming area (around SE 82nd and Johnscreek Blvd) and, in my opinion, is a prime spot for a Chipotle location.  So if you happen to be a mover and/or shaker and can make things happen at my favorite burrito restaurant, please open one here.  At the very least, you'll have about $10 from me and my wife every weekend

So get off your butts and let's get this show on the road already.  And if there are plans for one in Clackamas or if you know of a Chipotle here that I'm just missing, please tell me... please... for the love of Bob, I need one!
