After I posted about the Shatto and Chipotle Freebie, I was contacted by Chipotle to see if I was interested in doing a tasting at one of their stores. Of course, I said yes.

First, let me say, that I am no novice when it comes to Chipotle. I’ve been eating there since they came to Kansas City over a decade ago and Hubs has been eating their since their start in Denver. Also, I used to work for the company that owned a major stock in Chipotle before they went public.  So, in my mind, I considered myself a  “Chipotle Master” of sorts.

Boy, did I have a lot to learn.

As you might have guessed or known, everything at Chipotle is made fresh everyday. (And they use some secret spice on everything – but I couldn’t get my guide, Chris to give it up.) But what I didn’t know, was about their commitment to being a restaurant chain that believes in having Food With Integrity.

What’s Food With Integrity?

It’s serving naturally raised meat – all meat in the Kansas City Market is 100% naturally raised – that is hormone and antibiotics free. Their cheese and sour cream are made from milk that does not contain the rBGH hormone. Forty percent of their beans are organically grown (and of that 40% many of those beans come from farms in Missouri). And at least 50% of their produce comes from local farms. In fact, their green peppers and jalapenos used in their salsa come from Twin County Family Farms – the farm I was able to visit this Spring.

It is because of this commitment to quality ingredients that Chipotle tastes so darn good. Seriously, there are high-end restaurants that don’t have this much attention to detail.

With all of these new facts (I hope they are new facts, because they were new to me) – I think you need to experience some Chipotle again. So I’m giving away 4 FREE Chipotle Gift Cards (each card is worth a FREE burrito, burrito bowl, salad, or order of tacos) to one lucky winner.

There are four ways to enter (and remember to leave a separate comment for each thing you do cause you’ll have more chances to win).

1. Leave a comment about what you order at Chipotle. (Ex. Burrito with black beans, chicken, mild salsa, sour cream, and cheese.)

2. Become in “Like” with Kansas City Mamas on Facebook. If you are already in “Like”, leave a comment letting me know.

3. Follow KCMamaKelly on Twitter. If you already follow me on Twitter, leave a comment letting me know.

4. Tell your friends on Facebook about this giveaway. You can either use the “Share With Friends” icon on the Kansas City Mamas page (under the icon) or you can click the “Like” button at the botton of this post. After you do that, leave a comment letting me know.

That is it. A winner will be drawn at end of day on Monday, July 26 and announced on Tuesday, July 27. Good Luck.

Disclosure: As part of my tasting adventure, I was given some Chipotle Gift Cards too. While the cards were a nice benefit, they in no way swayed my opinion of Chipotle. I’ve loved them for over a decade and will continue to love them for probably several more.
