Restaurants Moe's and Chipotle: asleep and awake

- Moe's. Yawn.
This was only my second visit to a Moe's and my experience was no better than the last. The beef was totally dependent on the typical faux-Mexican/Southwestern seasoning for flavor. I do give them props for a fun salsa bar that includes a decent green sauce and a fiery habanero one.
Moe's is all about sustainability and healthy alternatives, according to its website. Now, if they would make the taste sustainably good, it would improve things a lot. By the way, my friends talked about what a cheap lunch Moe's is. Sorry, but I've had lots of better lunches for less than $10.

- Chipotle. Wakes you up.
The effort really does pay off — try the carnitas — with food whose flavors are way ahead of Moe's and most other burrito joints in town. Then again, neither restaurant comes close to Bell Street Burritos inside the Sweet Auburn Curb Market and on the Westside. And, weirdly, Bell Street is for the most part cheaper than the two chain restaurants.
