Chipotle Adding Chorizo to Menu to Win Back Customers
NBC New York ^ | Jun 29, 2016

Chipotle is adding chorizo to its menu in yet another move intended to get people back in stores following an E. coli outbreak last year.

The chain says the topping will be available in select cities including New York and San Diego starting Wednesday. It expects to introduce the chicken-and-pork sausage option nationally in the fall.

Earlier this week, Chipotle also said it plans to launch a loyalty program for the summer that will reward customers with free meals for frequent visits.

The moves are part of the chain's push to recover after a series of food scares last year sent sales plunging. In the first three months of the year, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.'s sales were down about 30 percent at stores open at least 13 months.

IMHO - they need to give some of their employees a good scrubbing first.

Weird, we’ve had it in KC for months. I tried it, it’s terrible.

Those are a lot better than the bone-in pork rectums.

Nobody likes a pork rectum with a bone in it.

Most Gringos won’t touch Chorizo once you tell them what’s in it.

I ate it before I read the label and it was yummy.

I still eat it on occasion and it’s still yummy. Chorizo, Scrambled Eggs and Hot Sauce in a Flour Tortilla, Yummy...

I don’t always eat Pork Rectums, but when I do, I prefer them Deboned and Inverted.

I’ve enjoyed Choripollo at Mexican restaurants, but I don’t think I could enjoy it now that I’ve seen that.

A haiku:

You say "pork rectums"
But savvy seafood seller
Says "calamari"
