Tough choice.

Even though I disagree with their conservative Christian politics, I will not boycott them (*) and support them. There is a lot about Chik-fil-A that I love. EXCEPT... You have to be very specific about what you want (which I actually am fine with; my wife is not) but, more importantly, the lines are so long! I am amazed at what they've done with the drive-thru. So, I do like Chik-fil-A, but have eaten in one only once or twice and the drive-thru maybe 5 times all because the parking and lines are a pain in the ass, but otherwise, I love it. Chik-fil-A is closed on Sundays too. While it's inconvenient, I understand, respect, and accept why.

But, I do love Chipotle even though the décor sucks in many of them.
Chipotle is where I discovered Topo Chico which is my drink of choice; I drink Topo Chico almost exclusively now.
But, I also love that it's the subway of Mexican food. Yeah, it's like Qdoba (which I also like), but the burritos I can build at Chipotle are quick and very satisfying especially with two Topo Chicos.

So, this is not a slight against Chik-fil-A, but I'll vote for Chipotle right now.

=====================
(*) A lot of people boycott companies such as Hobby Lobby and Chik-fil-A because of their politics, but, I am usually not such a person. I have made purchases from both Hobby Lobby and Chik-fil-A knowing their religion and politics. To me, the owner's personal beliefs are their business, so, even though such companies operate in the public sphere, as long as those beliefs don't adversely impact their products and services that I want to buy, I don't care. I think about it like agreeing to disagree. I have to do that with coworkers and their politics or religion, so I have no problem extending that courtesy to companies and organizations. I am OK with them donating to the usual causes that I may disagree with, but if they do or support something that I absolutely abhor, I won't spend on them.

For instance, I won't spend a dime on Jimmy John's. Even though he doesn't own it anymore, Jimmy John was a big-game hunter and I do not support that at all. I also will not buy pizza from Papa John's because he's an asshole towards his employees and vocal about it.

I also don't support My Pillow guy, Mike Lindell, because 1) his product is not really great; you can do it at home yourself and 2) he's fucking lune who needs go back to developing pillows instead of talking out of his ass.

Chick-Fil-A. Besides the chow, I love their real lemonade. If you order a soft drink instead of their lemonade, you're making a mistake.

Chick-fil-A. I haven't been to Chipotle in years, but remember just thinking it was okay. in my opinion, Chick-fil-A is one of the better fast food joints and I like their chicken. I also like how polite and efficient they are.

Chick fil a  chipotle gives me a stomachache.

OfDeath · Answer

I've never eaten at either place. I've heard Chick-fil-A has a bad public image due to some prejudicial social commentary made by their CEO or something. So I'd be wary of them until I got the whole story.

So I'll have to go with chipotle. Don't mind a bit of Mexican now and then.

slatyb · Answer

The owners of Chick-Fil-A support causes that are anathema to me, so I will never eat their boring chicken.

chiiiiiiiick-fil-a for their politics and to support them for being persecuted for their religious beliefs. I like that they're not open on Sundays. I like that even more than I like their secret sauce.

Ironic_Method · Answer

I like both, but the Chipotle close to me sucks. Chick-Fil-A is consistently good so it wins.
