What was your costume this year?
As I was walking through Rogers Park last night looking for dinner, I passed hundreds of children and their parents who were trick-or-treating. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat jealous... if there's one thing I've always loved about Halloween, it's the free candy.
I happened to turn a corner onto Sheridan Road, and I saw a long line of College students coming out of Chipotle. Normally I would have kept walking to find food with a shorter line. However, upon seeing two hundred college kids dressed in Tin Foil, I was a little intrigued.
Apparently, Chipotle had a promotion for Halloween - dress up in tin Foil, and get a Free Burrito. As I laughed at the silly (and pathetic) costumes, one of the students offered me some tin foil so I could get my free burrito. "Free" is a word I have a hard time saying no to.
We waited in line for about a half hour before finally getting to order... well worth the wait for a free meal. I don't know how much this promotion pays off for Chipotle - particularly on a college campus. But on Halloween, I won't argue with free food.
