Good Morning,
Chipotle now makes burgers. You heard it here, folks.
On Thursday, Chipotle opened Tasty Made, its first fast-casual burger restaurant, in Lancaster, a town a little more than an hour northwest of Athens.
Rep. Steve Stivers tweeted about the grand opening and gave us a little flavor of what the restaurant looks like:

The restaurant will serve burgers, fries, milkshakes and soda, and will serve food prepared with “high quality ingredients that are grown and raised with respect for the animals, the land and the farmers who produce them,” according to a press release from this summer. Look at the full menu here.
The grand opening of Tasty Made comes roughly one year after Chipotle’s controversial E. coli outbreak that caused sales to plummet in 2016.
