In honor of Cinco de Mayo, let's review a restaurant as Mexican as our host is: Chipotle!!

• It's time to chat the Chipotle Mexican Grill dining experience, joined once again by stand-up comedian and Chipotle-lover, Zara Mizrahi
• What's the actual best restaurant Zara's ever experienced?
• The "art" on the wall is not art, no matter how badly it wants to be
• What's Going On Over There with the restaurant turning down the music as soon as we start talking?
• The number of government employees in uniform is Way Too Much
• We wanted to adopt our burrito-smith despite him warning me of a guac explosion
• The drawing for an all-expenses paid trip to Applebee's!
• What we ate:
  • Agua Fresca (Michael)
  • Sofritas Burrito (Zara)
  • Carnitas Burrito (Michael)
  • Chips & Guac (Both)
• "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to our YouTube to watch this episode!

Next week on "Fine" Dining: P.F. Chang's History [Part One]! I go deep into the lore of the most iconic American-made Asian cuisine restaurant chain in the country, and I bring Andres Simonian with me, in what might be a traitorous act, given he's one of the "Wendy's guys" in the current ad campaign they're running in Spanish-speaking markets.
