This matched my anecdotal experience. I find a Chipotle burrito bowl, the way I "construct" it (1), to be fairly healthy and a relative bargain. I order it with a glass of water (into which I can squeeze a "free" lime wedge, if I choose).
I guess I'm being subsidized particularly by all the families whose kids insist on sodas.

1) And as I understand it, this is another popular aspect of modern dining: The ability to "construct" the order you "want". I think I've read that, although I don't know all of the financial ramifications, from the industry's perspective.
- ggg9990 8y agoThe “construction” is a cost optimization pioneered by Benihana. Instead of having 12 menu items based on 12 different ingredients, which would end up with more wastage at the end of the day (or running out of product if you kept smaller inventories), you provide 12 menu items by combining one of 3 choices with one of 4 choices. Boom, you’re only inventorying 7 items now.
