Isn't that interesting? The franchise best known for local ingredients, freshness, preparation in front of you and now it's crashing and burning.

Why not make a Chipoltes knock-off and side-step the franchise fees now that the name is tainted. After all it was what they served that was appealing. I don't think they had any secret sauce that could not be replicated.

And I think our restaurant club said Tomatoes had the highest rating. How about a Tomatoes down the other end of town? I don't know how close to the turnpike you could be but when we are traveling we would go out of our way for a fresh buffet.
