Vegan eating in DC just got easier--and faster


   Sign at Chipotle in Dupont Circle, DC

Last week, Duccini’s Pizza in Adams Morgan started dishing out vegan cheese pizza, offering the first vegan jumbo slice in town—and this week, there’s more good news. Fast-food giant Chipotle launched a new vegan meat alternative being tested in its Dupont Circle location.

As posted by Chipotle on Monday (via Facebook):

 "Today at the Dupont Circle restaurant in Washington, D.C., we will start serving Garden Blend. Garden Blend is a vegan blend of plant proteins, grains and vegetables marinated in our chipotle adobo, then grilled.”

Garden Blend’s hearty texture makes for a protein-packed burrito, bowl, salad or taco that will please the palate of vegans and meat-eaters alike. And it’s currently only available in Dupont Circle:

Chipotle
1629 Connecticut Ave., NW
Washington, DC 20009
(202) 387-8261

Don’t live near Dupont Circle (or in DC at all) and want to see Garden Blend offered at a Chipotle restaurant near you? Let the company know that vegan options are in high-demand nationwide by sending an email or leaving a comment on Facebook.

    Holy crap seriously? I hope that Chipotle brings that out on a national scale, I don't have the ability to drive to DC due to my car not working.
