Mitt Romney, who is in Denver preparing for the Presidential debate on Wednesday stopped in at Mexican chain, Chipotle, on Tuesday to enjoy some burrito bowls with Senator Robert Portman from Ohio. According to the Huffington Post, Portman is playing the part of Barack Obama.
The Huffington Post reported that Romney ordered Chipotle's signature burrito bowl with pork, guacamole, pico de gallo and black beans.
Portman ordered a similar burrito bowl with pork, salsa, brown rice, hot sauce and guacamole, The Washington Post reported.
"I usually get the burrito. I think I'll go for the bowl today. That's a good idea," Romney was quoted saying by the Washington Post.
The Chipotle location was at 7400 E. 29th Street in Stapleton. He will debate at the nearby University of Denver on Wednesday in the first of three debates.
The Denver Post reported that Marty Arts, the training manager of that Chipotle said, "We - the staff - were all really excited. "And we had crazy paparazzi people basically bumrushing the back of the line."
Romney and Portman took their burrito bowls to go.
Chipotle's first sotre was opened near the University of Denver campus in 1993. Now the popular chain has 71 franchises in Colorado alone.
Chipotle is well known for being a fresh and healthy fast food alternative. Chipotle's founder Steve Ells said on Chipotle's website, "When I opened the first Chipotle in Denver, Colorado I certainly didn't have any intention of opening more than just one restaurant. I just wanted to build a place where you could eat delicious food made of the finest ingredients quickly and affordably. As it turns out, it was an idea people could get behind."
