Cramer's Lightning Round - Chipotle: Who Needs Overpriced Burritos? (1/9/09)

Chipotle (CMG): “No, come on…a high, expensive, fast food company, when I’ve got McDonald’s flirting with $60.”

We have two Chipotles in our town, and their business has doubled since the downturn. People even tolerate the fact that neither location has a drive through, they actually park their cars and come in to stand in line. And if your a small eater, one burrito bowl can serve as both lunch and dinner (at a cost of $5.40 to $5.65).

Get out of the studio and live a little man.
