I craved and then I caved...

Had you asked me where I most wanted to go to eat these past few years there's a good chance I would have said "Chipotle". "Chipotle" for those who don't know is sort of like a Subway where your food is assembeled in front of you. Only instead of sandwhichs, it's Mexican food. And from a few years ago until recently I thought it was the best thing ever. Could not get enough. Found myself wishing I could eat at least 2 out of 3 meals a day there. "My" meal for those who were wondering, is the shredded beef, white rice, black beans, 4 scoops of "green" salsa, guacamole and extra cheese in a bowl. While I theorized for a long time why I was such an addict it came down to the combination of the mixture of green salsa and guacamole. So recently I was in town and it would have been inconvienient to go back home to eat so I thought, why not = and went to Chipotle. I hadn't been there in 2 or 3 months. A rarity considering I had at one time been in the habit of dining there at least once a week, many times more than that. My food was still tasty and I got the same options -- but it just didn't grab me, didn't addict me like it used to. In the past as I neared the end of my meal I would've wished for more, plotting my next trip there. However this time as I neared the finish ofthe bowl I was actually tired of it. Have you had a meal that you like sort of fade from popularity like that? I wonder what it is that makes us crave certain things. Like my ramblings about food?
