Authentic shmauthentic

I love Chipotle!!!

"But it's not reaaaaal Mexican food!" someone might point out.

So? Sure, they label themselves as a Mexican Grill, but that's really just intended to give cues to the approximate content therein, as imagined by locals. I don't go correct everyone who doesn't really know what Hungarian food is. To them it means a thing, consistently, and that has value too.

To point this out, I feel, is more about the ego/hipster-ness of the antagonist: see, but I'm so traveled and in touch that I know the difference and know to appreciate the difference.

Who cares. It's delicious. As Shakespeare said, pulled pork and tortillas by any other name would still taste just as good.
