Chipotle CEO reveals his go-to order and biggest challenge of working behind the counter

If you’re stumped looking up at the menu of a Chipotle, you can take inspiration from CEO Brian Niccol’s go-to order: a chicken burrito bowl with white rice, fajita veggies, pico de gallo, and “a little” cheese.
