Everything You Need to Know About Kernel, the Robot Restaurant From the Founder of Chipotle | Eater NY
"When it first opened in Denver in 1993, Chipotle Mexican Grill was unusual in that, unlike legacy fast-food chains, it looked like real food you’d cook at home; unlike at home, you could have an order customized and watch a staffer assemble it. I remember it being called the anti-McDonald’s, and that its visible, customizable preparation model helped spawn imitators around the country." - Melissa McCart
