Instead, there were only fries, milkshakes and burgers for some of the first customers — billed as using “high-quality ingredients” but selling at fast food prices . Chipotle opened [the burger restaurant](http://www.tastymade.com/) as it looks to improve its brand and branch out after a series of food safety mishaps. “Lancaster is the ideal market for this because the people here really appreciate an excellent burger served at a reasonable price,” Dave Chrisman, a Chipotle employee from Ohio who oversaw the Tasty Made development process, said in a [statement](https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/chipotles-burger-concept-tasty-made-opens-oct-27). Chipotle co-CEO Steve Ells said the restaurant operates with an “advanced queuing system that uses heads-up visual cues” for cooks to make the food quickly, rather than pre-making frozen burgers. Ells, Chrisman and chef Nate Appleman led the company’s initiative. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4547827/chipotle-tasty-made-opens-ohio/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4547827/chipotle-tasty-made-opens-ohio/"},"headline":"Now Chipotle Has a Burger Joint","datePublished":"2016-10-27T16:12:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:38:05.965Z","description":"Tasty Made debuted in Ohio","url":"https://time.com/4547827/chipotle-tasty-made-opens-ohio/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Julia Zorthian","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/julia-zorthian/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4547827/chipotle-tasty-made-opens-ohio/","name":"Now Chipotle Has a Burger Joint"}}]}] ```
