It won't last. Just like every other establishment that tries a nyc to philly attempt. Does anyone remember Good Burger? Exactly #FAIL
Go back to nyc, we don't like you.
Well, I'm looking forward to its opening. I like the business model – fresh, vegetarian, bio-degradable packaging. The decor looks a little stark and hard; that's what I hate about Qdoba. But I can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with the fact that the chain started in NY- good eating is good eating. I don't geographically descriminate.
