It's all garbage, I'd never eat it.
As they should. Food safety should be the #1 priority for restaurants. No one should have to fear that their burrito could hospitalize (or worse, kill) them.I'm thinking Chipotle is going to have a bit of an uphill climb on this one.
I'm just going to leave this here.

Kind of reflects how I feel about Chipotle and their stance on GMO and organic food.

Good to see they won't pass on that cost to customers.
Dow, a lawyer who is serving as local counsel in the case, said her three teenage boys — who “do sports and are often starving” — used to eat at the popular restaurant two or three times a week. She believed the offerings there were more healthful than other fast-food options. “We believed in the brand,” she said. “I feel a little duped.”Keough had a burrito at Chipotle on Dec. 4, and began throwing up early the next morning, Dow said in a phone interview. By about 1 p.m., Dec. 5, “he was so sick he was almost catatonic,” she said. “He was sheet white. His heart was racing.” The family took him to Boston Children’s Hospital where he was given fluids and an antinausea medicine, which cost the family a $350 copayment. Keough described the pain of norovirus as being 10 times worse than a recent bout of appendicitis, Dow said.
In regards to Chipotle's E. coli O26 outbreak, 52 people were infected and roughly 40% (20 total) had to be hospitalized. Why should someone, who reasonably expects that eating a meal at a restaurant shouldn't put them in the hospital, have to foot that bill ... especially when said restaurant was at fault?I should have sued cucina bravo for giving me food poisoning in 2007. Jerks.

When eating out and acquiring food poisoning, it's almost always the fault of the restaurant. Not sure why there shouldn't be some sort* of punishment for their failure to follow proper protocols.
*I'm not saying sue them for millions, but penalties should be issued especially for flagrant rule violations ... otherwise it'll just happen again.

I guess it's sort of pedantic since it's on them to check their supply chain as well, but the fault could lie with the supplier - especially with raw vegetables. Even if you wash something like spinach/lettuce/sprouts, you might not be able to wash off sufficient bacteria to prevent some people from getting sick.
I had bad shrimp at Chili's awhile back and thought I was going to die that night. I didn't know I could sue them for all this!

It depends.
Restaurants aren't automatically liable for someone getting sick from food poisoning. If the restaurant didn't follow their own procedures for handling/preparing food or if they didn't take reasonable efforts to handle/prepare the food (examples -- leaving raw meat at room temperature or not cleaning after processing raw meat), the restaurant could be responsible.
It's actually common sense. If the restaurant isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing and people get sick, the restaurant should be responsible. People shouldn't generally recover incredibly large sums of money unless something incredibly bad happens (like someone dying, which can unfortunately happen).
