Hillary Clinton goes unnoticed at Chipotle
Hillary Clinton made a surprise pit stop on the first road trip of her freshly announced presidential campaign, visiting an Ohio Chipotle on Monday.
Charles Wright, manager of the Maumee, Ohio, Tex-Mex fast-food restaurant, told ABC News that no one recognized Clinton, who wore sunglasses and ordered a chicken bowl with guacamole, a chicken salad and fruit juice.
“She got great food,” Wright said. “Everybody loves Chipotle.”
Wright provided security camera footage to political journalists trying to track the former secretary’s "Scooby” van during its nearly 1,000-mile trek from New York to Iowa.

Hillary may have gone unnoticed at Chipotle, but news of her surprise pit stop certainly did not, as the national media picked apart her order.
Hillary Clinton passed her first real test of the primary season: she ordered wisely at Chipotle. http://t.co/DUdgvLSYs6

Chicken burrito bowl is an amateur order, though. Only acceptable meat orders at Chipotle are carnitas and barbacoa. http://t.co/KNouEPcksN

Had he been along for ride, @billclinton would not only still be at that Chipotle, he would have somehow known 1/3 of the people there.

Just too bad Rubio didn’t have a well edited video followed by a recycled van tour and Chipotle stop. The press would be in thigh sweats.

Kind of amazing that Hillary goes into Chipotle in most critical swing state and doesn’t talk to anybody. Isn’t she running for something?

Late Sunday, Clinton tweeted a photo taken at a Pennsylvania gas station, where she posed with a family.
Road trip! Loaded the van & set off for IA. Met a great family when we stopped this afternoon. Many more to come. -H pic.twitter.com/5Va7zeR8RP
