It’s a great time to be a hockey fan in North Carolina. The Carolina Hurricanes begin their Stanley Cup playoff run with a first round match-up against the New York Islanders this weekend. And our Charlotte Checkers will be hosting three games in Round 1 of the AHL’s Calder Cup playoffs April 25, 27, and 28 at Bojangles Coliseum. No matter which team you support, any hockey jersey you own is your ticket to free food at Chipotle.

Wear Your Hockey Jersey To Chipotle

Building on their multi-year partnership with the National Hockey League (NHL), Chipotle Mexican Grill is bringing back their popular “Wear Your Hockey Jersey” BOGO promotion to coincide with the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs. According to the company’s announcement, customers who come in wearing a hockey jersey are entitled to a buy-one-get-one free deal on entrees.

When can you score your free tacos, burritos, and bowls? The “Wear Your Hockey Jersey” BOGO deal begins after 3:00 p.m. local time on Monday, April 22 at participating Chipotle restaurants in the U.S. and Canada. It’s only good for in-store purchases, doesn’t include catering, mobile, online, or delivery orders, and is subject to certain limitations.

Although the NHL isn’t a sponsor of this specific offer, Chipotle is the official Mexican-themed quick service and fast-casual dining option of the league. That’s good enough for me. What would be even better is if the Carolina Hurricanes went all the way to win the Stanley Cup as they were projected to do at the start of the season.

North Carolina's Favorite Mexican Fast Food Is What?

It may not be Taco Tuesday but it’s always a good time for tacos. They are one of the most popular foods in the country and for good reason. In fact, our overall consumption of the Mexican food going up by 12.8% since the start of the pandemic. I know for me it was sone of the first restaurants I wanted to go back to in person, because queso just isn’t the same to go! (Neither is that extra large margarita). This prompted data analysts at the market research firm TOP Data to seek out the most popular Mexican fast food in America.

To do this, they analyzed a combination of GPS tracking data from all the major taco restaurant chains. Also considered were the results of a survey of 1,000 Americans. They concluded that Taco Bell has seen the most growth this year with a 4.5% increase in visits since the start of the 2022. But the most popular? That title goes to Chipotle Mexican Grill which won the top spot in 17 states.

Taco Bell was the runner-up, claiming the crown in 11 states. Others that won at least one state include Qdoba Mexican Eats, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Del Taco, Baja Fresh, and Taco John’s.
