The power of the press, people.
Last week I mentioned that Chipotle was noticeably absent from the Irvine Spectrum’s free Curbside To-Go Program. Well, no more.
I’ve heard from the Irvine Spectrum people and Chipotle has decided to join the program. Now you can get Chipotle without ever having to get out of your car too.
Be sure to check out the original post for all the times this service is offered, where to go to pick up your food and see what other restaurants are participating.
UPDATE: Chipotle joins the program, woohoo!
Good tip: the Irvine Spectrum Center Curbside To-Go Program lets you get food from most of the restaurants in the center brought straight out to your car.
There are two locations. The first is at the Gateway Valet near P.F. Chang’s. If you order from there you can get food from P.F. Chang’s, the California Pizza Kitchen and Ruby’s Diner.
The second location is at Myrtles Valet near Dave & Buster’s. That location delivers The Veggie Grill, Johnny Rockets, Crepe Maker, Panda Express, Red Robin and Subway. No Chipotle. Boo! That’s one of my favorites.
Simply call ahead and place your order. There’s a sign curbside with all the restaurant phone numbers if you can’t search for it on your phone or you don’t have it handy.
The service is available from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Curbside service isn’t available on Saturdays. I’ll have to follow up and ask the Spectrum why not. Too busy, maybe?
Best part, it doesn’t cost anything extra.
Let us know in the comments if this is the type of thing you’d use, or if you’ve already used it.
Also, if you complain in the comments about Americans being fat because they can’t get out of their car to pick up their food I will: 1.) Be very disappointed. 2.) Start a psychic hotline.
Thanks to the great Niyaz Pirani for the tip.

Kula Sushi in Irvine. Photo by Ian Hamilton, The Orange County Register.
Kula Revolving Sushi Bar is one of the newest restaurants in the rapidly filling Diamond Jamboree Asian-themed shopping and dining center.
It opened just last month in Irvine and it already has more than 50 reviews on Yelp at 3 1/2 stars.
What’s unusual about Kula? You get your food from a revolving belt circling the inside of the bar. Almost everything is $2/plate. In essence, you just grab the food off the belt that looks best to you. I gorged myself there on four plates and a soda for $10.
According to Edwin Goei at the OC Weekly, this would be the fourth revolving sushi place in Orange County. The others are Sushi 5 in Tustin, Kura Sushi in Costa Mesa and Kaisen in Santa Ana, according to Goei.
Here’s what the belts look like up close:
Kula Sushi is located at 2700 Alton Parkway, Suite 133. That’s the corner of Alton Parkway and Jamboree Road.
