Chipotle fans have dubbed the restaurant's black forks "flavor enhancers," and for National Fork Day, Chipotle dropped an Extra Fork Collection. This online-exclusive collection includes a display box with 53 black Chipotle forks available for $30, plus two free entrée cards.
Chipotle Rewards members in the United States have the opportunity to win the Extra Fork Collection via the Rewards Exchange on the Chipotle app and website. From April 8th through April 22ns, Chipotle Rewards members can exchange 10 points for one entry for a chance to win.
For all the fork fans out there, Chipotle also launched new and previously sold-out fork-inspired apparel as a tie-in to the holiday centered on cutlery.
