A former Costco executive is opening a fast-food chain that's unlike anything that exists in America [View all]

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/former-costco-executive-opening-fast-165630658.html

A former Costco executive is launching America's first fast-food chain that has been certified organic by the USDA. ...

"Chipotle is a great option, but we didn't want to eat there for every meal," she said....

The restaurant's specialty is its spicy fried chicken....

The menu is pretty simple. Customers can get the fried chicken with a range of sauces on a bun, a multigrain wrap, or in a bowl with shredded vegetables. The only side available is organic popcorn covered in caramel and drizzled with chocolate.

"Chipotle is a great option"?! One hopes that Organic Coup will not make people

the way Chipotle does!
