In more food news today: Chipotle’s free burrito assault continues; Starbucks launches a coffee-beer cocktail; Bill Clinton’s caffeinated beverage of choice; and why you should order the cheapest bottle of wine on the menu.
— Maligned burrito chain Chipotle just can’t stop giving away free food. Its newest promotion involves an online game that rewards players with a buy-one-get-one-free entree mobile offer.
