Now That’s Commitment! Brooklyn Nets Forward Mikal Bridges Spent $50k Eating Only Chipotle For Ten Years
Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges loves Chipotle. He enjoys it so much that he recently admitted to eating Chipotle every day for ten years. Bridges revealed his habit in a recent '10 Things I Can't Live Without' video on GQ.
In the video, Bridges says he began eating Chipotle every day in 2013 or 2014 and that it is a running joke amongst his family. However, this extreme creature of habit has stayed consistent in ordering white rice, double chicken, beans, and mild and medium salsa with lettuce on top.
After doing the math, Bridges has spent around $50,000 on his ten-year fast-casual Mexican experience, and that budget won't run out any time soon as he's on a 4-year, $90 million contract with the Nets.
Bridges is swiftly becoming a household name, not just for his on-court prowess but for his inspiring journey and the promise he brings to the team. Born and raised in Malvern, a suburb of Philadelphia, Bridges showed early signs of a promising basketball career. His high school years were marked by physical and skill development, setting him up for a successful stint at Villanova University.
At Villanova, Bridges became a formidable player known for his defensive skills, sharpshooting, and high basketball IQ. His role was pivotal in leading Villanova to two NCAA Championships, etching his name in the annals of college basketball.
Drafted into the NBA, Bridges quickly established himself as a reliable player for the Phoenix Suns before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets after five seasons in Arizona, which marked a new chapter in Bridges' career. Joining a team with high aspirations and a dynamic roster, Bridges was seen as a key piece in the aftermath of the Big 3 leaving.
As the season progresses, Bridges continues to be a crucial part of the Nets' success and Chipotle's.
