Fans Couldn’t Be More Wrong About Ozzy Osbourne’s Chipotle Burrito Order
Seriously, please stop believing everything you read on the internet. Well, except for what I am about to tell you: what people are claiming is Ozzy’s burrito order is actually mine.
What’s The Deal With Ozzy Osbourne And Burritos?
Wrapped up in the coverage of Ozzy’s passing in July were various fond memories of the 76-year-old rock legend’s time on reality TV during the run of The Osbournes on MTV in the early 2000s. The show was among the first to depict a celebrity family living their everyday lives.

Ozzy’s quirky personality was part of what drew people to the show, regardless of whether they had ever heard a note of his music. One particularly memorable scene came in the second season, dedicated to Ozzy’s enthusiasm for Chipotle’s burritos. This nostalgic moment was something the Loudwire team discussed when brainstorming light-hearted ways to honor the Prince of Darkness after his passing. A simple act of grabbing a burrito felt like a fitting tribute.
What People Believe Is Ozzy’s Burrito Order
Like many Ozzy fans, I sought a way to smile amidst the overwhelming coverage of his death. I decided to treat myself to a burrito from Chipotle. Being a creature of habit, I usually order the same thing every time. I placed an online order for my go-to burrito, which included:
- White rice
- Pinto beans
- Barbacoa
- Medium salsa
- Sour cream
- Cheese
When placing my order, Chipotle’s online system asks for a name to identify each meal, so I added my wife’s name to hers and decided to give my burrito an alias: OZZY. I snapped a photo, thinking it would spark some fun conversations with my coworkers, many of whom I was just getting to know.
Why the Internet Is Wrong About Ozzy’s Burrito Order
After sharing my burrito pic alongside a photo of Ozzy on the Loudwire Facebook and Instagram accounts with the caption, “Our actual lunch order,” I believed it was clear that this was not Ozzy’s actual burrito order. My last name was even visible in the bottom left corner of the label.
Apparently, it wasn’t clear enough. In the days that followed, members of the Loudwire team began seeing numerous social media posts from individuals claiming they had just ordered “Ozzy’s favorite Chipotle burrito.” One enthusiastic fan even conducted a taste test while sitting in his car. While I admire his dedication, that was still not Ozzy’s order.
Instead, it was the order of some guy from Illinois who just wanted to infuse a bit of lightheartedness into his coworkers’ stressful week. My burrito order continued to spread, with a Facebook group boasting over 400,000 members inundated with posts from fans sharing photos and videos of them ordering my burrito, mistakenly believing it was Ozzy’s.
One individual from New Zealand, where there isn’t even a Chipotle, went so far as to create a logo for the burrito. Great effort, but still wrong. Another TikToker shrugged off the question of why everyone assumed Ozzy ordered barbacoa. Some fans even claimed the burrito was “pretty much Ozzy.” I felt a bit bad for the guy filming a video on his day off at Chipotle.
I do appreciate one video where the person acknowledged the order was merely “fan speculation.” At least someone did a bit of research before placing their order. However, he still proclaimed, “The Prince of Darkness knew how to make a damn good burrito” after taking a bite.
My burrito has even found a life outside of social media, as Complex.com gave it a shoutout.
The Right Way To Honor Ozzy’s Love Of Chipotle
It’s a strange feeling watching countless videos of people enjoying my exact order from Chipotle while claiming how much they love it. If anything, it made me smile (and hopefully them too), which was the intent when I first ordered under the name “Ozzy.”
If you want a more legitimate way to honor Ozzy and his love for burritos, consider signing a petition to encourage Chipotle to create a special in the metal god’s honor. Who knows, maybe we can finally discover Ozzy’s real burrito order.
Conclusion
The mix-up surrounding Ozzy Osbourne’s supposed Chipotle burrito order highlights the peculiar nature of internet culture, where misinformation can spread like wildfire. While my burrito may not belong to the legendary rocker, the joy it brought to fans and friends serves as a fitting tribute to a man who brought so much happiness to the world through his music and personality. Let’s continue to celebrate Ozzy’s legacy with a smile—and perhaps a delicious burrito.
