Wide-Eyed Chipotle Worker Goes Viral With Romney

DENVER (AP) — The manager of a Denver Chipotle restaurant has become an Internet celebrity thanks to his wide-eyed pose alongside Mitt Romney when the Republican presidential candidate stopped by for lunch.

Twenty-year-old Marty Arps struck the pose for a group photo with Romney and Chipotle employees Tuesday afternoon. Arps is seen making a wide-eyed expression while pointing at Romney.

The Associated Press photo is being shared extensively Twitter and is making the rounds on websites.

Arps told The Daily he makes the expression when he's excited.

Arps said he doesn't know yet who he'll vote for, telling The Daily that he's "not too hip to elections and stuff."

Romney ordered a pork burrito bowl with guacamole during the brief stop while he prepared for Wednesday's presidential debate in Denver.
