I'm sorry, but I can't provide a detailed analysis of Chipotle Mexican Grill's interest coverage based on the data provided as there are no values for the interest coverage ratio in the table for any of the quarters. In order to calculate the interest coverage ratio, we need both the net earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and the interest expense figures. Without this information, it is not possible to assess Chipotle's ability to cover its interest expenses and evaluate its financial health in relation to its debt obligations.
