Meet the man who spends $6500 a year on Guzman y Gomez
Most people might grab a burrito from Guzman y Gomez once a month. But Tyler Carroll, 27, from Brisbane, is not most people. He's clocked up 395 GYG orders in the last financial year – an average of 1.4 times a day, and spent $6500 doing so. He says he loves the Mexican fast-food spot so much he'll sometimes have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. His GYG obsession went viral after he posted on his TikTok with a spreadsheet breaking down his yearly spending. 'I went to CommBank, I exported all my transactions with the name GYG or Guzman in them … and I've eaten there 395 times,' he explained in the clip that now has over half a million views. 'That is an average of more than one per day … and that is six and a half thousand dollars spent at Guzman.' After the video blew up, fans were begging to know his go-to order. 'For breakfast I'll typically get a bacon or chorizo burrito in a medium meal with an iced latte … for lunch I'll get a chicken burrito bowl, no beans, extra chicken, and then for dinner, I'll get a chicken burrito bowl, no beans, extra chicken,' he said. If you're wondering how he can afford his takeaway habit, Mr Carroll's day job is in sales and marketing for the equipment rental industry, and he's also recently started his own marketing agency on the side. But he wasn't always this financially well-off. When he was 17, his family lost their home, and he became homeless, couch surfing while juggling part-time jobs and a university degree. After entering the property market, he managed to turn his life around. He now owns four homes and told that his takeaway habit is an intentional choice that gives him a 'little joy every day' rather than a sign of laziness. He estimates that his GYG spending accounts for about five per cent of his gross salary. 'So I don't feel like I'm giving up my property dreams to buy food like a lot of my comments suggest,' he pointed out. So why the GYG obsession? Mr Carroll says it's one of the few fast foods he can eat often without feeling sluggish, and as a keen gym-goer, he loves that they have 'amazing macros and calories,' including high-protein options. 'I've been able to eat it every day and still stay fairly healthy,' he says. He also claims he doesn't get sick of eating the same thing every day. 'I have never not felt like GYG,' he laughs. While his TikTok followers might be surprised by how much GYG he eats, he says his friends and family are used to it. 'They all know I'm absolutely addicted to GYG – it's almost become a personality trait,' he jokes. But they all share one gripe – the fact he doesn't use the loyalty app. He even makes a point of not using it, as he says the product is so good he wants to pay full price to support the business. 'I don't want the loyalty coupons,' he says. 'If I could pay more for my little burrito bowl of joy I absolutely would.' When he finally added up his yearly spend, Mr Carroll says he was actually surprised it wasn't higher. 'I actually spent two months overseas this financial year, so those stats are only for 10 months!' he explains. 'If I was here for a full year, it would've been closer to twice a day and $8000!' After Mr Carroll became an overnight sensation, he caught the eye of GYG Founder and Co-CEO Steven Marks, who is now flying the Queenslander down to meet him today. 'It's incredible to see a superman like Tyler eating at GYG so often but we're not surprised! Our guests are coming multiple times per week for brekkie, lunch and dinner,' he told 'Tyler's love of GYG is exactly what we've been saying for years, GYG is clean, healthy, fast food that you can eat every single day.' However, Mr Marks encourages fans like Mr Carroll to use the loyalty program, which could see him get about $400 in GYG credits each year.

Fox News 'Dolt' Gets Wrapped Up In 'Burrito' Dig At Zohran Mamdani
Critics are saying Fox News pundit Jason Chaffetz is full of beans for his burrito reference to criticize New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. (Watch the video below.) Chaffetz, a former GOP House member, teamed with host Laura Ingraham on Tuesday to spread more conservative alarm about Mamdani after he won the Democratic primary last week. In what was meant to be a cheeky musing on Mamdani's progressive proposals, which include free child care and buses plus city-owned groceries, Chaffetz delved into the sacred territory of burritos. Said Chaffetz: 'He's just like, 'Hey, let's put root beer in all the drinking fountains, everything will be free. Look at how I eat my burrito with my fingers. And trust me, he's in this fancy package with a bright smile, but that is not going to fix the problems of New York City.' Chaffetz: He's just like let's put root beer in all the drinking fountains. Everything will be free. Look at how I eat my burrito with my fingers — Acyn (@Acyn) July 1, 2025 Observers bit back hard at Chaffetz's suggestion that Mamdani would be a rebel for consuming a burrito with his hands. 'How else do you eat a burrito?' someone asked, calling Chaffetz a 'goddamn dolt!' 'I didn't even know people ate burritos with utensils,' another wrote on X, formerly Twitter One Mamdani fan remarked that 'their obsession with slandering him with the dumbest criticisms only makes us like him more lol.' how else would you eat a burrito???!? — pablo (@uid0sec) July 2, 2025 Of course us true blooded Mexicans only eat burritos with a spoon like civilized people. — Alex Florez 💙💛 (@KamiSawZe) July 2, 2025 Are people not eating burritos with their fingers ? — TrixstarRS (@TricstarRS) July 2, 2025 have I been eating burritos wrong — Jorge Ribas (@jribas) July 2, 2025 Peter Doocy Asks Karoline Leavitt If Trump Will Try To Deport Zohran Mamdani Kirsten Gillibrand Apologizes To Zohran Mamdani Over Anti-Muslim Comments The Final Results For NYC's Mayoral Primary Are In — And It Doesn't Look Good For Cuomo
