On Friday, Chipotle announced the chain has teamed up with the Purdue alum to feature the Jaden Ivey Bowl. The bowl features white rice, black beans, chicken, roasted-chili corn salsa that’s topped with sour cream. On the menu now, the Jaden Ivey Bowl is $8.30 a metro Detroit Chipotle, but prices vary by location. The bowl is available nationwide for a limited time.
