Learn English – Is it proper to say that something from someplace “is” someplace

phrasesword-usage

I have heard many people say the following phrases:

Is that Chipotle?
This McDonalds is so good.
Is that Gucci or Prada?

I was just wondering if these phrases are indeed proper, or should one rather say:

Is that from Chipotle?
This McDonald's food is so good.
Is that Gucci or Prada merchandise?

Maybe both the case is such that both are in fact correct, or neither at that rate. Maybe I am not even considering all the possible cases, however I have been wondering for a long time what is the correct thing to say in a situation as such, thanks!

Best Answer

Is that (from) Chipotle?

Including from indicates the location or name of where you got the food. Without (from), you are just naming the food (Chipotle food).

This McDonald's (food) is so good.
Is that Gucci or Prada (merchandise)?

In these, food and merchandise as implied information can be omitted, as long as it is understood in context what is meant.
