Last night I was running a little late and decided to pick up dinner on the run. The McDonalds I passed didn't have anyone at the drive-through window so I pulled up there. But since I am trying to eat at least a little healthier, I decided to explore the menu a little further rather than order my usual #2 value meal (Quarter Pounder with Cheese for the uninitiated).
As I scanned the menu I spotted something that sounded like it fit the bill -- a grilled chicken club sandwich. Boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast with lettuce and tomato on a bun. "Order me up one of those," I declared.
I paid, picked up the bag with my sandwich, opened it up, pulled it out and took my first bite, which I expected to be an excursion to flavor country. Instead, what I found is that the McDonalds grilled chicken club sandwich tastes roughly like feet after three days on a campout. (Don't ask how I know.) In other words, it was awful.
I was hungry so I managed to choke it down, but every bite was painful. Look, I like to eat. It's one of my favorite passtimes. So eating something like this was torture.
I think the main culprit was the fake "smoke" sauce. You know the type -- it's supposed to make food taste like it's been grilling in a smoker all day. But what it actually does is make it taste like someone put crappy fake smoke sauce on it. Added to the bland chicken breast itself it left nothing to enjoy. And I'm sure the dollop of mayo they threw on there pretty much killed any health benefits I might've thought I was getting.
If living longer means eating food like that, bring me a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and I'll just check out early. Don't waste your money.
