There's also a classic, which looked rather plain, and the Taco Stand doesn't do plain. I licked a little sauce off the wrapper - before I ever took a bite - and was like, 'Wow, that actually has some zip" - McDonald's actually came to play here - while the deluxe was as you can imagine, featuring everything else: shredded lettuce, tomato and a boatload of mayo. The spicy chicken sandwich was simple, with a wonderful sauce and pickles, perhaps to cool the bite. It was going to be a combo meal or nothing.įor the sake of variety - and some won't believe me - I ordered two combo meals, one the spicy crispy chicken, which I was leaning to, and the other the "deluxe" crispy chicken. I didn't see the chicken a la carte option available. Ordering this way, they steer you into ordering combo meals. (The "App Store" on my phone is actually the "Play Store" - who knew?) It was our first time ordering via Uber Eats, and the "little one" helped me. It's quite apparent, not just on the ads, but in the product. McDonald's "premium" chicken sandwich was always pretty dece, but they're clearly trying to up the ante here. Burger King? You lost me at hello 10 nuggets for a buck-fifty? Seriously? What's in there? Stew starter left over from Taco Bell? Arby's, Culver's (is there anything not good from Culver's?), Hardee's, KFC - when they actually seem to try - all are pretty good. Wendy's chicken sandwiches are the gold standard in this regard - this isn't some internal bias - it's reality.

And if you haven't noticed by now - on TV and radio - you know, with the "bum bum bum" guy all over the place - they've brought out the big guns. So I enlisted my resident expert, Emma, now 12, to get her take on McDonald's' latest salvo into the fast-food chicken wars, officially launched Feb. Too cute, but incredibly humbling to realize the power of symbols and mass culture. She couldn't see out the car sideways, but she could see a beacon of bacon in the night. I knew as soon as my daughter - 2 years old at the time - in her child seat - started screeching "Donald's! Donald's!" as we drove by - demanding to pull off - as we passed by on the freeway - that I was doomed. I don't need to look up stats to prove it.

When we do finally give in to the urge - or perhaps necessity - to revisit the "Golden Arches," let me tell you, nobody has the corner on the kids' market like McDonald's.

Once a month you go back to the well, you indulge, then say, "Why the hell did I just do that?" Taco Bell is the undefeated world heavyweight champion in this regard. We're all just so used to McDonald's, it's like they've got that secret Mountain Dew ingredient, where even if it's crap, you keep coming back, a better version, I suppose, of "what you crave." (I miss my West Duluth White Castle, by the way now that's crap.) But hey, it's usually cheap crap, a familiar kind of crap that we've learned to love and embrace because you like it and know that what you're getting isn't poison, well at least, maybe short term.
