Per the advice of one of my favorite comedians, Doug Benson, I had my first McDonald's McGriddles experience yesterday, and here's my two cents.
The Positive:
1. The flavors work well together. I mean, what could go wrong with a syrup-infused bun made out of pancake batter?
2. The savory egg and cheese did a good job balancing the sweet of each McGriddle.
3. The sandwich seemed more portable than an egg and cheese biscuit. I wasn't worried about crumbs falling and leaving oil stains on a nice shirt or tie.
The Negative:
1. The McGriddle buns were cold. (I'll chalk this up to the fact that I ordered this at 10:26 AM, four minutes before the breakfast cut-off.)
2. As you can see from the photo, the bun was smushed just a tad.
Verdict:
According to food scientists, there is an optimal combination of ingredients that makes food highly palatable - sugar, salt, fat, flavor, and texture - and delicious. McGriddles packs a hyper-palatable punch using sweet and savory flavors combined with a pancake bun you can't get anywhere but McDonald's.
"Resistance is futile!"
