Author Topic: Breakfast McGriddles - Does it get any yukkier than this? Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 01-25-2005 05:13 AM                        OK, I know I should lose some weight, so I shouldn't go to fast food places in the first place. But sometimes when you work through the night and drive home when others go to work, you just need a little bite to restore some of your energy, so you pull into a drive-thru and look at the breakfast items on the menu. After the considerable language barrier between you and the Spanish-only-speaking guest service representation expert has been bridged and the order handed over, you drive off and sink your teeth into the McGriddle, sausage, bacon, cheese and egg - IN A SWEET SYRUPY-FLAVORED BUN????? Who comes up with stuff like that? Do some people actually like it?  |  IP: Logged Chris Medley Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-25-2005 06:41 AM                        I have to agree with you on this one... A) it's just about the most unbalanced meal you can eat(other than Hardy's new 1600 calorie burger) B) it just tastes like sickly sweet crap  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-25-2005 07:15 AM                     Way too sweet for me, but they seem to sell a fair number of them. The McD logo branded on it must a point.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-25-2005 08:11 AM                     I tried this once many months ago when they first came out with it. All I have to say is NASTY! There's something really wrong with that concoction.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-25-2005 10:42 AM                     I tried one of these when they first came out, too. The only way I can describe the taste is "the end of a normal breakfast" at a real restaurant or at home... The end where the plate is covered with egg yolk, theres a part of a sausage link, a flick of bacon and a taste of a pancake left. Scoop everything up onto the fork, smother it in the yolk and you have the McGriddle flavour! =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-25-2005 12:29 PM                        I'm obviously in the minority - but these things kick ass. Of course, I am partial to the maple syrup ... I won't eat anything other then pure maple on my pancakes or waffles.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 01-25-2005 05:00 PM                        Hey, I like syrup and honey too - but with EGG AND CHEESE? At the same TIME?  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 01-25-2005 05:25 PM                     I have stopped eating mcdonalds completely. The only thing that I could still eat from there are there pancakes. As for burgers, sorry, I would rather go to wendy's and get real meat on my sandwich.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-25-2005 05:43 PM                     The first time I had one of these it was great as it was hot and freshly made. The second time I had one it tasted like it had been sitting there for a while and was only lukewarm and tasted bad. I dont eat this anymore with my new diet but I would describe it as ok.  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 01-25-2005 05:52 PM                        Back when I worked across the parking lot from a McDs, I tried one of these. I liked it, but I am weird.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 01-25-2005 06:44 PM                     I like the few others here actually like them...not all the time but once in a while is ok...but you have to get it with NO cheese...Sorry but cheese on a pancake is a big NO NO in my book. If I'm going to eat breakfast anyway, I'm going to BK, or a Sonic if we had one here. Gotta love the Breakfast Burrito at Sonic...mmmmmm long do I wish for the days of warm Arizona Mornings and a hot Sonic Breakfast Burrito. Now its Cold ASS Michigan mornings and luke warm BK.  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-25-2005 07:34 PM                     The sausage-only McGriddle is OK considering its concept (a portable pancakes-and-sausage breakfast), but overpriced.  |  IP: Logged Cody Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 214 From: Edinburgh, IN, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 01-25-2005 07:49 PM                        I'm definately for Hardee's bisquits and gravy. Maybe Because I work there...but man they are good.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 01-25-2005 07:55 PM                        I don't have any problem with the taste so much. But the "bun" required more napkins than they usually, by default, supply you with. Aren't buns supposed to be dry? Too gooey for me.  |  IP: Logged Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 01-25-2005 09:20 PM                        There is nothing wrong with the Bacon McGriddle. Tasty - tasty - tasty. I understand it is the least healthy thing you could possibly buy from McDonalds, but oh dear do they hit the spot at 6am while I'm driving to work. I need to try Chick-fil-A breakfast... I'm never awake early enough to try them whenever I'm near a CFA that serves breakfast.  |  IP: Logged
