| - This is STILL one of the better McDonald's locations in an urban location. They get your orders right most of them & prepare them well. This time, a little goof, one extra small Earl Grey Tea, Hot we didn't order. How terrible! We got something extra, free! I typically order Earl Grey, Hot with a LOT of milks, 3 or 4, when I'm not at my best in the morning, a little shaky. It fixes me up! But I digress. This is the typical mistake they *might* make--too much stuff, not too little. And they never ignore you or consistently get orders wrong (that's the specialty of the Weston-401 Crossroads McDonald's location :P) But I digress again.
Wanted to tell you about the new Zesty BLT wrap, a promotional item. Toronto virtually invented the BLT sandwich along with the Banquet Burger & we know how to do it best. Good green crisp lettuce. McD? Check! The lettuce was the best part of it, totally! My teeth sank into it, just the right texture. Al dente. VERY fresh. VERY dark green. VERY nutritious/healthy, everything a good lettuce should be. ;-) Full marks, McD. Bacon, the candy of meats? Crispy, but not TOO crispy. But not full flavoured, so not full marks. Maybe 8 out of 10. What about the T part? Good Grief, Charlie Brown! McD Ingram forgot to add any tomatoes!! Well, I don't want 'em anyway if they are hothouse grown tasteless pink bicycle tires (TY George Carlin, for that image!). I prefer heirloom, field grown tomatoes. Yellow ones, grape tomatoes, and the ultimate tomato taste: kumato! (If you see brownish olive tomatoes at the supermarket and labelled kumato, grab 'em fast & try 'em--sweet nirvana in your sandwich! You'll never touch a pink bicycle tire again!) I digress yet again. So yeah, McD Ingram, the wrap would have been better with the T in it. But it was still very very good on this big dumping of snow overnight morning. The Zesty part? It was supposed to have jalapeño mayo sauce. There was none. I LOATHE mayonnaise. Yucky calorie laden stuff with an aftertaste! Give my ranch dressing anyday! Flavour without aftertaste. On the other hand, I jalapeños or anything spicy, HELLO Sriracha! So yeah, it would have been nice to experience the Zesty part. But you know what? I didn't miss it! Cause the wrap tasted great. Moist enough to carry the scrambled eggs (which were done to moistness but the blob of egg was falling out of the wrap) but maybe that was the complicated not well designed cardboard packaging for the McD wraps' fault. The fact that I liked this new featured item on the McDonald's breakfast menu this much despite it being missing the tomatoes and the jalapeño mayo sauce tells me that Zesty BLT Wrap should be a keeper!
