I've noticed a lot of McDonald's ads (billboards in particular) tend to tout the quality of their ingredients such as "all white meat premium chicken" and "100% beef." And it makes me think, what did it used to be? Especially the beef... What was it if it wasn't 100% beef? Regardless, I'm not exactly expecting quality at any fast food establishment and when I think of McDonald's besides childhood memories, I think of convenience.Actually, when I think of my childhood McDonald's memories, I also think of convenience... I used to gaze in awe at the multi-colored rows of pre-made burgers that allowed for the fastest of service times. I also think fondly of 29 cent hamburgers and 39 cent cheeseburgers. I remember when the McChicken was one of McDonald's regular sandwiches and not relegated to a value menu item.
Nowadays, in response to customers wanting more quality, McDonald's has its line of premium chicken sandwiches and I had a coupon, so I tried the Premium Crispy Chicken Club sandwich.
I have to say I was a bit underwhelmed, but partially because I've never taken a liking to having cheese on a chicken sandwich. The Premium Crispy Chicken Club sandwich comes on a soft bakery-style roll with mayo, leafy lettuce, a slice of Swiss cheese, bacon, a crispy chicken breast patty, and a tomato slice.While the chicken was crispy, it could have used a bit of seasoning... maybe some pepper or something. The lettuce was limp, and the bacon forgettable. I'm making a note to myself to never get this sandwich again.
