News: McDonald's Testing McBistro Chicken Sandwich

According to the Baltimore Sun, McDonald's is testing a chicken sandwich called the McBistro in the Omaha, Albuquerque, and the Greater Baltimore area.

The McBistro is being marketed as a bit of a choose-your-own premium chicken sandwich and features your choice of crispy or grilled chicken breast, a "thick slice" of tomato, leaf lettuce, white Cheddar cheese, and your choice of sauce in buttermilk ranch, chipotle BBQ, or honey mustard (i.e. the same sauces available for McDonald's Chicken Selects) on a "bakery-style" bun.  The tag they're going with is "Choose deliciously."

Update March 21: A reader confirmed that the McBistro is $3.39 and an extra 99 cents for bacon.  (I'm going to guess the $2.69 price I quoted from the McDonald's in Maryland was without cheese).

Here's my question:  Can't you already have things made the way you want it (to some degree) at most fast food restaurants?  I mean that's the focus of Burger King's current slogan: "Have it your way."

Still Curious?  Check out the review of the McBistro (with photos and a video of the local commercial) from the food diary of a reader via the following link.
