For lunch, I tried McDonald's new Southern Style Chicken Sandwich (SSCS, so I don't have to type it over and over again). It is my hope upon hopes that the SSCS rivals Chick-Fil-A's Chicken Sandwich (CFACS). Here's my review.
Chicken: From the first bite, I was pleasantly surprised at the juiciness factor of the patty. The Chick-Fil-A chicken is sometimes a bit dry and uneven.
SSCS 1: CFACS 0
Crispiness: SSCS were flying off the shelf. I had to wait for a bit while they made my sandwich. Unfortunately the freshness didn't translate to a crispy batter.
SSCS 1: CFACS 1
Pickle-Factor: While the McDonalds Pickle has nice flavor, it's not like the Chick-Fil-A's Chicken sandwich, which ingredients play with each other like an 'N-sync dance number. Could it be because Chick-Fil-A puts their pickle on the bottom? or the lack of mayo to bind everything together? I also found the Southern Style chicken Sandwich pickle too thinly cut and not crunchy in the middle.
SSCS 1: CFACS 2
Overall Taste: Diversification is risk. Chick-Fil-A only offers a couple items on the menu, but they're just so so good. The sandwich used the same bun as a cheese burger, so my tastebuds were a bit confused.
SSCS 1: CFACS 3
In Conclusion: McDonalds should stay with the all-beef-patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese... I just wish there was a Chick-Fil-A in the Chicagoland area. A guy can dream can't he?

I also did a test-run of McD's SSCS, and came to conclusion that it tasted very artificial...like cheap-factory lipstick. Fortunately, I actually live closer to ChickFila than McD's now, and indulge in a chicken biscuit every Friday. :)
I miss DC on many many levels. And I never thought I'd say this, but the proximity of Ballston Mall is now one of 'em.
When I first moved into VA square, there used to be a Dunkin Donuts (across the street from the Hess).
Oh the days of El Pollo Rico and Pho 75...
this might be your best post ever! it just makes me smile :)
Are you saying that my best post ever is about white chicken breast, sliced pickle, wedged between a hamburger bun?
