I liked this sandwich a lot better than McDonald's Premium Crispy Chicken Club, the blend of reasonably crunchy bacon, ranch, and the lack of cheese really makes for a tasty combination.

I guess you can say it's pretty much a non-starter for me.

Review: Winchell's Donuts - French Cruller
My absolute favorite donut is the French cruller known for its unique shape and its airy texture. The French cruller is made from choux pastry which, according to Wikipedia, is "a light pastry dough used to make profiteroles, croquembouches, eclairs, French crullers, beignets, Indonesian kue sus, and gougères. It contains only butter, water, flour, and eggs. Its raising agent is the high moisture content, which creates steam during cooking, puffing out the pastry." I know right? We're smarter already!
I have no idea what profiteroles, croquembouches, gougères, and, kue sus are, but I love French crullers. Unfortunately, most donut shops don't make a French cruller, at least not the mom and pops around here (They are quite difficult to make I'm told compared to the standard donut.). Fortunately, chain donuts shops usually carry French crullers (Note that the French cruller should not be confused with the "cruller" which is just a twisted cake donut.)
And Witchell's being a chain donut shop makes French Crullers, although only on Tuesdays around Halloween so they can make Halloween donuts... Sad, I know! Mostly, because I went to two different locations before asking where the crullers were. In short, French crullers from Winchell's with maple or chocolate frosting equals yummy!

Review: McDonald's - Big Mac
The Big Mac is made up of "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun" as the jingle goes. The special sauce is McDonald's blend of thousand island dressing.
I still remember when Burger King came up with its version of the Big Mac: the Big King. I've seen Big Mac packaging change from Styrofoam clam shells (which were replaced due to environmental concerns) to a wax paper wrap with a paper ring to help keep the tall shape to its current form in a cardboard clam shell.
Suffice to say, the Big Mac holds a special place in my heart which I indulge every now and again. Especially, when I have a buy one get one free coupon! Otherwise, it's an average price of $3.57 here in the U.S.
True, it's not even close to the best burger I've had, but it's a familiar comfort food that brings back memories and sometimes that's just what you need.
