McDonald's: Deluxe McCrispy: It's interesting to me McDonald's has dominated fast food landscape for as long and hard as they have. It's true that sometimes you can get a craving for something of theirs and simply have to go, because a lot of their items just have a signature flavor that's hard to replicate elsewhere. But honestly, if I had to eat at McDonalds on a regular basis it would be a pretty terrible experience. It's some of the most ho hum food out there once you get beyond the nostalgia factor, outside of maybe the McNuggets.

They officially adopted this "McCrispy" name fairly recently for what they brought out to combat Popeye's in the war, initially it was simply "Crispy Chicken Sandwich". Mostly just a marketing ploy to help sell this sandwich, it's that same base recipe they first introduced a couple of years ago. I feel like this is only the second time I've ordered this; the first of course being the product launch. I didn't like it good enough back then to order it again, and not much has changed. It's McDonald's; like all their sandwiches it's quite small and leaves you feeling bad for thinking you needed two of them when in reality their sandwich is probably around 2/3rds the size of competition. Not a lot of flavor here either, just very bland and unappealing in seasoning. It wasn't too dry and I wouldn't call it nasty either, but pretty dull and lifeless for sure. It's a slightly larger McChicken, and to be honest I'd have rather just had that since the mayonnaise is more flavorful than the meat.
