"Southern Style Chicken Sandwich" a hit.....with me anyway.













While I often try to thwart my frequent visits to the many franchises of the fast-food industry with sad attempts at eating healthy, I can never seem to resist their charm. I am constantly pulled in by their tractor beam of tasty new menu items like Burger King's Indy Double Wopper or the Baconator from Wendys. Cmon could you really resist a sandwich with meat, meat and cheese? I think not! Very recently McDonalds added a new menu item of their own with the Southern Style Chicken Sandwich. While at first glance the sandwich seems like a sad and simple concoction, (consisting only of a breaded chicken breast filet and two pickle chips on a butter toasted bun) the first bite will tell a completely different story. As will the second, third, fourth until you've finished and realize, "wow that was a pretty freagin good sandwich". But where in the world did McDonalds come up with such an ingenious recipe? They copied it of course! Southern founded chicken franchise, Chick-Fil-A is the actual brains behind this simply delicious white meat masterpiece, and while many SSCS critics(mostly Chick-Fil-A fans) are denouncing the Micky D's sandwich as a frozen fraud not worthy of the two pickle chips, I say they are just haters who are afraid to admit the big bad fast-food empire actually produced a very tasty product (or should i say "re"produced). To McDonalds I say great job at finally making something I can enjoy eating, even if you obviously five fingered the recipe. Even Chick-Fil-A's corporate PR guy, Mark Baldwin was quoted saying "they did a good job copying our product". Thats gotta count for something....right.
