McDonalds has been serving McGriddles breakfast sandwiches with two little pancakes for buns for years, and now the chain is taking its sweet-and-savory morning item to a higher level. Mickey Ds has introduced the French toast McGriddle for a test run at some 200 locations in Minnesota. Not only does this dish innovate by tucking the fillings inside two slices of French toast, it brings bacon and sausage together on the same sandwich.
Speaking of McDonalds, it seems the Golden Arches has decided its table service and self-ordering kiosks are the way of the future. McDonalds plans to expand both programs to hundreds of locations across California, Georgia, Maryland, and New York, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Look at these macarons decorated with far-too-realistic baby faces and have nightmares forever.

Here is Philadelphia Magazine columnist Sandy Hingston ranting and raving about how millennials are killing mayonnaise. This attitude comes to you from young people who willingly slurp down eight kazillion kinds of yogurt, not to mention raw fish and pork belly and, yo, detergent pods, so dont talk to me about mayonnaise, writes Hingston, a proud baby boomer. The only reason for this raging mayophobia is a generations gut-level renouncement of the Greatest Generations condiment of choice.

Eighties sci-fi horror series The Predator is getting a reboot, and the updated monster has some truly terrifying teeth that look to be well suited for tearing into large chunks of flesh. But, iO9 wants to know how this creature would consume everyday foods such as sushi, pigs in a blanket, and peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches. Does it toss the little morsels towards its hellish mouth-scape or does it use its hands, which it has, and which should mean it has no need for movable mouthparts? Does it use chopsticks? These are the questions that need answers.
And, finally, Bon Appétit has released its annual Hot Ten list, singling out its picks for Americas best new restaurants. A couple of restaurants from former Eater Young Guns Nite Yun in the class of 2018 and Colin Stringer and Andon Whitehorn from the class of 2015 made the cut.
I hope it comes with an EKG.
Meh, too complicated.
Sorry but pancakes/french toast + injected syrup AND bacon/sausage makes my So Cal raised stomach turn.
Over time I have gathered such gastronomic monstrosities are Southern/Eastern, just like the mash up of chicken and *shudder* waffles.
Edible Kosher Granola?
Sounds pretty awesome to me!
I wonder what they’ll call it in France? I’d call it “Le Marteau.” (A reference to one of their historical figures.)
Oi! I ought to have not opened the link about the macarons. While they are the one of the very few Almond-ingredient foods I cannot handle, I really wanted to see the baby faces. Bad mistake. Even if I loved macarons there is no way I would pop a macaron looking like that in my mouth. Talk about something I think Planned Parenthood would put out on the market...! Yech and double-yech.
Oh no!!!!!! Muzzies offended and rampaging in 3...2...1....
ING 5 oz. brewed coffee (strong and Tim Hortons' brand is naturally the best) 3 Tbsp dark brown sugar
(use 3 1/2 Tb maple syrup for a drink free of refined sugar) Tb vanilla 1/3 cup cream (coconut milk for dairy-free version) 12 ice cubes
METHOD Mix hot coffee, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir/dissolve sugar. Add cream; and cool 5 min. Add mixture to blender.
Add ice cubes Blend a min (in high-speed blender, pulse to avoid liquefying ice) Pour into cups, add straws.
“Speaking of McDonalds, it seems the Golden Arches has decided its table service and self-ordering kiosks are the way of the future.”
So now they wanna cheat us out of our brawls between workers and customers on YouTube! Just say no to kiosks.
I’d cut that into 4 pieces and then smother it in maple syrup at which time (something you can’t get a McDees) I would lay Six eggs fried soft over easy over the 4 pieces and enjoy.
It would be a breakfast snack ... if it was to BE breakfast for me I would do it 3 times.
I eat once a day and if is breakfast that means for some reason I did not sleep and the above meal will put me to sleep
except that since you can’t get the 6 or (18) over easy eggs at McDees I will have dishes to do at home (and I really hate doing dishes, especially when I am sleepy)
Oh well
...it brings bacon and sausage together on the same sandwich...
This is HUGH and quite possibly SERIES.
Oh, good, it has cheese on it. I was afraid they’d forgotten it.
Can I get one with a layer of french fries or hashbrowns?
Breakfast of champions. I have the McG at least twice a month. Nothing like those mamby pamby cereal eaters..
As a former canadian, I concur. When I head back to Vancouver, that’s the only coffee I order or Blenz, the other canuck coffee outfit. Heck, I even ask anyone coming back from up north to bring me 2 bags at least and I pay double..
Agree....
Tried a McGriddle shortly after they were introduced and just a couple of bites was more than enough for me. Sickeningly sweet. I’ll take a BK croissanwich with ham, egg and cheese any day...except for when it comes time to rid my body of them...that’s an uncommonly unpleasant experience.
I wonder if they still have the Saturday Curry buffet at Raffles?
Curry as far as the eye can see.
Curried everything!!!

I like it that way very much. One thing about McDonald’s - they know how to do research and adapt to changing technology and consumer tastes.
