TASTING TABLE – McDonald’s Egg McMuffin comprises an egg patty with lean Canadian bacon and American cheese, all housed in a buttered, toasted English muffin.
However, when paired side-by-side with other competitor fast food breakfast sandwiches, it sadly got overshadowed and lost in the mix.
In addition to being somewhat forgettable, the Egg McMuffin could also be a little heartier and a little cheaper.
The price has jumped to nearly $5 after tax, hardly making it the value meal Ronald McDonald once advertised. [Five bucks? That’s a bargain based on the price we found today on the McDonald’s website. – HEADLINE HEALTH]
Wendy’s sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit follows a similar format. It stuffs a savory, peppery sausage patty, an egg patty, and American cheese between a sliced buttermilk biscuit – and that biscuit both steals the show and edges Wendy’s breakfast sando out over McDonald’s.
On both flavor and texture, Wendy’s biscuit dominated the competition, bringing up the average of the entire sandwich and making the sausage, egg, and cheese greater than the sum of its parts.
Comparatively, noted our reviewer, Wendy’s biscuit “was noticeably lighter in both color and texture [than Burger King’s], with a rich golden crust.
It was much fluffier than its rival’s and buttery enough to crumble into each bite. Wendy’s slid past McDonald’s all thanks to that perfect biscuit.
I’m usually a huge English muffin cheerleader, but it’s possible Wendy’s biscuit could have redeemed the McMuffin” …
