Serious Eats: stuffedofu's Profile

I have to say, I'm pleasantly delighted that most people on this site that caters to food obsessed people have come out in opposition to this idea! I completely agree. I am relocating back to the US (to SF incidentally!) after a year in the Netherlands. Let me tell you, the McDonald's I had in my city there were ALWAYS PACKED with people of all ages. Happy Meals were really what all the kids got, and yes, they came with toys. Further, the Dutch people loved going to "snackbars" to get fries and a whole bunch of other deep-fried stuff (sausages, croquettes...) Were all the kids fat? No! Let's get real - toys don't make kids fat.

Taste Test: The Best Fast-Food Breakfast Sandwiches

I'm a big fan of McDonald's. I have seen McDonald's employees crack the eggs into the round molds. I find it sad that people often underestimate the Egg (or Sausage) McMuffin, because they assume that McDonald's doesn't use fresh eggs! Now, I do believe that for everything else (the bagel and McGriddles) they use some pre-made product, since it's all yellow. The only other places I've seen the eggs fresh are Panera (which I also like), and the only Chipotle that serves breakfast, at Dulles airport (IAD). The reason why I hesitate to try Starbucks is that the sandwich is just composed of pre-made parts. I can't imagine how fresh that egg is!

Reality Check: McDonald's NYCrispy (Spain)

In the Netherlands we had a limited time sandwich at McDonald's called the CBO - chicken bacon onion, and it utilized the same fried crispy onions. Oh my gosh it was so good! With the bacon and fried chicken, and some sort of creamy sauce, it was really heavy but thoroughly decadent :)

No-knead bread for me as well! I make it every week now, and no longer buy bread in the store :)

Mail-Order Ice Cream from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams in Columbus, Ohio

I no longer live in Ohio, but I really pine for Jeni's! Even when I lived in Cincinnati, Columbus just seemed so far away! My absolute favorite is their black coffee ice cream, which has an intense bitterness that regular coffee ice cream just doesn't have. I really want to try the Gooey Buttercake flavor - was so jealous when one of my friends got it shipped to them!

And I like how several posters already beat me to it - my heart did skip a beat when it was written that Graeter's home was Columbus and not Cincinnati :)
