McDonald's Rips Off another Good Idea

2008_03_mcd_lock.jpgIf there's one thing our mother taught us about cooking, it's that anything can be dressed up with some breading, some pickles, and either a bun or a biscuit. Which is why we love her chicken biscuit sandwiches, which are better than Chick-Fil-A.

Since the nearest Chik-Fil-A is in Racine, we're going to have to settle for McDonald's, instead. The fast food giant, after testing out their version of a breakfast chicken sandwich for over a year, is finally set to roll it out officially as early as next month. The sandwich is being posited as a healthy alternative to beef, as long as you can conveniently ignore the breading and the fact that the chicken in cooked in oil, then it is. We don't think it's going to make us forget Chick-Fil-A, either.
