Airing of Grievances: Midtown McDonalds Screws Lunch’er on Free Sandwich Day
I love free food, but not enough to eat at McDonalds (notice how I got Andre Mika to blog about their chicken sandwich for me), and even posting about their southern style fried chicken sandwich promotion this morning made me feel dirty. Luckily I get to redeem myself by posting this email from Midtown Lunch’er “Shauna“:
I saw the slightly tantalizing image you posted when McD’s first announced the Southern Style Chicken Sandwich, but lookie here at what my coworker returned to the office with today [from the McDonalds on Broadway & 51st]…
Are they KIDDING?!?!?! Maybe that’s how they’re saving $$ during the giveaway today. Pretty pathetic.
I didn’t hear too many complaints from commenters, so I’m guessing this was just one stray breakfast biscuit patty, served as a lunch sandwich… but even so, it makes me feel good to post it.

We met at a Will & Grace evening in a san fran club.
It was the Liv tyler drag elven look that did it.

I asked for lettuce on my Southern Chicken sandwich and was told that it would be an extra charge. I declined. As for size, mine was a nice size.
The trick was to get the cheapest medium drink to make this the best value, and I found the coffee for $1.39 to be the cheapest. -
I thought it was quite good… much akin to Chick-fil-A (which, from a native of the Deep South is a pretty big compliment!). I had a friend who went back and got the same sandwich the next day and said it was much bigger and the chicken patty was significantly bigger as well. I think they were just skimping a bit on the free promo (which I guess is fair enough).
LOL Wayne! You are now my favorite, sorry Rudy, I can’t handle long-distance relationships.
