Dunkin Donuts "Big N' Toasty"

Let's make a slight diversion from beer and squid to another of the major food groups - the "Cheesy, eggy breakfast sandwich thingy" food group.  I left the house early the other day, skipping breakfast at home.  So I decided to try the new Big N' Toasty" from Dunkin Donuts.  DD describes it as "2 fried eggs, 4 slices of Cherrywood smoked bacon and American cheese on thick Texas Toast."  Sounds good to me.

Big N' Toasty

So I had one.  The first thing I realized is that "Texas Toast" is toast that's more or less soaked in butter (or a butter-like substance.)  This is one thing when you're eating it to complement a meal, and it's only lightly soaked in real butter, and you eat it right away.  But when you put this in a fast food context, the effect is a very greasy experience.  The sandwich tasted fine, and I liked the thickness of the bread.  But after one bite my mouth and chin were covered in, well, butter-like substance.  It's not a sensation that fills you with feelings of self worth.  I don't need to look at the nutrition facts to get the feeling that this sandwich goes beyond decadent, into the "off-putting" territory.  So despite my love of eggs, cheese and bacon, and my intense like for Texas Toast, I won't be having the Big N' Toasty again.

P.S.  For a real star in the "Cheesy, eggy breakfast sandwich thingy" food group, check out the "Grilled Cheese Eggsplosion."  I've made several - waaayy cool!
