Waffle Breakfast Sandwich-Dunkin Donuts


I used to live in Acton, MA and right across the street from my condo was a Dunkin Donuts. I will admit it was a selling point when I decided to move there. One extra good thing about this DD is it was one of those "testing" places. Whenever DD was trying out a new item, it would be introduced to several select places, and this DD was one of them. Sometimes it would be for an item that wouldn't even be advertised. The DD Waffle Sandwich is one of them. A couple of years ago, they had it, and for some reason discontinued it, but now it's back.

2 waffles (the "buns")
Sausage
Egg
Cheese

I know, it's basically any fast food breakfast sandwich, just a different "bun", but it's the little things in life. I've had the crosanwich and while it's good, it always seems to be too flaky for my tastes, and makes a bit of a mess, and the English muffin version can taste a bit dry (for my tastes). But this version is so far my fave. The sweetness of the waffles, combined with the Spice of the sausage makes me think "why didn't they come up with this sooner?" I never had the "McGriddle" (special "pancakes" for "buns") from Mc Donalds, but someone reminded me of their entry in the breakfast sandwich wars, and said the DD version is a bit more manageable size wise, and you don't feel gross after eating it. You get the sweetness from the waffles and the savory from the sausage, it's a great combo. The waffles seem to have a bit of a maple flavor to them as well.

I don't eat them daily. Mostly on the weekends if I'm out the door early. Usually my Girlfriend makes a KILLER weekend breakfast sandwich with Eggwhites,cheese, salsa & Turkey bacon, but that's not commercially available, yet. So the DD version does well in a pinch.

I highly recommend it, definitely good for a quick breakfast on the go, and I've had it at several different locations over the past few months, and the quality/service on it has been the same for the most part, I know, it's probably pre packaged, and frozen, so how can someone screw it up. If you've eaten at ANY fast food place, you know some places just suck at making pre-prepared foods, so it's nice to note that if you get one in Acton, or downtown Boston, You'll get the same deliciousness. I rate it a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars (the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it's fast food..

Stuff I like / Stuff I don't like

I really wish I could put together a reason as to why I'm doing this in a more articulate manner. I like certain things, and I often think that other people may like them as well. there are also things I don't like and think that this is something that people should avoid. This is where I do this. Everything - goods, services, experiences, and Ideas. You don't have to agree with them, it's just my personal experience. I'm not one of those sites like Aquire, or uncrate, where they just post stuff that's coming out. I'm actually basing this on my personal experience, something I shelled out some hard earned cash on, or invested some time in. Most reviewers get an item from a distributor, or manufacturer, and they get it for free, and then tell you what they think about it. I happen to think that when you spend $ on it, the perspective is a little different. I invite you all to comment, and debate on the subjects posted here. I'll try to stay away from the taboo's and arguments that are basically useless, religion/politics/sex, etc. because you'll never get someone else to share your opinion on subjects like these, especially in a blog like this. Like they say "your mileage may vary" so one person's experience may not reflect another person's, but here I'll share mine with you all.

I'll try to be fair on the things I review, but lets be honest, life isn't fair.
