Dunkin Donuts Angus Steak & Egg Sandwich

d&d breakfast sandwiches used to be a fav in my house... when you had a long night and were hung over, there was nothing more perfect than a delicious d&d breakfast sandwich to nurse you back to health. somewhere down the line, however, the bagels changed, the bagel -toasting- changed, the egg changed, and the sandwiches 100% lost all of their flavor and luster. a few months back i tried a sausage, egg & cheese and remember looking at my sandwich (which LOOKED tasty) and just yelling at it - i could not fathom how this delightful looking treat had NO flavor at all. i couldn't taste it! it was like eating fake display food - cardboard bagel, bland sausage, plastic cheese & sponge egg.


note: it comes on an onion bagel, but i'm partial
to the sesame since the sesame texture / flavor
compensates for the cardboardy bagel.

the commercials for the Angus Steak & Egg Sandwich are compelling... half of me yearned for the past, of a tasty d&d breakfast savior. so... tuesday morning after a long drive from albany to CT, i caved and hit up the d&d drive thru (with LESS than zero expectations). surprisingly, the steak actually has flavor. it might be a fake smoke seasoning, but there is something in it that was pretty tasty. the egg and cheese still got nothing, but it's at least a step in the right direction. don't open up the sandwich, because the appearance of the steak is just wrong... i have no idea what kind of meat concoction this is, but it is certainly not a verifiable steak. i think it has man-made striation?

striation meet sponge

the sandwich is worth having just once to satisfy curiosity (or if you are not within range of a deli to get a real breakfast sandwich). i would recommend ordering it WITHOUT the egg because the egg is SO tasteless and spongey it's flat out frightening - no doubt not worth ANY of the calories in it, nevermind the chemicals it is composed of (i would be shocked if that egg is anything over 5% natural egg). cheers. 3 ***.
