A while back, I mentioned that Starbucks had been test-marketing hot breakfast sandwiches in a few select locations. They are now selling them at quite a number of stores - 126 in the Chicago area alone - as part of their regular menu and seem to be planning to roll them out country-wide over the coming months.
The Chicago Sun-Times rounded up a panel of tasters who were willing to put the Starbucks sandwiches head-to-head with McDonald's McMuffins to give the rest of us an idea of what they're like. Two out of three said that they still preferred McDonald's, which appears to be the gold standard for quick, breakfast sandwiches. Here's what they thought of each of the offered sandwiches:
-
Eggs Florentine with Baby Spinach and Havarti - A taster favorite, with lots of sauce and spinach. "It's really delicious!" declared one.
