YUMSVILLE!
Groundhog day means only one thing to the Epicurean set of downtown Chicago: 49cent Burger Day at McDonald’s!!!!
It’s true! I braved the besieged McDonald’s next to Nick’s Fish Market. My reward? Four 59cent cheeseburgers and two years off my life. Junk food like this was always withheld as a sort of reward by my stupid health-conscious parents, so even though I feel like a margarine-arteried slob while eating, there’s still the warm-blanket feeling of forbidden comfort food.
Here’s the McYumsville, a sandwich I invented. If you get with a McDonald’s that will play ball you’re all set, if not, you’ll have to order the parts separately and assemble.
I will list the ingredients of the McYumsville from the top down:
One Apple Pie
One Spicy Chicken Fillet
Swiss Cheese
One slice of McGriddles Pancake-Bread
American Cheese
Pickles
One quarter pound hamburger patty
One Apple Pie
That’s the McYumsville! McYUM! Add Katsup, Mustard, or Ranch Dressing to taste. For extra fun order large fries embedded in a triple-thick chocolate shake.
If someone makes and eats one of these, taking pictures along the way, I will reimburse them for twice the sandwich’s value. And give them a medal. And eulogize them the following week.
