I owe Dunkin’ a little bit of an apology.
Final 12 months when it modified its app’s rewards program, I threw a full-blown hissy match. “What do you imply I gained’t ‘earn’ free coffees as typically as I used to?! Wahhh, I’m an enormous fats entitled child!” – actual quote.
Ya know what, although? I’ve really grown to love the brand new rewards. Each month when Dunkin’ releases one thing new, there’s normally a pleasant deal or two available throughout the app. With out stated offers, I most likely wouldn’t be making an attempt and having fun with half of its new menu objects.
Working example – the brand new Chorizo & Egg Wrap. I could have skipped this one if not for this month’s provide. I obtained a $3 wrap with the acquisition of a drink I used to be already getting. That’s not the BEST deal ever, nevertheless it labored on me. I’ve lengthy been a fan of Dunkin’s line of Wake-up Wraps, so I figured this one couldn’t be too unhealthy.
I figured…
It seems it’s kinda unhealthy.
The concept of chorizo being on Dunkin’s menu most likely ought to have been my first pink flag, however I assumed it does breakfast sausage, so how totally different can or not it’s? Oh, or not it’s totally different.
Once I unwrapped the Chorizo and Egg Wrap, it appeared like a large Cheez-It, or fairly a brittle, pink, dusty dry brick. Once I bit in, it was all of these phrases, however fortunately didn’t style like a brick. As an alternative, it tasted like fairly the alternative, pure lukewarm slop.
Together with cubes of scrambled egg, there are chunks of rubbery chorizo, roasted veggies of which I couldn’t even register, a number of beans, and a “dose” of some sort of (Mexican?) cheese sauce. On paper, that doesn’t sound unhealthy in any respect, however no single ingredient actually stood out. The egg obtained swallowed up, and the remainder simply blended collectively into an disagreeable mixture of mildly spicy – I gotta use the phrase once more – slop. I like my chorizo extra crumbled and means crispier.
Now I’ll be honest, the spice was good. There’s simply sufficient there that it gained’t derail your morning. I think about it got here largely from the chorizo and the cheese. Both means that zesty taste was nearly sufficient to get a passing grade, however nothing else landed.
The cheese, oily sausage balls, and mushed-up veggies simply made for a moist mess that, to be honest, one way or the other stayed throughout the partitions of the pink pepper wrap that I genuinely didn’t like. It’s extra of a sandwich wrap than a delicate taco or burrito. These could seem comparable, however this could’ve completely been served in a delicate tortilla.
So yeah, that is the primary misfire I’ve had from Dunkin’ in a while. I’d evaluate it to a sausage Pillsbury Toaster Scramble, however worse. With out the app deal, I’d’ve by no means spent 5 bucks on this. I kinda want I didn’t spend three. I’m gonna should rescind my apology. I would like the outdated reward system again! In conclusion, wahhhh, I’m nonetheless an enormous fats entitled child.
