Personally, I would just make parts of the breakfast menu available all-day.
Like the McMuffin sandwiches and of course the hashbrown.
But ditch the all-day offerings of things like the McGriddles, the Big Breakfast platters, bagels, burritos, yogurt, oatmeal, etc. No one in their right mind goes to McDonald’s at 2 p.m. or 6 p.m. and orders up a McGriddle, heck people rarely order that nasty sticky concoction even during breakfast hours.
And those Big Breakfast combo plates, if you need one of those after breakfast, just go to Denny’s. Possibly cheaper and certainly no worse.
The 10:30 Filet-O-Fish is no doubt great, at least in my book.
But what previously made it magical, literally, was the near impossibility to actually sourcing it.
It’s like whale meat might be great, but it’s only talked about in revered and hushed tones (in the US at least) because it’s verboten, legally and culturally.
Same with the 10:30 Filet-O-Fish, now that it’s as common as a sausage McMuffin with an apple pie in the middle as an additional layer, it inevitably loses some of culinary oomph.
Just a word to the very wise, if you order a 10:30 Filet-O-Fish, make sure to ask for extra tartar sauce with your Filet-O-Fish sandwich. Otherwise, the addition of the hash browns throws the cosmic balance of crunchy breading, mushiness of the fish and reconstituted potatoes, and sweet and tangy lubrication of the tartar sauce way off-kilter.
Can we please add this to the pantheon of great lines?! I just actually lol’d. Yes I know this is 2 years old but since we are bringing up an old thread
