Damn straight Mickey D’s gone uptown, at its once seriously downtown 17th & Corcoran location two blocks from my place. The renovation's complete and those flowers in those pots are real, man! Once you’re inside, you can order and pay for your meal electronically and then have a seat while they bring it to you!
What about the actual food? Well, a couple of months ago I tried one of those “monster burgers”, which proved to be seriously greasy and not much else. The grilled chicken won’t make you fat, but it won’t make you excited either. Best bet, and the only bet, that I’ve discovered, is the caramel sundae, which is small, so it won’t make you too fat, paired, of course, with black coffee, which is decent. If you want to be seriously la-di-da, you can stop off at Whole Foods and pick up some pecans or hazel nuts to sprinkle on your sundae, instead of the diced peanuts Mickey gives you. Bon appétit!
