No More McDonald’s Dollar Menu? Eat These 10 Dollar Menu Replacements Instead
Premium Roast Coffee; WTF Coffee Lab
In the intro to this, I said I couldn’t remember the last time I went to McDonald’s. Well, I just remembered. It was last summer and I was driving from the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania at 2am and had to make it back to New York. I needed caffeine. I went to a McDonald’s. I got a large iced coffee. It held maybe a gallon. I’d forgotten what “large” meant to a place like McDonald’s in a part of America that was not New York City. The coffee, though, tasted like dirt. Worse than dirt. Like dirt mixed with tar. And yet it still wasn’t strong. It was watery and awful. I couldn’t even drink it. I stayed awake by blasting the air conditioner right at my face and singing along really loudly to Fiona Apple (When the Pawn…) over and over till I saw the twinkling lights of Manhattan in the distance. Reader, it was so beautiful and I was so tired, I almost cried. Anyway. Coffee. There are so many better choices for coffee in Brooklyn than McDonald’s. This is one of them. WTF brews good strong from a range of Fair Trade beans. I’m partial to the Ugandan peaberry, but it’s all excellent. Savor it. Be grateful you don’t have to resort to McDonald’s and that you don’t live in the Middle of Nowhere, Pennsylvania.
