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 received’t ‘earn’ free coffees as usually as I used to?! Wahhh, I’m a giant fats entitled child!” – actual quote.
Ya know what, although? I’ve truly grown to love the brand new rewards. Each month when Dunkin’ releases one thing new, there’s often a pleasant deal or two available inside the app. With out stated offers, I in all probability 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 acquired 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 dangerous.
I figured…
It seems it’s kinda dangerous.
The thought of chorizo being on Dunkin’s menu in all probability ought to have been my first purple flag, however I assumed it does breakfast sausage, so how totally different can it’s? Oh, it’s totally different.
Once I unwrapped the Chorizo and Egg Wrap, it appeared like an enormous Cheez-It, or somewhat a brittle, purple, dusty dry brick. Once I bit in, it was all of these phrases, however fortunately didn’t style like a brick. As a substitute, it tasted like fairly the other, 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 dangerous in any respect, however no single ingredient actually stood out. The egg acquired swallowed up, and the remaining 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 method crispier.
Now I’ll be truthful, the spice was good. There’s simply sufficient there that it received’t derail your morning. I think about it got here principally from the chorizo and the cheese. Both method 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 truthful, one way or the other stayed inside the partitions of the purple pepper wrap that I genuinely didn’t like. It’s extra of a sandwich wrap than a gentle taco or burrito. These could appear related, however this could’ve completely been served in a gentle 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 might’ve by no means spent 5 bucks on this. I kinda want I didn’t spend three. I’m gonna must rescind my apology. I would like the outdated reward system again! In conclusion, wahhhh, I’m nonetheless a giant fats entitled child.
