The Taste Test of Two New Items!

I've been seeing the commercials advertising the new McDonald's Mighty Wings and Arby's Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich and both looked soooo good I had to sample them! So for lunch today my Mom and Dad wanted to try them so I went out and bought Mom the Arby's Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich and Dad the McDonald's Mighty Wings, and I got a small sample of both.





Start with the McDonald's Mighty Wings; McD's got their self a winner with these wings! Nice breading and a great spicy taste. The wings were nice size and very meaty and you have a choice of a variety of dipping sauces.

Nutritional Info - McDonald's Mighty Wings - 3-piece - 3.3 oz (94g)

Carbs - 12g (Sugar - 0g)
Protein - 18g



Next the Arby's Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich; and another winner! Not only does this one look mouth-watering on TV but looks even better when buy one. The brisket is smoked for 13 hours making it nice and tender. Arby’s Smokehouse Brisket is piled high with slow-smoked beef brisket, topped with smoked Gouda cheese, crispy onions, BBQ sauce and mayo, and served on a toasted, bakery-style bun. I couldn’t believe how good it was! It was tender and went great with the BBQ sauce and Gouda which just melted in your mouth, and I love Gouda Cheese! But the bad part about it is the calories and carbs. It's high in both with 610 calories and 42 carbs. It is one good sandwich though.
