McDonald's PlayPlace & the McGriddle feat. Chad Damiani [Part Two]

They thought I was sent from corporate!

• McDonald's Breakfast is arguably the most desirable form of McDonald's, and my Ronald McDonald-looking-ass got to chow down on it with the king of the clowns, Clown Boss Chad Damiani!
• The Good: I got treated like a king for coming in dressed as Ronald (and I don't think they knew I wasn't sent from the higher-ups), the McGriddle hits (for me), the hash browns hit (for Chad), and they made no stink about me playing in the PlayPlace
• The Not Good: The Chicken Biscuit is the drier than heck, and the ordering kiosk gave Chad a difficult time
• The Just There: The Egg McMuffin
• What We Ate: Sausage McGriddle, Egg McMuffin, Hash Browns, Deluxe Pancake Breakfast with Bacon, & the Chicken Biscuit
• Chad made the mistake of romanticizing a diner that did NOT live up to any expectations of decency in this week's Calibration Station
• "Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to watch this episode!

Next week on "Fine" Dining: The Third & Final Hooter-Bowl [Part One]!
