I realize that in the breakfast sandwich world, the choices are limited.  Usually some sort of egg, some sort of meat, some sort of bread substance....and the McGriddle follows all those basic sandwich rules, but to be really honest, they lost me completely when they decided that the sandwich was to have both cheese and maple syrup-two things that just don't seem to really meld-especially not with the synthetic gooey stuff that passes for cheese at MacDonalds.  I could handle the sausage (or bacon, or ham), the egg, the pancake (especially buttermilk)-then the whole thing just went haywire with cheese....I have never associated cheese as a pancake side either.   It just doesn't work for me.  A sandwich that is trying to be everything to everyone has left me totally out.   
And unlike the muffins, these pancakes are really pretty nasty if they happen to get cold.  A cold muffin isn't unlike a regular piece of bread, but a cold pancake is just limp, damp, soggy and nasty.

In response to LisaCarey's comment from Jun 29, 2008 at 11:31PM:

They don't actually have any taste buds-the primary objective is to complete eating quickly and with as little chewing effort as humanly possible. They ingest...when their tastebuds kick in, they will be in college and then they will consume and complain vigorously, and as adults, they will learn to be more discriminating and then they may actually dine.

Blech, I haven't even dared to try this. I feel the same way you do. :/

This is my teenage daughters favorite breakfast sandwich... I guess that says alot for teenage taste buds.

I couldn't agree more. I just didn't like the addition of the syrup taste to the whole thing.

I like the idea of the McGriddle, but the execution...The combination of tastes do not agree with my taste buds.
