I do a lot of eating on the run. Seems like my car has longtime been a lunchroom for me, but I’m not complaining. I feel safe as the law. I can lock all the doors…you get the idea. A cozy little me-sphere with all I need; food, drink, and a radio.
So, I have tried a lot of wraps and things like the old salad shaker from McDonald’s. Here’s my take on some of them:
Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme- Isn’t this the product that coined the phrase, “Good to go,” fast foodily speaking? To me, they are not quite. The shape makes them awkward to hold and eat and sometimes the tortilla doesn’t adhere to itself successfully. I once ate one of these while waiting in line for Grizzlies tickets, and even then it was not good to go.
KFC Twister Wrap- Okay, I like the name. It’s got a flavorful sauce on it (unlike Sonic’s grilled chicken wrap, but we’ll get to that). I’m even satisfied with the texture of the chicken and how well it holds up in a tortilla.
Sonic Grilled Chicken Wrap- Whoever decided that restaurants should to use lowfat anything on a wrap just because it is called a wrap made a poor decision. Although a little peppery, the lowfat ranch sauce on Sonic’s wrap lacks flavor, and it is runny. This makes for a potential splat when trying to drive and eat.
Chik-Fila Coolwrap- This thing ticked me off recently! Nothing at Chik-fila is cheap; you are going to pay a little extra to get some good fried then steamed chicken from CFA. Likewise, the Coolwraps are costly. They don’t come in fried, but instead offer a fresh choice for anyone wanting a lower-cal and cutsie deli style lunch. Beware; these are so not good to go. For starters, the packaging is too much to get into while you are going down the road. More importantly, the sauce that comes with these wraps is handed to you individually in a packet. I guess you could dip it. But to me, it’s just cold chicken. I won’t get it again.
McDonald’s Snackwrap- My favorite wrap. They come in different flavors, with the sauce already on them. You can get them “crispy” or grilled. They aren’t big at all, which means they cost less and you also get a healthier portioned (and easier to hold) meal to eat on the go. I like the BBQ Snackwrap. It’s sauce is spicy, and the cheddar cheese included is the perfect compliment for that. If I get one of these and a medium drink, I am good to go.
