LOL, is that the name I thought they were crawlers, that is how long it has been since I had one. I stopped to get coffee now and then but no donuts.

Pregnant or not ... which I'm not ... I didn't really like it, but it isn't that bad and I still would not complain.

I confess, I really like these little sandwiches. I've never had a McGriddle so I can't compare. I don't usually eat fast-food breakfasts. But something about the advertisement brought me in (good work, marketers!) and I actually do like them. It's not haute cuisine but the waffle and the egg are both pleasantly tender. (Perhaps this is a case of "you say soggy, I say tender"?) The waffle is mildly maple-flavored. The bacon, if you get it, is not bad. Not especially crisp though, if that's what you're looking for. The cheese is completely forgettable.
They seem like prime pregnancy food. If they had been around when I was pregnant, I would have eaten quite a few. Especially since there's a DD 3 blocks away from my house.
Worth it? Around here it's something like $1.99 for the sandwich with a medium coffee. Go for it!

I didn't like it, but on the road 1.00 with coffee I would do it again. I like the mcgriddle better, but hey. Something quick while heading somewhere. I'm not that picky.

I don't mind, In a hurry in the morning, I microwave mine at times. Not what I prefer. But 3 minutes and out the door, sorry no time to pan fry, I put in a small dish with some pan 1:15, done on a english muffin half and out the door. I guess my schedule is much tighter and busier than some. I work 12 hour days. Sometimes gone 2 days at a time. On call 24/7 and never know my hours. A nice wholesome egg not being fried is better than nothing when I want some protein. I prefer a sunnyside up or fresh poached but 1 minute in my life is important to me. When I have a 45 minute drive and it is 6am, the micro or Dunkin Donuts will have to do. Also I am on the road a lot and no time to dine in so I take what I can.

I got this clamshell microwave egg cooker, and it's fantastic. Spray a little Pam, break in the eggs, pierce the yolks, and in 55 seconds, you have two eggs that you would swear had been perfectly poached. It takes longer to toast the muffins! Throw on a little grated cheese while the muffins are still hot, and you have two McMuffin clones for less than $1. Some coffee in the go cup, and you have the perfect one-handed car breakfast in much less time than it takes to wait at the drive through.

Interesting, where did you get it? I have small little dishes but would love something like that. I hate micro, but sometimes it works just fine and agree, much better than anything you can buy. I had one this am with some leftover ham and a little cheese. I was yummy!!

My experience at DD is the farther you get from donuts and coffee, the worse your experience will be.
For example, their flatbread sandwiches are horrifically bad.
On the other hand, their bagels are not as bad as you'd expect. Perhaps as long as they stick to dough with a hole in the middle, they do ok.
But far be it from me to get between a pregnant lady and what she is craving!

Tried it today, didn't like it. I admit ... I like the McGriddle. Greasy, horrible for you, but just tastes good. Add that to my horrible guilty pleasures
