When I decided to visit McDonald's in South Korea, I knew that there was one limited-time menu offering that I had to try: the McChicken Mozzarella.
I had glimpsed a picture of the McChicken Mozzarella while scrolling through the various fast-food-centric publications I follow. Brand Eating had written up the new menu item in South Korea, summing it up as "your plain old McChicken stuffed with two mozzarella sticks and spicy Arrabbiata sauce."
I was ecstatic. My Instagram stalking had already taught me that fast-food chains frequently launch quirkier menu items in Asia. A fried chicken sandwich topped with mozzarella sticks sounds pretty close to my ideal sandwich.
However, when I finally ordered the McChicken Mozzarella, the sandwich was closer to a nightmare than my fried chicken dream.
