I went to McDonald's to try the new sandwich called Chicago Supreme. It happened at 3 pm, two afternoons before writing this post. Post whose original idea was to find out what remains of Vivace and Adagio, the couple of sandwiches that not later than a few months ago had consecrated the unnatural bond between the most famous Italian chef, Gualtiero Marchesi, and McDonald's, a devil tempter of fast food. Gone, nowhere to be found, all traces of them have been lost. Curiously, the Minuetto menu remains on the menu, the dessert homage to the typical Milanese panettone stuffed with coffee sauce and mascarpone cream. Except that it is no longer called Minuetto, but Tiramisu cream with panettone, almost an abjuration of the three-star embrace that must not have been a prodigious commercial success.

Since I was there, and this doesn't happen often, I ordered a medium menu of € 6.90 with chips and drinks, adding for € 1.50 also the so-called "whims", to choose from salty (chiken wings, alette chicken) or sweets (muffins, donuts or apple cakes), the poisoned apples used by the tempting devil in the twenty-first century.

So, from the Italy theme (Ciociaro, McItaly, Vivace and Adagio) we return to the unbridled yankitude of Chicago Supreme. Burgers, bacon, lettuce, onion and fried onion sauce (?!). Which, having to deal with a precociously stressed digestive system, I asked was not understood, I missed the liver (it is appropriate to say).

Tasting notes. The bread is flat and with little crumb, with a balanced taste without the usual sweet note of burger buns. The meat is unmistakably McDo, and the fans forgive me, this is no compliment, while the savory and crunchy bacon puts the sprint on the sandwich. We are far from the level of many national burgers (M ** Bun, Denzel, La Granda, Ham Holy Burger) but the result is better than the sandwiches conceived by his cheffitudine Gualtiero Marchesi.

Also new are the fries, slightly spiced and cut in the shape of large golden curls, with a texture that is still vaguely "cardboard".
