My dad picked up some Egg McMuffins from the drive-thru at our local McDonald's before my taste test, and things already weren't looking great for the fast-food giant.
Similarly to Marchand's sandwich, the McDonald's Egg McMuffin is made with a toasted English muffin and "freshly cracked" egg, butter, and "melty American cheese," as well as lean Canadian bacon, according to its website.
Marchand's version appeared fluffier than the squished McDonald's sandwich, which had a much flatter English muffin. I could tell Marchand's muffin also had a lot more cheese, which looked delicious as it melted down the sides of the sandwich.
The Michelin McMuffin was clearly more visually appealing, but would it taste "100 times better" as Marchand had promised? It was time to find out.
