you&#8217;re wondering whether DD&#8217;s latest offering, the Angus Steak &#038; Egg Sandwich, is worth a try.\u00a0 Or you&#8217;re bored at work and they&#8217;ve disabled Minesweeper on your computer.\u00a0 Either way, let&#8217;s get down to business.\u00a0 The Steak &#038; Egg sandwich is being marketed as a very masculine sandwich.\u00a0 It drinks whiskey straight from the bottle.\u00a0 It has only cried twice in its life.\u00a0 (Its father&#8217;s funeral and at the end of <i>Old Yeller<\/i>.)\u00a0 And if there&#8217;s truth in advertising, it will help you &#8220;Show Your Morning Who&#8217;s Boss.\u00a0&#8221;  This is a sandwich for men, manly men, the kind who build skyscrapers, tame wild animals, and &#8220;wear the big boss pants.&#8221;\u00a0 Stay away, ladies &#8212; you couldn&#8217;t handle this sandwich.\u00a0 Why, one bite would send you scurrying back home to your momma.\u00a0 Angus doesn&#8217;t need you and it doesn&#8217;t want you.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully that&#8217;s also true of the men who&#8217;ll be consuming it, since the Angus Steak &#038; Egg comes standard on an onion bagel, meaning you won&#8217;t be locking lips with anyone after eating it.\u00a0 That&#8217;s okay, real men don&#8217;t have time for kissing anyway.\u00a0 Since I&#8217;m a writer and thus not particularly manly, I got mine on a plain bagel, but be aware you have to ask for that &#8212; onion is the default, which could be a nasty surprise if you&#8217;re not expecting it.\u00a0 On a plain bagel, it smells good, though not substantially different from most breakfast sandwiches; in other words, the cheese and egg contribute more to the aroma than the steak does.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/6991990229\/\" title=\"Dunkin' Donuts Angus Steak &amp; Egg Sandwich Closeup by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7045\/6991990229_e2b73b41b2.jpg?resize=500%2C275\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" alt=\"Dunkin' Donuts Angus Steak &amp; Egg Sandwich Closeup\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Appearance-wise, it looks&#8230; above average.\u00a0 The cheese, steak, and egg are all clearly visible within the sandwich from almost any angle, and when you remove the top you see they didn&#8217;t skimp on any of the components.\u00a0 As the picture illustrates, my bagel got burnt, but hopefully that was user error specific to my server instead of just the way they&#8217;re made.\u00a0 On the other hand, the cheese was quite melted, which is great.\u00a0 Can&#8217;t complain about the size of the Angus patty, though I&#8217;ll offer that it looks more like a standard fast food hamburger than anything you&#8217;d actually think of when hearing the word &#8220;steak.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for the taste, it&#8217;s quite good, assuming you&#8217;re able to manage your expectations.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re genuinely expecting the equivalent of a nice porterhouse or New York Strip steak on your mass-produced breakfast sandwich, well, I guess you&#8217;re out of luck.\u00a0 (Also, dumb.)\u00a0 It tastes a bit like adding eggs to a cheesesteak, and I don&#8217;t mean that as a criticism.\u00a0 I found that the combo of the cheese, egg, and steak melded well together in my mouth, warm and savory with reasonable juiciness.\u00a0 The bagel was decent, crisp enough but, again, relatively burnt.\u00a0 Taken as a whole, the sandwich was both filling and tasty.<\/p>\n<p>Not nearly as impressed was I by tearing off a small piece of just the steak.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not bad, but fair or not, the word &#8220;Angus&#8221; conjures up a certain beef pedigree that can be hard to live up to.\u00a0 This is like Angus&#8217;s great-grandson, the one who gets a cushy executive job at the family business and is told to just show up most days and try not to knock up his secretary.\u00a0 And like a 4th generation executive, it seems much more impressive when bolstered up by the hard work of its undervalued support staff, eggs and cheese.\u00a0 Together they make a good team and can actually capitalize on the steak&#8217;s strengths while effectively masking its limitations.\u00a0 For that reason, I&#8217;d call the Angus Steak &#038; Egg Sandwich a relative success and encourage you to try one sometime in the next two weeks, before it gets replaced by the Lobster Bisque Croissant or whatever.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211;
