\"\"<\/p>\n

Ever since Mike\u2019s Hot Honey debuted in 2010, it\u2019s been oozing its way onto pizza, ice cream, and everything in between. Dunkin\u2019s menu is the latest to fall into Mike\u2019s sticky fingers with its new Hot Honey Bacon Sandwich, Wake-Up Wrap, and Snackin\u2019 Bacon. The sandwich stacks hot honey bacon, a fried egg, white cheddar, and a hot honey drizzle on a brioche bun. Honey seems like a perfect condiment for a breakfast sandwich, so this collaboration is a no-brainer, and I\u2019m surprised it didn\u2019t happen sooner. Dunkin\u2019 might be a little late to the game, but there\u2019s no reason this shouldn\u2019t be a slam dunk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Upon unwrapping this sandwich, I took note that it looked like a lot of buns and not much else. The cheese was visible, but that was about it. I don\u2019t typically feel the need to dissect my food before eating it, but sometimes it can be helpful when reviewing to make sure you actually have all the correct ingredients since (this will come as no shock to my fellow fast food purchasers) plenty of times – you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Opening the sandwich revealed everything that was supposed to be there, albeit none of it looked very appealing. The cheese wasn\u2019t well melted, the bacon mediocre, and the egg looked squishy, perhaps due to sitting on the bottom bun that was soaked in the hot honey glaze. I reassembled things, which did make for a more complete picture. Although unfortunately not a better eating experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For having both hot honey bacon and a hot honey drizzle, there is zero heat present in this sandwich. I couldn\u2019t detect any whatsoever, and if I hadn\u2019t seen the employee who made it using a bottle with a Mike\u2019s label, I would have thought it was regular honey, and maybe the location ran out of the real stuff. My dad is the kind of spicy food-averse person who starts coughing if they look at a red pepper flake, and I think he could eat this with no problem. Dunkin\u2019 must have mellowed out the pepper content in hopes of a more universal appeal to its sweet-leaning fanbase, but it\u2019s disappointing to expect a sweet\/hot combo and lack half of it entirely. Trying the bacon on its own, I found it to be serviceable fast food bacon with a honey flavor, but the heat is still missing. The egg was as unpleasantly squishy as its appearance promised. I didn\u2019t expect a great fried egg in this situation, but a spongey, sweet one does not help things. Perhaps if a more viscous honey drizzle was used or if it was placed elsewhere on the sandwich, it would work better, but as it is things just get soggy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I tried this, there was a deal in the app to get it for $3, and it\u2019s definitely not worth more. Fans of hot honey and good breakfast sandwiches should get their fix elsewhere because Dunkin\u2019 dropped the ball on this one.<\/p>\n
