I really feel like Jack within the Field tried to get a deal to supply a Stranger Issues menu, however didn’t please the Netflix Gods. So as a substitute of selling the Netflix present set within the mid-Nineteen Eighties, the quick meals chain determined to advertise a flick that got here out within the mid-Nineteen Eighties — Gremlins.
It’s the forty first anniversary of the unique Gremlins film, so, um, it’s slightly past a proper, spherical time to have a good time the movie. Or possibly Jack within the Field determined to leap on the Gremlins promotion practice early as a result of Gremlins 3 is popping out in 2027?
Regardless of the deal is with Jack within the Field and Gremlins, the quick meals chain goes all in on the collaboration, providing a whole menu. There’s the Gremlins Midnight Meal (Crispy Rooster Strips, Tacos, Onion Rings, Halfsie Fries, Midnight Sauce, a drink, and a Gremlins Air Freshener), the Midnight Snack Shake (a vanilla shake with M&M’s, salty pretzel items, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbles), and this Midnight Rooster Sandwich.
The menu merchandise is mainly Jack’s common Cluck Sandwich (crispy hen filet and pickles on a brioche bun), however with the Good Good Sauce swapped out for the mysterious-sounding Midnight Sauce. Yup, as a lot creativity went into this sandwich as arising with the title Good Good Sauce.
Whereas it sounds mysterious, the Midnight Sauce is only a candy barbecue sauce with a slight spicy kick. It tastes just like different barbecue sauces, and, not surprisingly, it goes effectively with the hen filet and pickles. Sadly, not all was pleasurable with my order. Whereas my filet had a crispy exterior, the poultry inside was noticeably dry. I suppose that’s the Russian Roulette we play with quick meals.
Whereas it tastes positive, as a result of it’s just about only a Cluck Sandwich with a unique sauce, I can’t assist however really feel underwhelmed by it. Because it’s topped with a barbecue sauce, possibly including a number of mogwai-colored onion rings would’ve made every part a bit extra fascinating. Or if Jack within the Field needed to be a bit further, and develop on the midnight theme, it might’ve added a purple cabbage coleslaw.
