Today, We’ll #SavourtheFlavour with the NEW Signature McWrap!

May 23, 2013 By Lena

In just a few short hours, I’ll be co-hosting an intimate event with Anne Parks, Director of Menu Management, at a McDonald’s restaurant in Toronto. We’ll have a picnic-style lunch, chat menu inspiration and sample the NEW Signature McWrap. And best of all… I’ll have a chance to meet a few of my fabulous readers! It’s always so awesome to meet y’all in person – especially while devouring a tasty McWrap!

Now just in case you’ve been wondering how Anne adapts McDonald’s recipes to suit Canadian preferences and tastes, she chats about her role, and her day-to-day inspiration, in this neat little video:

And of course, we’ll continue the conversation this afternoon. If you’re on Twitter, be sure to follow the #SavourtheFlavour hashtag, where I’ll be sharing photos, highlights from the afternoon, and of course, all the juicy tidbits about the NEW Signature McWrap. Until then, have a great day!

    I always prefered a McDs snack wrap to a burger so now Im thrilled they have this larger sized wrap!

    • Lena

      Lisa, without a word of lie… it’s HUGE! Snack wrap it’s not… more like full course meal!

        I had the Sweet Chili one on the weekend and I agree. Hubby had to finish it off for me! Maybe the Vanilla chai frappe I had with it was filling me up too :p

    I will have to check back in with the blog later this afternoon (don’t have twitter)… I am interested to hear your verdict ;) Plus next time I am out I am going to try these new wraps ;)

    • Lena

      May 27, 2013 at 8:46 am

      Flora, my verdict is… two thumbs way up! I recommend the Sweet Chili with Crispy Chicken :)

    Anne is just as sweet in person! Thank you Lena for the experience!

    • Lena

      Isn’t she? Thank you so much for sharing the experience with us – it was great to see you!

    I have still yet to try them! They look great – very cool video too!

    • Lena

      May 27, 2013 at 8:47 am

      Indeed! Please tell me what you think Jenny!

    That’s so exciting! Darn, I wish I had been around for the twitter chat! I was talking to my partner about the McWrap after reading your previous post, which led to reminiscing about menu options that were around when we were kids. I would have asked Anne to consider one day bringing back those delicious mini pizzas from circa the 1980s.

    • Lena

      May 27, 2013 at 8:49 am

      Would you believe – asking about the pizza is the universally most popular question? Alas, it came down to timing – “Unfortunately, the 11 minute prep time was long and impacted our service times too much to keep it on the menu.”

        Thanks for the answer!

          My pleasure – I asked, too!

    I’ve tried the Sweet Chili with Crispy Chicken wrap and its awesome and huge too. Also, its reasonably priced.

    • Lena

      May 29, 2013 at 9:23 pm

      Thanks for the feedback Marissa! Happy you like it!

    I love wraps, will have to try this out for sure!!

    • Lena

      May 29, 2013 at 9:23 pm

      Please do Debbie, they are delish!

    being type 2 diabetic I love wraps instead of big buns

    • Lena

      June 8, 2013 at 12:15 pm

      That’s a great point, Linda! And since these are whole wheat, they further cut down on the simple carbs. Enjoy!

    I tried the fiesta one (grilled chicken) – YUMMY !!! They are GINORMOUS !!! I was going to get one of each (thinking they were the same size as the old wraps) and the girl at the counter said they were really big and maybe I should just start with one LOL Glad she did ;)

    • Lena

      June 8, 2013 at 12:16 pm

      Haha! Glad you took her advice – these are definitely NOT the same thing as snack wraps! Thanks for the feedback!

    Today I tried a bite of a friend’s Sweet Chili wrap (not my cup of tea) – I had the Chicken and Bacon one and loved it :o)

    • Lena

      June 8, 2013 at 12:16 pm

      Success! Happy you love them as much as I do!

    I love the Mc Wrap because they’re a much healthier option than the rest of the menu but they’re also really delicious
