Have You Visited the New McDonald's Spinoff?
Considering the strength and longevity of the McDonald’s brand, I’m surprised something like this hasn’t happened sooner. But happened it has, and it proves once again that the Golden Arches muckety-mucks know how to create excitement.
Unless you count the McDiner (and you can even if some don’t), this would be McDonald’s first spin-off restaurant. (I searched and couldn’t find another one.) And it will be fruitless to walk into a CosMc’s looking for the same fare you’d find in the parent establishment…with a few exceptions.
Aimed at a younger audience, the CosMc’s menu features an array of breakfast and beverage items ranging from specialty coffees, slushes, and frappes to sandwiches like the spicy queso–an omelet with sausage, spicy queso sauce, white cheddar cheese, and crispy jalapeno chips–and the creamy avocado tomatillo–an omelet with applewood bacon, creamy avocado tomatillo sauce, and white cheddar cheese. Both are served on a brioche bun. The sides on the CosMc’s menu also look a little different, but three old favorites are also be available.
The first CosMc’s location opened last December in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook IL. Four other locations in Texas have also opened. We certainly hope expansion continues.
And in case you’re wondering where the name “CosMc’s” came from, you need only look back to the late 1980s and early 1990s when McDonald’s introduced a character named CosMc:
I’m enamored of the CosMc’s menu, so my fingers are crossed that it keeps expanding and eventually lands in my neighborhood…or even 100 miles away. I’m ready to go.
