>The inspiration for swapping beef to chicken actually came from customers who have been “hacking” the Chicken Big Mac for years, as Anderson put it.

It took a trained chef 2 years to look at what some customers were already doing and making it an official sandwich on the menu. Happy to hear all his culinary training isn't going to waste.

Honestly, as a former line cook, I would LOVE to have a steady salary job for two years without having to work in a hot and sweaty kitchen all day for 8-12+ hours. A job like this would be gravy for any chefs not too pretentious to "sell out."

Chicken Big Mac is already on the menu in many parts of the world too, that article mentions the UK. Middle East has had it for over a decade I think, fairly sure I’ve seen it India and Australia has had it for a least a year or two and I think it was run as a promo item before that, so did this Toronto guy come up with the original version or just the Canadian one?

I had one in India in 2010. I think it was called the Chicken Maharaja, or maybe McMaharaja?

If that’s the case it should have maple syrup on it too
