Perseverance is the driving force behind passion. Searching for the last little bit of horsepower. Finding the best line to take on a racetrack. Involving yourself in a billion-dollar corporation’s marketing scheme to get you into their restaurant. Some things are worth the hustle. Others are not.
Just before I decided to embark on the journey to Parkhaus1, South Florida’s premiere facility for classic and modern Porsches, I decided to stop at a few local McDonald’s in search of the fabled Szechuan Sauce. This famous condiment was featured briefly in some McDonald’s restaurants as a tie-in with the release of Disney’s then-new movie, Mulan. Recently, the television show Rick and Morty featured an episode where they entered a dimension where it was always 1999, and the sauce notoriously gained a cult following. I, being an avid fan of this television series, was keenly interested in this sauce, as I had missed out on it during it’s heyday. McDonald’s, hot on the heels of this sudden interest in the sauce, decided to re-release the sauce at some of their restaurants for one day only.
This is my story.
