Big Mac is an awful bread tower. Maybe it tastes better with the side salad you order like some kind of sociopath because you hate potatoes.

 

[WellPlayed]

Not going with "Big Mac-Jesus" is cowardice.

 

[Wayward DP]

eh i'm 1000% a big mac guy.

then again, a double big mac kinda ruins the balance of that perfect sandwich so maybe the papi pounder wins.

you tried the Big Arch? not a fan, fucking falls apart all over the place. the Connor-burger seems similar

Whoa whoa whoa mcD fries are the best (only?) use of potatoes in the history of humankind.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

The secret is, no potatoes are used as ingredients.

Became popular because it's got a cool name. Garbage bread stack. Quarter pounder is the truth. Unfortunate McD's decided to name it a weight.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

The Big Mac without the middle bread and without cheese is great. Or at least it used to be. Haven't had in maybe 15 years.

it has half a bun more bread than a normal burger, but also an additional beef patty. work of art. Picasso wishes he came up with the Big Mac

just get a mcdouble add mac sauce if you're gonna do that...

I can't remember, aren't there three patties in the big mac?

I used to get it at my old firm because there was a McDs in the food court under the building.

But since I left there all those years ago, I only do targeted McD strikes for the filet o fish.

If I do burger, I go In n Out. And once in a while Shakeshack because it's walkable from the current office.

This convo was breaking my brain before i realized that WaywardDP and WellPlayed were not in fact the same poster.

 

[LeafGm]

There has never been a single moment in my entire life where I’ve been eating a burger and wished for a third piece of bread to add to the mix.

Also—Big Mac sauce sucks.

 

[BG]

Quarter Pounder with mac sauce is the cheese.

..and I'll bet there were a lot better Papi-themed burger names that were rejected by the bosses.

Big Mac is the highest achievement in fast food history.

Yes, it's got 50% more bun than is required on burger and two ultra thin patties that go dry as fuck. I've never ate a burger and thought - you know what this could use? An additional piece of wonder bread cut into a circle and stuck right in the middle.

But the middle bun is useful to soak in some of the grease, and better distribute it through the burger.

The problem is thinking of McDonald's as burgers. You don't want too much of their "meat" in any bite. I finally broke down and had the first quarter pounder of my life the other day and....it's just a shitty burger.

The Big Mac otoh is an exquisitely balanced perfect sandwich of texture and flavor. It's not a burger.

 

[zeke]

There's so many real burgers around now that it's hard to justify getting a fast food burger really. They're just nowhere near as good.

But a Big Mac....that's just a little piece of magic right there.

 

[WellPlayed]

McDonalds: What if we made a burger like a club sandwich, except without any of the good stuff?
