Product reviews...
As a fast food junky i am a regular Mcdonalds customer and always give a new burger a try . This burger hit the spot and was really tasty and guess what it nearly looked as good as the picture on the menu board . As far as the portion went i still was a little hungry when i left and did feel a little over charged for the burger but what is new when you leave Mcdonalds (but still we keep going back) But once again the preparation time was tops a thirty second wait . So my final opinion is if in a hurry not to hungry and got a spare dollar go get a Grand Angus burger as it a pretty tasty , and i have been back for another one or two .
McD's have released many 'promotional' burgers over the years, some turned out to be good enough to make it to the menu as regulars, some... well, they never should have trusted the word of someone...
Thankfully, this is one of those burgers that deserves to remain on the menu, despite it's overpriced nature... so, in the logic of all that is commercial... it probably won't last long. "Make 'em beg for it" mentalirty plays high-card in the food industry these days it seems.
The beef patty is astounding... unlike most meat patties, this one *actually* tastes like real meat! Genuine beef, even! It's a little too fatty for my tastes, and because I prefer to gobble down the fries first, the patty had cooled and the fat had started to clot in the bottom of the box, making it a little off-putting... so eat this fresh and hot for best results!
I has asked for "no pickles" on mine because it's one thing to have them lost in the mustard-&-onions of a cheeseburger, but with the sauce on this burger being lighter (mustard and mayo) I didn't want the pickle coming through. The red onions are also quite a strong flavour, being as they are, served raw... so you may want to take that into account when ordering too.
The bun is one of those fancy 'plaited' style bunsd that look so nice and dinky... and fall apart into little mini-buns as soon as you try to pick it up.
The rest... well, -meh- it's all pretty standard fare really... shredded lettuce, musht tomato, wilted processed cheese... all the ingredients you see in the picture, and of course the final product looks *nothing like the picture!* So, what's new there...
Overall, about the only thing they got right on this was that delightfully full-flavoured patty... yet, strangely enough, I still find myself wanting another one... I wonder if they would sell me just the patty, and I'll take along my own bun and fillings... -hmmm- Must try that idea...
