gogoblender 3,070 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Disgusting. Big piece of dry meat on a toasted cold bun... Six bux for this? Sorry...but I'm thinking that good ole Mcd's attempt to bring in higher paying customers with so-called "luxury" foods just doesn't cut it. Have any of you guys actually been sucked in and bought one of these things? I figgered since I was paying a premium price, I'd at least get something as good as what I can get at Wendy's and Harvey's. And the fancy writing on the big box the burger came in was so tantalizing... telling me that every time I order this burger it's going to be perfect. Far from it gogo Link to comment

Silearth 6 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 My Eight year old love these. I won't buy them for him, but he can usually get one out of my father-in-law. Big Piece of dry meat? Gogo, my friend....you described it perfectly! Too thick! Too dry! I feel the same about Carl's Jr's six dollar burger. Give me In n out or Fatburger. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Here's a pic of it Gonna see if I can dig out of the garbage can what they say on the box... Good for a laugh Hah! gogo p.s. Never heard of Carl's Jr. Do they make it on the spot? The speed at at which the Angus Burger magically appeared in the ladies hand leads me to believe Mcd's newest burgers are microwaved Link to comment

Never heard of Carl's Jr. Do they make it on the spot? The speed at at which the Angus Burger magically appeared in the ladies hand leads me to believe Mcd's newest burgers are microwaved If you look at the picture, they had good intentions. Love the red onions. But the meat is just too thick. Two thin patties is better than one thick one. And angus beef is always so dry. You don't have Carl's Jr.? They are known for their messy burgers, hence the ad campaign "If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face." The problem is that resturants have to adhere to certain food safety rules. If you take a big hunk of ground beef and cook it all the way through, it's going to be dry. The best burgers are found in local 'hole in the wall' resturants. Link to comment
jimdingsdale 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 We call Mcdonalds Rotten Ronnies. I found their food is good for cleaning me out. Link to comment
Silearth 6 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) We call Mcdonalds Rotten Ronnies. I found their food is good for cleaning me out. Lol. Rotten Ronnies. The thing about McDonalds, for me, is that there are other places that are better--they all are. But when you want McDonalds, nothing else will do. Edited February 2, 2009 by Silearth Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yes, the intentions were good, but they just didn't seem to come out properly. And you're right Sil, the idea of a big burger like that making it in a fast food joint doesn't seem to work. Harvey's Duo burger for example has got to be one of the best products out there. Harvey's makes every burger right on the spot, and when the burger comes out it's smoking. When was the last time anything you ordered at Mcd's was too hot too handle? The red onions were a good touch. The bun, a cool idea...but I'd prefer that it be hottesque rather than cold and crumbly. And I whole heartedly agree...nothing like the local joint to make a best burger. I think a problem that afflicts this burger is, as you noted Silearth, the fact that the pattie is so huge. And because they're not making the things to order, it's always going to be well done. Yuck gogo Link to comment
FrostElfGuard 9 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 So. Um. I guess they are duplicating A & W's "Uncle Burger". the UB is thick and drier than their normal hamburger. Nothing tastes like a great Mozza Burger from A&W. I suspect the secret is the fat they use to soak their burgers. Ummm. "In n Out" is U.S. only chain as far as I know (they have them in L.A., haven't been there...but Joe Scalzi swears by them.) Expensive "hamburgers": avoid avoid avoid! Link to comment
stubbie 21 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) A hamburger just ain't a hamburger unless it has beetroot Edited February 3, 2009 by stubbie Link to comment
Ike 1 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Icck. I don't eat burgers at fast-food chains, with the exception of Five Guys -- I think fairly local to the D.C. area. All they make is burgers and fries. When a fast-food place makes a dozen different kinds of food, you can pretty well bet their burgers are going to stink. Burgers need to be flame broiled, cooked properly, and served fresh. Not going to happen in most chains. Why do you still eat at McD's GoGo? Have you learned nothing?!?! Link to comment
Erling 3 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 lol, a friend of mine worked at mcdonalds in the kitchen a few weeks, he took a picture of the kitchen with his cell, I've never been in a mcdonalds since then. Link to comment
fRACTAL 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 This is the last time.Ever I promise But even though I keep saying it and going back this time it's for real. I've been served raw Chicken Mcnuggets twice now by Mcd's. Once the quivering pink flesh inside the nugget was jiggling so much I almost retched. And...this time...the last time...it was a burger. From So why did you change your mind when you knew what to expect gogo? ~Doom Link to comment
Epox 2 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 mcd is good hangover food, because you pjuk after ya eaten it Link to comment
Pyrobelle 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 ^^ I agree. theres nothing like eating crap mcd's when your drunk. it seems to be where everyone ends up after big nights out. as for "luxury" burgers at maccas, here in aus there doing the exact same thing. I think their latest one is the "seared chicken burger w/ chilli" and ofc now they offer bacon as an upgrade. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Why do you still eat at McD's GoGo? Have you learned nothing?!?! It's those two for one coupons they send in the mail...I just can't seem to say no to them... halp gogo Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 lol, oh Tim got yah there gogo. Want me to burn those coupons for yah? I'd even let you watch. *flicks lighter* Link to comment
Silearth 6 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Oh come on guys, Mcdonald's is not that bad. Sure, I hate the angus burger but the big mac is nice. I have even gotten them hot a couple of times. You just have to get there when they are running behind and you'll get one fresh of the assembly line. Of course there are better alternatives, but when I crave a mcsomething nothing else will do. Link to comment
Borg 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I quit going to the fast food joints awhile back ( well maybe Taco Bell but rarely even there) I prefer to take the time and cook my own. But I do use carry out at the local restaurants abit Link to comment
