What was the point of the chef thing constantly showing "mc donalds chefs", if they admit how crappy they are made

I was going to do a lamb roast tonight but I want a big mac now.

I tried the Steakhouse Sirloin burger for lunch today.

I was surprised at how photogenic the burger is.

Not the healthiest option and it was a little too salty but definitely was filling and the meat is so much better compared to the crappy mini pucks McD's generally serves.

I wish all of the burgers were that size Pattie.

Overall cost $7.36 w/Med Coke, no fries.

Burger King burgers are so much better it's not even funny.

disgusting

 

[BobTheFork]

disgusting

This. Their fake flame-broiling flavor is horrible. I always assumed it comes out of a little aerosol can they spray on the burger before you get it.

It's not false advertisement. That is a Big Mac. It has all the ingredients of a Big Mac, it's just presented in the most flattering way possible. False advertisement would be showing tomatoes on it, as a Big Mac doesn't come with tomatoes.

Check out a cereal ad sometime. The cereal, which has had every individual flake hand-selected, is probably in a bowlful of Elmer's glue. This is considered okay, because they're not advertising milk, but the cereal has to really be what is sold in the box.

How is that not the exact equivalent of padded underwear, which is the example given for "false advertising" in all the major dictionaries. O.k., I made that last bit up .

Just don't fuck with the little onion bits

I had one of their sirloin burgers for the hell of it last night.....never again ordering a "premium" Burger from McDonald's. Thing was gross, tasteless....I couldn't even taste the cheese it was so fucking bland. Dollar menu seems to be the only thing I would ever stop there for. If there is a Wendy's nearby I would rather get some Jr deluxes for 20cents more

 

[soleil]

I miss the Big N Tasty.

 

[Crud]

late but still.

 

[Technosteve]

they can't even get to wendy's level of burgers

 

[Easy_D]

The joys of a freshly made cheeseburger is 2 good. The bread is actually crispy

Yeah I remember when I saw a 60 minutes segment on this subject, blew my mind and changed my life.

Wish they would bring back the Root Beer here in the UK, used to love that.

Wendy's is amazing in that ever since they redid all of their locations with the whole new look, etc. they consistently put out the most impressive /looking/ fast food in terms of matching the marketing. Yeah, its no perfect but when I pull out a Baconator - its in great condition and looks appetizing as hell.

 

[Rentahamster]

Lol. That ad is a huge fail, to anyone with half a brain, that isn't half asleep or stoned; so to get the "advertisement" shot, they use the exact same ingredients, including quantities, but they carefully place all of the two pickle slices etc, at the front of the burger, and innocently proclaim (indirectly) that this isn't in anyway false advertising. Well, at least the Supreme Court would wholeheartedly agree...

It's the same stuff, just presented in the nicest way possible. Hardly anyone in real life would sacrifice 30 minutes of their time waiting for a burger so that it looks pretty, when it could come out tasting the same in 5 minutes instead. It's called "fast food" for a reason.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

With all the changes they are making, if any of them work, it's going to be really hard to pin-point what exactly did work.

Yeah they are not following the scientific method at all 💀

 

[Buddha Beam]

But will they still be edible if you leave them sitting there for 6 years? That's the important question here. When the zombies come, I'm holing up in a McDonalds for that very reason.

 

[PeskyToaster]

If consumers push for higher quality ingredients and McD's caves, agriculture as a whole will probably get reformed.

 

[fivepersondude]

The burgers are too thin for a start, also why do they never look like they do on the menu

Aren't the menu pictures plastic models?

 

[Not]

but not how its employees are treated

I'm surprised literally no other burger chain swipes the In and Out model. Do they hate unbelievable success and renown? Or is being awesome copyrighted somehow?

 

[painey]

Aren't the menu pictures plastic models?

no, but they are raw
