Remember when Carl's Jr had the Six Dollar Burger, but then they had to change the name because instead of a clever marketing gimmick, it was just an accurate description of the hamburger.

Mushrooms on a Burger?

Go home McD, youre drunk.

Dude, screw you. Mushrooms and swiss on a burger is delicious!

 

[BrassMonkey1010]

I wish people would stop assuming everyone has accessibility to great local restaurants.

Guess I shouldn't assume anything, its just pretty shocking to me...I have maybe 20 local restaurants 10 minutes or less from me and I live in "amish county" pennsylvania..

 

[jamesinclair]

Angus is a type of cow. Sirloin is a specific part of the cow. It is possible to have it both ways.

Seriously wtf is this shit

Do people not get that "100% Angus" is the same as saying "100% cow"?

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

Didn't they take an axe to their menu because it was overcrowded? This will sure help.

Sill mad they got rid of Chicken Selects.

why do people go to Mcdonalds for $5 burgers? I can get a much better fresh burger from a local joint for that price.

Fast food is all about those cheat days where you get like 8 things off the $1 menu imo.

No it's about finding one that's open 24/7 and you and your drunk friends need something to eat at 2 in the morning. And only if you can't find a Whataburger.

 

[BobTheFork]

I think people saying that customers don't know about good, local burgers places are crazy.

Customers know, they just don't care. They aren't interested in local burgers places, they just want to drive through for cheap. They have no interest in quality at all...most people.

It's one of the reasons McD's can't sell premium food; their customers have no interest in it.

yeah but when you are drunk at 2am you arn't ordering a premium burger, you ordering a bunch of cheap shit.

 

[Malreyn]

Mushrooms, on a burger?

And not quite buying the, "premium steak", I wonder where they got the Stirloin beef from though.

What's wrong with Mushrooms on a burger?

I pity all those who have yet to have a Swiss mushroom onion burger.

 

[RPGCrazied]

And yet when you get it, it won't look anything like those pictures. Maybe its my Mcdonalds, but it never looks like the commercials or pictures.

 

[Shanlei91]

People don't like mushrooms on burgers? Weird.

 

[Oddduck]

What's wrong with Mushrooms on a burger?

Absolutely nothing.

 

[Crud]

I wish people would stop assuming everyone has accessibility to great local restaurants.

LOL

 

[RdN]

That Bacon & Cheese options sounds good to me. Will have to try it out.

 

[Dead Prince]

it's hit on miss depending on location. but it can look like the promo picture if they stop burning the buns.

 

[TheExodu5]

First off, Angus is a type of cow. Sirloin is a cut.

Second, sirloin is a terrible cut to use for burgers. Lean and tasteless.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Maybe in big cities. I live in a rather... small town, so I guess they don't need to try as hard. lol

They are back at least for now.

 

[Chris R]

I've never been a fan of Sirloin burgers. Same kind of mouthfeel a 93% burger gives I feel.

 

[Fox Mulder]

They need to be making their menu smaller not bigger though.

Their new menu is so dumb and shows how little variety they actually have.

Other places are stomping their ass with premium limited items like at Wendy's, McDonalds definitely needs to do this too. The fucking mcrib doesn't count.

 

[way more]

Nobody mentioned the wood paddle it's served on?

The sandwich is apparently served on a wooden paddle.

Pretty gimmicky but gimmicks work for 5 guys.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Ok people you tell me where I can go and get food in a few minutes at a local place? All fast food is pretty much terrible for you, so I'm not entirely sure why McDonalds gets so much flak.

 

[Dead Prince]

they must have used the paddle to squash it down lol.

 

[Dennis]

Christ, why does everything have to be cheap cheap cheap?

Just bring back the Angus.

Grocery store or Deli, that's where I go now. I either bring my lunch with me to work (which is really the way to go) or I go to the grocery store and go to the deli section. I get a salad of a wrap they have ready or sometimes some wings.

Making your own lunch is my top recommendation. It took me a long time to move away from buying lunch every day. I had to find something I like and want to eat. I find time on the weekend of the night before to make something I can bring in portions.

Right now I'm bringing in 2oz of almonds for a day snack and some chicken and cabbage dish I threw together.

 

[Fried Food]

The bacon clubhouse burger they do is actually legit.

 

[nictron]

I laughed, audibly so.

 

[GringoSuave89]

people don't believe mushrooms can be on a burger? wtf?

They sound interesting, but if the wooden paddle is the norm and not for a launch preview or press event, that's pretentious as fuck. It's Mickey D's, sit down.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Christ, why does everything have to be cheap cheap cheap?

Just bring back the Angus.

Noone bought the Angus because it wasn't cheap cheap cheap.

And this isn't priced too fairly either.

 

[ReAxion]

Grocery store or Deli, that's where I go now.

With a drive-thru?

I work in a business park. The closest possible place to eat that isn't a gas station is a McDonalds. I have only 30 minutes for a lunch break. If I don't bring a lunch, my only option is fast food.

Then bring your lunch. Either that or eat crap I guess. I'm not trying to say there is always a perfect solution. but To people saying my only option is bring lunch or eat crap at McD's, you should bring something. Hell a burger you cooked the night before would be better than McD's.

Not judging people for eating there at all. I think the post I started with said 'where else should I eat? People call McD's crap but it's all crap for fast food.' Yeah it kind of is all crap.

I'll go to subway. I don't love it but I'll get some turkey and tomatoes in wheat and I feel better than if I ate one of these burgers.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Looks good, but will it look good IRL?

 

[Toothless]

Put sautee'd mushrooms on any burger, and it's instantly better. It's only gross if you're at Red Robin, and they give you way too many mushrooms, but in moderation, they taste amazing.

 

[HBP]

Better be on a damn wooden paddle at the drive thru also.

 

[Zoolader]

Mushrooms on a Burger?

They also invented the cheesburger, pickles, and kethcup! What will they think of next?

 

[PandaShake]

I'll try it. I liked jack in the box's sirloin burger, but their buttery burger now isn't bad too. I feel like taking a shower after eating one though.

I clearly said "If I don't bring my lunch" and your solution is to bring my lunch. Thanks?

 

[shiftplusone]

All you anti "mushroom on burger" people should be euthanized

HOWEVER, I would never trust mcdonalds with mushrooms.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Mmmm. That Steakhouse burger sounds so good. :3

 

[BobTheFork]

I clearly said "If I don't bring my lunch" and your solution is to bring my lunch. Thanks?

Np. You also said 'where else can I go?' and then said there isn't anything else near your work park you can go to.. Sounds like you already had your answer?

 

[ReAxion]

So now you know there are real world scenarios for why someone would go to McDonalds. I hope this has been an enlightening experience for you.

 

[Septimus Prime]

All day breakfast menu or gtfo

Seriously! Send these sirloin burgers back and just put McGriddles there.

Also hash browns.

 

[BobTheFork]

So now you know there are real world scenarios for why someone would go to McDonalds. I hope this has been an enlightening experience for you.

As if I didn't hedge my comments with 'I know there is no perfect solution' enough. Why is this coming at me btw? I never said there is no reason to eat there. I said they serve garbage. That's still true. I eat there sometimes...still garbage

 

[ICPEE]

I'm losing my mind here. Why in the world would mushrooms on a burger be gross? Unless of course you dislike mushrooms to begin with.... But, seriously, mushrooms and cow meats go together better than anything. You put mushrooms on your steak, why not a burger? It's delicious.

Mushrooms are fucking awesome. I always have them when I eat out with my girlfriend.
Oh and fuck McDonalds. A friend here in South Africa found maggots in her McNuggets just last week. I aint setting foot in any McD's again.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I love mushrooms, just maybe not on a mcdonalds burger. mcdonalds had cheap ass rubbery mushrooms that were often drowning in mayonnaise on their salty angus burger.

 

[Box of Kittens]

Second, sirloin is a terrible cut to use for burgers. Lean and tasteless.

This. Sirloin has its virtues, but making good burgers is not one of them.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

If someone wants a premium burger, they aren't going to McDonald's.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I've never met a burger with mushrooms in it that I haven't liked.

 

[disappeared]

Just bring the fucking Arch Deluxe back already. There was nothing wrong with that burger.

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

putting mushrooms on burgers is just as bad and downright evil as people who like putting pineapple on pizza
