The recipe of the Big Mac is the greatest cheeseburger recipe of all time.

>double meat
>double cheese
>sesame seed bun
>lettuce
>pickles
>special sauce

It's only held back by the subpar ingredients you get at McDonald's. All the best cheeseburgers I've ever had, or cooked myself, basically were upscale Big Macs.

The third bun is unnecessary, it's the burger equivalent to loading a meatball with too many breadcrumbs as filler. It's not needed for stability or absorption of condiments, the sandwich eats just fine without it. If it was a different sort of strongly flavored or textured bread then it could justify its existence as a part of the sandwich but as it stands, it just makes the sandwich taste bready. That's never good on a burger to begin with, and when the bread is low-quality, as McD's is, that's doubly not a good thing.

I like Fillet O Fish and fries

>The third bun is unnecessary

This, and the big rosti solved the issue by having something you want to eat in the middle.

the big mac fucking sucks
can't believe they let their signature burger get upstaged like that

>>21479754
Their signature burger was always the cheeseburger. And it's still the same recipe as in 1954.

>>21479755
Bro the signature is always something with a unique name you can't get anywhere else. Baconator with Wendy's for example.

>>21479734
Filet-O-Fish is ALSO a great recipe that's held back by McDonald's' poor quality. I had a fish sandwich once that was basically an upscale Filet-O-Fish. Had the slice of cheddar and everything. Best fish sandwich I've ever had.

they started adding sautéed onions to the big mac in my country instead of the raw ones they should have. i dont even know how thats legal. anyway the big mac sucks now. it also costs like 12 euros so what the fuck

>>21479784
>12 euros
fk me and I thought australian prices were bad

How do you make special sauce

>>21479678
Nah the way the middle bun soaks up the special sauce is kino. It's a great burger. I wouldn't eat it all the time, haven't had one in years, but it's probably the best burger on the McDonald's menu and the only real reason to get a McDonald's burger unless there's literally nothing better available. Like OP said, their ingredients are pretty subpar, so a regular burger from them is just a shitty, subpar burger. Whereas the Big Mac somehow manages to elevate processed artificial slop to an artform in itself

>>21479894
I'm pretty sure it's just ketchup, mayo and relish mixed together

>>21479901

Effeminate opinion discarded

>>21479672 (OP)
It’s no bigger than old Donnie’s shriveled up balls these days..wow, many such cases!

>>21479908
Your mom's effeminate

>>21479940
She is.
Yours on the other hand, has a massive cock.

>>21479678
It's not unnecessary at all, it's far more pleasant to bite into than the usual double patty

>>21479949
You'd know, wouldn't you? Cocksucker

>>21479757
The big mac wasn't introduced until 1967. They grew famous off their cheeseburgers and speedy cooking system.

>>21479672 (OP)
The sauce is good but the sandwich overall is not good enough to justify the third bun and how messy it is to eat. I haven't eaten a big mac or a clone in years.

>>21479672 (OP)
You omitted onions, and a Big Mac only has 1 slice of cheese. Way back when they made them in batches you could tell if it had been held too long by whether or not the cheese had disintegrated.

the 3rd bun is actually genius desu doubles are too much and singles are too little so the bun in between makes it just right

>>21479769
The filet o fish is great if you luck out and they make one fresh

the double mcchicken is the goated burger

>>21479672 (OP)
it is soon to be surpassed, saar!

Big Mac would be good if they used the quarter pounder patties rather than the children's burger patties.

>>21479738
we've got this in Canada temporarily and it fuckin bangs
idk what the sauce is but it's got a slight horseradish kick to it that really balances the whole thing

Everyone always claiming they can make a better big mac

but nobody ever did

the mac jr/son of mac is superior. big mac has too much bun.

>>21480531
the big carl and bobs big boy shit all over the big mac.

>>21480547
For me? It's the Big King XXL

>>21480531
I live in the DFW Metroplex, and there's a hotel in downtown Dallas whose main restaurant has a "better" Big Mac as its cheeseburger.

Been eating this for years. Incredible burger.

>>21479678
>>21479951
this. its the same as the difference between folding the sliced meats on a sub vs stacking them

I wished they nixed the 3rd bun and just gave us bigger patties

I think the president should pass a federal mandate requiring that all hamburgers be sold at restaurants for $4 each, regardless of weight or ingredients.
