Wine glasses, tablecloths and roses at McDonalds?
This is one of those questions that I never thought I’d ever ask or answer in my lifetime. I recall last year speaking to a McDonalds executive at the Seared Chicken burger launch and impressing on her my love of Wagyu burgers. She seemed interested enough but I could see that there were probably 1,000,000 reasons why they couldn’t do it. Fast forward almost a year later and I find myself upstairs in the George Street store in a cordoned off area. There are red roses on the tables, tablecloths and wine glassses and a floral arrangement. And the reason? McDonalds have released two Gourmet Angus Beef burgers.
There are two burgers in the new range, the first one being the Grand Angus which has the Angus patty, red onion rings, McDonalds cheese, lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayonnaise and salad and 2 pickles (yes I counted, pickle fiend here). Then there’s the more carnivorous option which is the Mighty Angus that has the Angus Patty, bacon, cheese, mayonnaise, red onion rings as well as and caramelised onion relish on it. Both are on a rectangular sourdough type of bun although truth be told it is more like a hybird of a sourdough than an actual sourdough as it’s still soft but not an Artisan sourdough They’re presented to us by Daniel Gould who is the McDonalds Executive Chef. Yes, McDonalds has an executive chef – but more on that later!
Grand Angus $6.45
I try the first one (with chips and sachets of the sweet & sour sauce which is my favourite). I always find that there’s never enough sauce or pickles on burgers so I daub some more sauce and dive in. As for whether they are distinguishable as an Angus burger versus other beef burgers, the mix of Mcdonalds condiments mask the patty flavour so perhaps not although it’s not a bad burger at all. “I love McDonalds cheese” Daniel says in a rapturous tone. The patty is 150grams and he later explains that the gourmet burgers are what they call a “3 to 1 patty” which translates to “3 to 1 pound patty” as in they get 3 burger patties per pound (453grams) hence the larger 150 gram patty. Quarter Pounder burgers are 4 to 1 so their patties weigh 113grams and cheeseburgers are 10 to 1s so their patties weigh 45grams.
Mighty Angus $6.75
The second burger is their meaty option with all of the salad removed and instead replaced with caramelised onions (called tangy relish) and bacon. Perhaps its’ the fact that I’ve already had the better part of one burger and the fact that I love salad in burgers but I feel myself almost itching towards the first one. The upside of this one is that it is juicier and therefore there’s more sauce via the sweet caramelised onions and it is a more luscious burger but I’m the kind that buys a burger to takeaway and takes it home and then piles lettuce, tomato, beetroot and grated carrot on it so my preference as a salad lover is for the Grand Angus whilst I’d see most going for the Mighty Angus.
I’m interested in talking to Daniel Gould to get the lowdown on McDonalds. I ask him where he works and he says that he spends most of his time at the Thornleigh store where the Head Office is located and behind the store is the training centre with exactly the same set up as the “Made for you” lines (with the exception of the computer equipment). He says that these particular burgers took about 6-8 months to create from beginning to end. The process is they give him a brief and then he responds to it with his ideas and then every aspect of McDonalds corporate gets involved and when all are in agreement the burger is released.
He tells us of when he and his team went on a “Burger Safari” where they ate burgers from from all sorts of gourmet burger stores like Bite Me Burger etc to see what they were doing. And what of Wagyu? He actually did make up some Wagyu burgers for everyone to try and these were very well received at the Head Office but when it came down to costings, accessibility and market awareness of Wagyu and the fact that it was more premium than the majority of McDonalds customers would know or have eaten, it was decided that it would be Angus beef instead which had broader market awareness via their presence in supermarkets.
I wanted to know, what does a burger have to do to make the permanent menu? Apart from sales of course, these Angus burger will be part of the permanent menu which starts with the Premium range, the core range (Big Macs, Fillet O’ Fish and cheeseburgers) and then there’s the Value range. Most items are released and finish before the McHappy Day in November leading up to Christmas as dealing with new unfamiliar burgers can have an impact on the stores and their efficiency during the busy holiday season.
And as he loves the cheese so much, will we see another cheese? It comes down to costs. The seared and crispy burgers have a Coon cheese which is more expensive cheese but realistically speaking, probably not. There go my plans for a Wagyu burger with gourmet cheese I suppose!
Daniel Gould, McDonalds Executive Chef
What’s the most popular burger? It would be the humble cheeseburger in terms of number of units sold. They’re noticing that some customers (i.e. hungry men folk) buy one regular sized burger and top it up with a cheeseburger (an entree if you will).
And lastly the big question-have the burgers actually shrunk? They swear that they haven’t despite us being positive that they have. He tell us that it’s just us that have grown up bigger! Hmmmm…
McDonalds Angus burgers are available for $6.45 and $6.75.

The table setting in the 1st photo is gorgeous, I would never have guessed it was McDonald’s! And those burgers look pretty great, too!
too bad i cant win
still MAC rocks!! 
My favourite Maccas item was their Chilli Quarter Pounder – I was devastated when they took it off the menu. Now that you have the executive chef’s ear though, maybe you can hint at bringing it back
Hi Notquitenigella,
Love your blog
My favorite McDonalds burger is Fillet O Fish.
Has to be the quarter pounder – like the regular cheeseburger but a little bit extra. DROOL!
my favourite is the Junior Burger which is now just called a hamburger. the ratios are just right. and the cheeseburger runs a close second place.
My favourite McDonalds item has to be the cheeseburger. I’m with Daniel – I love McDonalds cheese! (in moderation, of course
)
Oh man. It’s Sunday morning, I have paper writing cabin fever and could kill a hamburger at the moment! I am intrigued about McD’s latest release – the first time I’ve been excited about a burger release for quite some time. I find myself heading off to McD’s more often these days, mainly for McCafe coffees.
My favourite item would have to be the strawberry sundaes.
Though I do have fond memories of the cheeseburgers. When we were kids, there was some kind of special offer where they were available for 50 cents each? Could this be true? Mum used to buy the limit (10 burgers) and we would put them in the freezer and microwave them for afternoon tea during the week. Those were the days, when a hamburger was a sensible choice for afternoon tea.
That’s easy – it’s the hot apple pie with a soft serve cone on the side. Before each bite is taken, I drape the pie through the icecream to ensure the perfect pie/icecream ratio. Best eaten anytime between 11pm and 1am!
Hi Lorraine,
I tried an McDonald’s Angus burger when I was in the States. In my defence I was a little hungover in Vegas and it was the only food I could find within a short walk that didn’t cost 50 USD. I thought the burgers were pretty decent, not superb. And I agree, wagyu burgers are awesome, I’m a big fan of the Plan B burger. Oh my fav maccas item, the cookies.
They look yummy. I should have gone to the tasting. Maybe next time..
i am a mcchicken burger lover! and what else is good about it? it has the heart foundation tick, that’s double tick for me
I used to work in McDonald’s during my uni days (oh those days seem so far away now…) and because I lived in Darwin where there’s hot weather everywhere, I took an inkling towards Oreo McFlurry. And so even now, it’s Oreo McFlurry WITH french fies (yes, I dip the french fries in ice cream). IT’S WEIRD, I know, but I love it!
No one else can make hot cakes like McDonald’s, I buy them & make happy stacks with fruit & cream, then pour the syrup over the top, I tell the family I made it “Well I did stack them up”,
My hubby would love the Mighty Angus, he always sneaks off for Macca’s when I’m away!
Fillet-O-Fish! I loveeeeeee the soft soft bun!
I loved the Name It burger, which they later named the Backyard burger. It had to be the best burger I had at Macca’s! I cried a little inside when they took that off the menu. *Sniff*
I love the Fillet-O-Fish the best!
i really love their hash browns for that breakfast beginning a road trip in the early morning.
The Happy Meal is my favourite! The cheesburger, fries and drink you can enjoy right away and the toy you can enjoy forever!
My fav McDonald’s burger is the McEgg! Not available in Australia, but in Malaysia where I grew up and prob other Asian Mackers too.
I’m another who shed a tear when the Backyard burger was taken off the menu. :} Love the McLean burger on the regular menu when I’m in the mood for salad. Love the Quarter Pounder when I’m feeling carnivorous. Love the strawberry sundae. Oh, and love the closest thing to Jimmy Dean sausage in Oz on a Sausage & Egg McMuffin.
If I really have to have an artery-clogging, heart-busting, gut-expanding McDonald sandwich, then I’d go with the Sausage and Egg McMuffin.
Other than that I steer clear of that place..
I have a few favourites from McDonalds! Can’t go wrong with the classic cheeseburger and fries. Also love the breakfast menu – bacon and egg McMuffin! Shame they don’t serve brekkie all day. :p
I love the apple pies. They’re good to eat as a snack on long car trips, or as a sweet finish after other food items!
And back in the days when I didn’t eat meat, I liked to fill up on them with my chips.
My fave is a McChicken
Cheeseburger for me. I’m a pickle fiend too, and salad , but hold the beetroot please!
McDonalds cheesburgers are the best by far. Imagine my horror when I tried “the other brand” cheeseburger as McDonalds was nowhere in sight. Yuk!
Love the Grand Angus/Mighty Angus. Family have been alerted already:D
I have always been a fan of fillet o fish even when i was young (want into cheeseburgers) hence i missed out all the toys that came with Happy Meals!
oo new maccas burgers…. yum ^^
i love deli choice chicken caesar roll…
I love the crunchy outside & soft inside of the fries,they put just the right amount of salt on them too.This could describe how I like my man too,hard masculine shell & soft marshmellow sensitive inside.
Favourite – definitely the sausage & egg muffin. it’s the only thing I eat at mackers – though i’d be happy to try out this new angus burger!
I love double beef & cheese! Too bad they’re off the value picks menu, it was my favourite late night snack for $2!
definately chocolate sundae with caramel sauce down the bottom. its like an icecream version of caramello koala’s and is to die for.
The best item ever on the menu was the McDelicious dessert… a choc-chip choc-mud muffin in a plastic cup, topped with soft serve ice cream and warm chocolate fudge sauce. It probably had a day’s worth of calories in one serve but was divine!!! Drool…. bring it back!
Love this review! Since I’ve been a grown up I haven’t been a regular at McDondalds. Perhaps it stems from the fact that I worked there for 8 years as a teen and through uni.
I think this new Angus line is enough to tempt me back.
My favourite Maccas burger has to be the classic Big Mac. It’s the perfect ratio of meat, lettuce, bread and sauce.
I had the Mighty Angus burger for lunch, with sized-up fries (like always!) and came away unimpressed
For some reason I found Hungry Jacks burgers to be more fulfilling and beefier than the Mighty Angus, which didn’t distinguish itself from the regular McDs burgers enough for me despite the Angus hype.
I’m a big fan of the Plan B burger, and would eat it more often if not for it being a messy takeaway ordeal and other distractions like Gumshara in the CBD
Back at home in March McDonalds always rolls out a mint milkshake that is a lovely shade of green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. They are only available for a couple of weeks a year and they are my absolute favorite.
Hiya NQN,
Do I have to choose just one! My favourite savoury item is the Quarter Pounder ( with the cheeseburger onions) and my favourite sweet item is the apple pie
LOL – there’s something unnerving about silver service Maccas – no matter how gourmet.
so glad you reviewed the angus burgers. i saw it the other night when i was driving past, and ive been itching to know how they faired.
i love love love mcdonald nuggets! they actually taste of chicken =]. although, when i was in seattle, i remember the mcdonald’s there had ‘cheesy fries’ – just the regular macca’s fries with melted cheese. to my memory, i think they had some bacon bits in them too. that would have to be my fav, so divine! <3
My fave is the classic BigMac
Has to be the fries, nothing else tastes quite like them!
I’m in shock! My favourite Maccas item is by far their apple pies! It’s my guilty pleasure. I’m also a fan of the old cheeseburger too!
Large fries and a 30c cone to dip fries into. Yum!
Definitely a quarter pounder with chips on it.. I too am a pickle NUT and am pregnant.. it’s true what they say that pickles are a preggo’s best friend!!
Has to be bacon and egg muffin and a coffee, when you’re running late to work and feeling crappy in the morning its a life saver.
I had the angus today (without bacon..the one w salad!)
and on teh box it does say “soft sourdough bun” so maybe intentional?!
also..630 calories…almost died.
thats way more than the other burgers =( and the angus tasted very good…very fresh tasting..good meat..didnt feel yukky and regretful afterwards (unlike every otehr time i eat mcdonalds!)
Now there you go…making McDonald’s sound exotic. Only you could do that. Can I, Spinach Tiger, admit the Mighty Angus looks good.
My favourite is the Bacon and Egg McMuffin! I loved them since I was a child. The Bacon and Egg McBagel is good too, but they are only available in NZ
1 small chips is just enough, with a side of big mac sauce lol
I would have to say the hotcakes, drowned in butter and syrup. Delish!
hi nqn,
at the moment i’m lovin the crispy chicken salad (can’t remember if thats the actual name of it). yum
apple pies always a winner
A double cheeseburger laced with fries is something I crave often.
Alas! A fellow dip-your-fries-in-soft-serve! I also like asking for some strawberry topping to be mixed into my oreos mcflurry!
And I was devastated when they took away the curry sauce. Although the current mustard sauce does taste similar.
Does anyone remember the “The Big One”? It was like a big quarter-pounder with salad. That’d be my ultimate~
Also, one of my crazy friends swears by a Big Mac with Fillet-o-Fish patties.. Craszzzy~
chicken nuggets!
Everything else on the menu (and in life) has a downside except the McDonald’s Cheeseburger. It’s perfect.
Chocolate Sundae – I love their hot fudge sauce!
Has to be the cheeseburger!
I tried the Mighty Angus the other night and it’s really not bad at all
I confess to along standing love affar with chicken nuggets – I used to have them with curry suace, but that is no longer available so now its mustard sauce for me!!!
Sausage and egg McMuffin for me…I lurve the sausage patty!!!!
The breakfast items are definitely a favourite with me, particularly the plain sausage muffin. I can’t get enough of that peppery beef patty. Mmmmmm.
The Grand Angus is a close second now though, I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried one yesterday. It was rather delicious! I’m not sure if I could forgo the salad on the Grand to try the Mighty but might give it a go one day.
Had the Grand Angus yesterday, and found it quite nice. You can definately tell the difference in the quality of the meat patty, compared to the usual offerings of McD’s.
Also nice to have fresh onion slices not minute dots of onion.
But one of my favourite things is a fresh McChicken with Big Mac sauce on it (not the usual mayo).. so yum!
This tasty offering is also how I used to overcome the problem when McD’s used to premake their burgers and the lettuce on the burger would be all cooked and nasty by the time you got it.
So by ordering something different, I got fresh lettuce on my McChicken and all was good
The fries handsdown!! A McDonalds burger isn’t a burger unless you have the fries on the side!! And you can have them on their own without the burger therefore the one essential item!!!
PS: My husband tried the Angus Beef Burther in the US in July and said it was pretty good!! I instead opted to wait for a Vanilla/Vanilla cupcake from Magnolia!!!
Ooooops!! Burger!!! sorry
Definitely the cheeseburger! The meat:sauce:cheese ratio is just right. The quarter pounder is good in theory (who doesn’t want more meat?), but in practice the ratios are all wrong =P
My most fav items are the McChicken burger (something ’bout that chicken patty), double cheeseburger (can’t beat the cheese and pickles) and the McDonalds cookies are always so..um…soothing. Maccas did sell Southern Fried Chicken, and that was the BOMB. Such a shame they vanished, just as fast as they came.
Actually my favourite item was a sundae I had in Switzerland where the cup it came in was actually a cone cup so you could eat the whole thing!
My husband and I tried both the mighty and grand angus last night and we both prefer the ‘grand’ for the lettuce factor which made it seem like the healthier option??? Is that even possible?
As for favourites….my toss up is between the humble cheeseburger when I’m feeling like I want a treat vs the quarter pounder when I want something to sink my teeth into. I love the juiceiness of the 1/4-pounder….yummmmm…..
I love the deluxe cheeseburger – soft fresh bread, not too much meat, yummy pickle, creamy mayo, that delicious melted cheese… mmmmm top this off with fries with mayo and a frozen coke – perfect lunch / dinner or in my case – pregnany craving!
Interesting! I walked past the Angus burger sign in Wynyard the other day and I had a comical reaction where my jaw dropped and my eyes kept staring while I walked away :p
My favourite is a Big Mac with extra pickles! My partner always gets a Cheeseburger as an ‘entree’ followed by a Quarter Pounder or Big Mac meal!
Fillet-o-fish burger….grown up with it and i know it’s a burger they’ll never get rid of…they’ll downsize it but who cares, it still tastes great!
Most favourite (left over from my uni days) is fries dipped in sweet mustard sauce…yum.
2nd favourite is the sausage and egg mcmuffin…yum !!
and I craved McFlurry’s with each of my 3 pregnancies.
Hmmm. I don’t want to sound picky city folk but isn’t most of the beef that we buy/consume Angus? What breed do they use for their other burgers? For me Angus is not a big selling point. Now if it was wagyu (as you suggested)then I might feel differently….And my pick would be a hash brown and sausage mcmuffin when I’m feeling trashy and/or seedy.
I was wondering why my facebook was getting filled up with everyone talking about Angus burgers.
and now I know why!!!
the salad one actually looks pretty good for something coming from Macdonalds.
I might have to stray away from my cheeseburger and try one!
I have to say 10.30 change over time is the best. Cheeseburget + a hash brown. Put the Hash brown on the cheesy add some extra sauce and there you go. YUMO
Big mac with Mc Chicken patties instead of the beef patties!!!
with a side of the Mc Chicken sauce YUMMMMMMMMMMMM
Hmmmm……so many to choose from at maccas…….but nothing in the whole wide world beats maccas french fries….loved fondly since childhood. Last Sat, I had a massive craving (perhaps something to do with being preggie) to make a detour to Maccas en route drive home just so I could buy some fries even knowing that my husband had already bought me lunch and waiting for me at home!
I’m a bit of a self confessed carnivore…my favourite used to be the crispy chicken classic burger. Love the juicy chunk of chicken wedges between salad and a slice of Coon cheese..(prefer the taste of Coon cheese over plastic cheese). But now I’m hooked on Mighty Angus burgers. Onion relish makes me weak at the knees ><
Really unusual concept that McD has come up with, i’d still love to stick to the good old cheeseburger or double cheese burger if i’m realli feeling guilty. But my number one guilt trip at McD is its soft serve cones. Talk about consistency and comfort food for the last 20yrs!
oh I had one of these the other day at 2 m after a night out, it was delicious!
Hi NQN
Totally unbiased view..I like that!
Don’t eat much of the ‘Fast Food’ but now after reading you when I do at Maccas I have the new Angus Burger. Surprisingly it tasted so good!
Arun
Love your blog! My favourite Macca’s burger is a cheeseburger (after a night on the town of course)
My favourite McDonalds item is the Crispy Chicken Deluxe burger. The delicious salad mix coupled with the sauce are heavenly. Especially good at 12am when they are made hot and fresh.. yummo.
Hmmmm…this sounds interesting! Angus burders may turn into a Maccas favourite for my dad…I’d have to give it a try as well..of course! LOL
What’s my favourite item from McD’s? That’s a tough one…I love cheeseburgers, coz they remind me of when I was little, and asking for them as ‘Pickle-pies’…I could eat those pickles any time!
But, my guilty pleasure is buying a container of Big Mac sauce & dipping fries into it!! YUM!!! I love that sauce!!
Apart from the delicious fried I have just re-discovered the chicken nuggets.Crunchy on the outside succulent in the middle.They used to come with a curry sauce which I loved but the sweet & sour comes a close second.For fast food they never seen oily.Well done.
My favourite burger would have to be the Big Mac, because it’s just so fun to deconstruct! (1) The first part I eat is half of the top beef patty, sandwiched into the top piece of bread, with half the lettuce/sauce from the first layer. Then the rest gets consumed as follows: (2) second half of top beef patty, sandwiched into middle piece of bread, with remaining half of lettuce/sauce from first layer, (3) pickle(s), (4) remaining patty/bread together, uncheesiest section… All this if time permits of course!
never knew macdonald would have a actual chef~~ ^^ so cool~ before reading it. i thought it was some burger from some expensive restaurant~~ lol
well my favorite would be cheese burger~~~~they are delicious~ and cheap too lol
Gotta be a quarter pounder. The simplicity and tastiness of a Cheeseburger, with the size doubled.
An old Classic – The Big Mac with French Fries stuff inside!
My favourite Maccas item is the dollar apple pie, still so cheap and wonderful after a night out.
Cheeseburger is my favourite! Cheap, simple but so good.
Hot apple pie with a caramel sunday. when the ice cream melts over the hot apple pie and the crisp pastry mixes with the caramel sauce, its just heaven
I love the B&E McMuffin
I love the McDonald’s vanilla soft serve cone! That and the fries.
WEll I’m hooked onto the Grand Angus Burger, I don’t normally see an Ad and have to try it, but the Angus beef reeled me in (probably from having had a fantastic one in Burger King in the UK) I just had to go out and eat one of these yesterday for lunch. It was worth it and I’m not normally a MacD eater, But if I had to say what my favoutrite was up until this came out it would be the Fillet-o-Fish which I can stuff my fries into and I love the tartare sauce.
I love Chocolate Sundae… haha.. It’s the best simple and cheap dessert !!
For me, I’d have to say the fillet-o’fish…though I think the size has decreased!!! Grrr!!! (I do love the choc sundae but always wish that they put TONNES more sauce on it!) xx
My favourite item is McDonald’s Cookies!
Another great comp you’re running NQN! My fave Mcdonald’s item would definitely have to be the limited edition menu item i had overseas in Manila: TWISTER FRIES! —plus Icy Blue Sprite Float! yummo :p
i’ve linked it here for you to check out:
http://www.mcdonalds.com.ph/news/view/29
Cheers, Kat
I love the good ol’ cheeseburger – I think I’m the only strange person in the world who adores their pickles!
Definately the Hot Chocolate Sundaes, they cant be beat, although the Cherry Ripe Sundae sure gave it a run for its money a few years ago…
my favourite mcdonalds item is the apple pie. no others compare.
I can’t go past the Sausage & Egg McMuffin. A hangover cure for my late teens and early 20s. Now, just a quick breakie on a Sat morning to the shops! Yum!
After reading this review I think the Grand Angus is going to be mt favoutite-love tomato on my burgers. ‘Bye lean beef burger!
It’s all about the fries! I eat them as a meal.
Well it could be the Grand Angus, but at the moment it is the fabulous HOT APPLE PIE, ummmm yummy… Nothing like sneaking into mcdonalds on they way home and getting one (or two) eat on the way home… guilt free as no one ever has to know….
My fav Maccas burger would be Fillet O fish, but i think i need 3 of them to make me satisfied at once
Triple cheese absolutely, i’m always in for meat, cheese, more meat and did I mention cheese??
My fave would be a cheeseburger with no onions, but with all the pickles from my friends’ burgers. Yummo…a burger needs pickles!
i’d go with the quarter pounder but it must come with the blue frozen ice bubble gum flavour, disappointing when they had it only for a limited time only
Does anyone open up their cheeseburger, pile it with fries and then put the top on it and eat it? My bf says that I’m the only weirdo who does it
cheezeburgers rock!
Big Mac – simply ‘mac’nificent!
Ice cream with a flake – naughty but nice!
The MOST favorite one is double quarter pounder with extra cheese and bacon and extra sauce. hehehe… Do I sound so pig? ^_^
Well its yummy.
However all Maccas burgers do for me. All are my favorite tho!
Addition c30 ice cream cone is my fav menu as well for dessert. hehehe it’s a kick for that price
The Cheeseburger Deluxe – deliciously perfect balance of creaminess, crunchy lettuce and deep-fried meat…and at $1.95 is the perfect snack.
My favourite is nuggets with sweet & sour sauce… I could devour a 20 pack in one sitting. The crisp coating and the soft meaty filling, to die for!!
Would love to see what my husband thinks of these burgers
The limited Double Beef and Cheese.
Can I say anymore?
It was the best value burger. 5c cheaper than the Cheeseburger at $1.95.
It satisfies midnight craving.
It was my after concert/night out snack.
I was disappointed when they stopped selling them earlier this year.
I am still anticipating on the next DB&C (if it ever comes again)
frozen coke,ummmmm just cant beat it,especially on a hot day
Hi Lorraine!
I’m a huge fan of your blog!
And a huge Macca’s fan!!!
I used to eat Maccas everyday when I was at Uni hahaa.
Fave item – freshly fried fries! With just the right amount of salt and a dash of black pepper!
Second fave item – Oreo McFlurry!!! Yummmm
~
Have tried the Grand Angus – DELICIOUS! Hope I win a voucher so I can try the Mighty Angus next!!
i love the chicken nuggets!
my boyfriend wants to try buying 120 nuggets at a time…
My fav burger is the Big Mac MINUS the beef and add 2 fish filets instead. Delicious.. something about the mac sauce and the fish, it goes really well together.
U have to try it Lorraine!!! You might have the staff a little puzzled at first but they’ll manage to do it.
And to top it off I’ve never had to pay extra for the special order.
I cant believe you would buy a mighty angus & go home and put salad on it… really…. the special thing about this burger is that it is completely unhealthy, but tastes absolutely amazing….. not from a restaurant point of view, but in my opinion, if you go to mcdonalds to begin with you expect to go home with a greese filled bag, and this burger does that and soooo much more….
sorry, i didnt mean to sound angry.. lol… i love the mighty angus & respect the flavors it brings individually compared to the other burgers….
The Grand Angus is like a model – pretty outside but not very tasty, no depth. Give me a Big Mac any day!!
my favourite McDonalds burger is Big Mac! you can’t go wrong with a Big Mac!
Althouhg I was quite excited whilst I was eating the Mighty Angus. It wasnt someting that I was craving for more of.
I did try the Grand Angus as well at a later stage, but didnt think it was as good.
I may try to order a double qtr lb with the angus bun next time
My favourite McDonald’s item will have to be classic Fillet-O-Fish burger. I am from an Asian country Malaysia and over there, sometimes during promotional period, we can get a Double Fillet-O-Fish burger where it has two fillets instead of one. Just like the double quarter pounder here.
The hot caramel sundae yum!
Love your blog, it’s one of my favourites. Although i’m normally a happy meal kind of dog, i was recently presented with a morsel of the Grand Angus (ordered with only one slice of cheese + the caramelised onions from the Mighty Angus)and was very impressed!
Dipping the french fries into the chocolate hot fudge sundae!
My Favourite is McChicken, that’s the BEST burger !
Fillet-O-Fish is my absolute favourite ! I can easily eat three of them for dinner
I eat between 8-10 Big Mac each week for lunch. So Big Mac is my Number ONE !!!
My favourite is Apple Pies. They are so yummy…..
Hot chocolate sundae with EXTRA sauce. I ask for sauce on the bottom and the top. When it’s made just right with piping hot choc sauce it’s to die for!
Caramel Sundae, it tastes great and you can’t get a dessert like that anywhere else!
Apple pie for me.
It would have to be the cheeseburger! During the first 10 weeks of pregnancy with my now 11-month old daughter, a McD’s cheeseburger was one of the few things I could eat and keep down, and I craved them. They are no muss, no fuss and as a bonus can be eaten with one hand whilst driving and you don’t end up wearing it. Yum. Haven’t eaten one since then though…think I overdosed on them!!
Has to be a Cheeseburger!!! Yum! busybbee05(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au
Nothing beats Macca’s original SWEET & SOUR SAUCE… with nuggets, of course!
I don’t like much – but when my kids make me go… I usually have a chilly seared chicken wrap. Not too bad – grilled not fried, has a bit of real lettuce and dosn’t leave the greasy after taste!!!
M y favourite item is
C alled the
D elicious ’sausage & egg mcmuffin’
O riginal, unique taste. and costs
N ext to nuffin.
A lways fills the spot.
L ovely and hot.
D elightful sausage spice.
Sooooooooooooo nice!
MANGO FRAPPE! An absolutely delicious treat on a hot summer’s day (or any day!)
Well here I am at last able to say I love “McDonalds” hamburgers. The Angus beef one.
I’ve always rubbished their food, NOT NOW.
The Blueberry Muffins – not to sweet, not to much fruit, soft and slightly sticky – MY TREAT
