1030 calories of Michelin no-star daring, twice a Big Mac. I never go to McDonalds, but this thing has had so much publicity that it made sense to split one with the OH at the local drive-thru in Arizona.

Verdict:

If you love Big Macs, then this is for you assuming you are starving. Different sauces, no tomato, a slight increase in the other veggie content compared to 500 calories for a Big Mac or 700 for a Double Quarter Pounder.

If you want a proper hamburger with lots of vegetable topping and a fresh bun, patty grilled to your taste and possible a third of the calories, then this may not be on your dining roadmap. Glad I did it, but not likely to repeat.

I tried one a while back - not for me.

All I can recall is that it tasted of Quality Street coffee sweets frown

Big arch could do with some sauté onions from the Philly cheese stack, I reckon they would tackle some of the tartness of the Arch sauce.
