Culinary Daring- I tried the McDonalds BIG ARCH.......

[RDMcG]

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

'Big' Arch?

Rather have a Whopper with bacon.

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.

Strange, almost as if there's a thread that's covered this. Multiple times just can't put my finger on it

Go to Carls Jr next time, much improved IMO.

All of mine have come with loads of sauce and that tastes overwhelmingly of mustard. But I like it. The normal hamburgers and QPs never have enough.
