There is a lot to McLove at McDonald’s, but a former cook has revealed which items consumers should avoid.
Unless you’ve been living under or on an extremely isolated rock, you’ll be well aware of the popularity of fast food juggernaut McDonald’s.
Everyone has their go-to order, whether for a celebration or a cheeky hangover lunch.
Because of its popularity, learning about the restaurant’s inner workings is always interesting – which is where Mike Haracz comes in.
Haracz is a former McDonald’s chef and also held the title of Manager of Culinary Innovation for the US menu for four years.
He explained, “I believe the folded egg utilized in their breakfast sandwiches is dry and lacks flavor.
“And the new bun is not as good as it used to be, so I would recommend asking for it steamed for a better burger experience.”
However, Haracz clarified that his counsel was based on ‘personal taste preference’. He reiterated that there is nothing to avoid in terms of food safety.
However, if you are seeking for a superb order, Haracz has you covered with a classic.
He stated, “The finest option is the quarter pounder with cheese, but you must eat it within a few minutes of being served to notice the difference.
“The United States has converted to grilling fresh beef to order for quarter-pounders.
“If you wait too long to eat it, all of the quality improvements are lost and it tastes the way that it used to.”
And, believe him, there’s nothing worse than a lukewarm McDonald’s burger.
During his tenure at McDonald’s, Haracz performed sensory and quality testing on products and ingredients, so he probably knows a thing or two about how to get your McMeal on.
