McDonalds Grand Mac... isn't Login/Join

The Grand Mac, and upsized version of the Big Mac. From the pictured you'd think a Big Mac made with two quarter pounder patties.

You'd be wrong.

You will instead find 10% more bun, 2% more meat. It is the same wafer thin patty that is used on the Big Mac, just EVER so slightly bigger. It is smaller than the bun. So much so that they shift it to one side so it appears to be bigger, when in fact there is more bun than beef.

Grand larceny maybe, but not a Grand Mac

Why they didn't just use the 1/4lbs patties is beyond me.
I might get the Mac jr if I want a quick snack, but I'll never get the "grand" again.

Your fault for getting a "burger" there. Everyone knows that the best fast food burgers come from Hardee's (Carl's Jr. for you left-coasters).

McDonald's is only useful if you can locate the elusive McRib.

I eat at McD's all the time, but only for breakfast items that are $1.00. Other than that, I don't go there unless absolutely necessary. I used to think their coffee was okay and asked the wifey-poo to bring me a cup one morning when she made a breakfast run a month or so... loads of coffee grounds in the bottom and it tasted like mud! Mad

So far they haven't managed to screw up their hotcakes or biscuits... they're still consistently good where I stop to grab a bite.

Good coffee, plain burger and free WiFi at McD. Everything else is crap.

I had one last week and thought it was decent actually for 5 bucks.

It felt like a Big Mac did to me when I was a kid, actually kinda well BIG.

Your stats are off, this is what I looked up on the size compared to a regular Big Mac:

Big Mac: 2 each 1/10th pound patties (1.6 oz each)
Grand Mac: 2 each 1/6th pound patties (2.66 oz each), plus another slice of cheese

Bring back the Big Mac jingle.

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame-seed bun!

My wife and I used to really like Fudruckers. One day, several years ago, we found the door to the local Fudruckers franchise locked and there was a notice from the County that it had been closed due to unpaid taxes.

The local 5 Guys is terrible, inasmuch as I like my burgers medium rare. 5 Guys will only serve them one way: incinerated to a charred crisp. The fries are great, the burgers are awful.

Fudruckers is the last place I'll go for a burger.

They didn't have to in order to sell it. OP kinda speaks to that fact. Smile


I haven't been to. McDonald's voluntarily in probably five years, more before that. We took my son last week as his reward for doubling down on the potty training, he has wanted to "go play at Old McDonalds" for months since some other kid at daycare let him in on the secret. I got a double quarter pounder and wondered why there was only ketchup and a teaspoon of chopped onions on half the bun. Then I remembered where I was, and why I was there. I remembered begging my parents to go when I was a toddler also, and my parents groaning and complaining about the food. It came full circle, and I had to admire the genius of the business model. I found myself wondering why they didn't put lettuce and pickles on the burger and I realized, they don't have to, they have a playground so I bought the burger anyways. If the food was good, they might have sold a burger or two on occasion. Since they have a playground, they'll sell entire families meals every night.

McDonald's is for kids, and grown up kids wanting to tickle the neuropathways that bring back carefree happy days of youth. McDonalds is not for food that satisfies rather than disappoints. If you disagree, take a careful look at the happy people in the kitchen.
