After my holidays I was gathering my colleagues and told them that we are going to try a different burger. Of course they were very happy about it, and joined naively. They didn't know that I was about to take them to McDonald's. After they found out, they weren't happy, but I told them that it's not me making the rules of the quest, but the quest itself.
Anyway, I heard about the Big Tasty Bacon burger, and I've been told that this would be an extraordinary burger. In a meal the price was 8.40€ which was good, since I've only had a restaurant voucher with exactly that value and wasn't carrying any cash at all. I wanted to top the meal with additional ketchup, but simply couldn't afford it... there's a first time for everything I guess.
Evaluation:
After a short wait, I got my burger, fries and diet coke and tried to find an empty table. I don't often go to McDonald's, but I was shocked at the fact that this restaurant always seems to be cramped. There were mostly students, but also young mothers with their little kids.
The Big Tasty Bacon, with 840kcal, was optically no surprise, but didn't look anything like in their advertisement.
The meat was too dry and had a taste which reminded me of cardboard, furthermore there was too much "tasty" sauce on the burger and the bacon was crispy but had not much taste. The sauce, the main feature of a fast food burger, was okay. It seemed to be made of mayonnaise and mustard which is in my honest opinion not the worst combination. The lettuce and tomatoes were pale but alright, nothing spectacular though. The raw onions which are not my favorite ingredient were tasteless, good thing in this case. I think I have to admit that I am fan of their fries though, they were hot and crispy. You must be familiar with my opinion about the sweet soft buns.
If you want to know more about my opinions of McDonald's please read my review about Mc Donald's Big Mac.
This burger wasn't bad, but if we talk about McDonald's, I think that the Big Mac stays my favorite, at least if you don't consider their seasonal specials. I also found that with 8.40 € the Big Tasty Bacon was overpriced, since I left the restaurant hungry.
The weighted rating is 5.08

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI recommend, You try next time the "Royal TS", that's useally my favorite. Since that burger is probably not sold very much, they have to make it specially for You. Of course, You'll have to wait a little, but You get it warm, and as it weighs (the meat) the same as the Big Mac, it's much more juicy. And in their Srassen-joint, seems to be a new manager. The employees are in a good mood and very polite, and there are more employees than in the others restaurants.
