The Grand Mac

>>8488427
Why doesn't the Bic Mack says new but the other too do?

>>8488427
I had one last year since Texas had them for a limited time. It was significantly bigger, but the patties were still disappointing.

>>8488431
That's just the way it is, junior. Now climb on back into bed.

>>8488431

It's not new

>>8488431
The legend, but bigger.Grand Mac™When that Big Mac craving calls for something more… sink into 1/3 lb* of 100% real beef seasoned with salt & pepper sandwiched between a sesame seed bun. All dressed with special sauce, crisp lettuce, onions, pickles and two slices of American cheese.

The legend, but smaller.Mac Jr™That iconic taste in a smaller size with a sear-sizzled 100% real beef patty, salt & pepper and special sauce sandwiched between a sesame seed bun. American cheese, crisp lettuce, onions and pickles top it off.

The one and only.Big Mac®Mouthwatering perfection starts with two sear-sizzled 100% pure beef patties and Big Mac® sauce, sandwiched between a sesame seed bun. American cheese, crisp lettuce, onions and pickles top it off.

I will have the Grand Mac in my possession soon. Will post results.

>>8488427
It's ok, It's bigger for sure but it just feels like more bread. When you hold it it almost reminds you of a big burger from an actual restaurant but then you take a bite and you find those little patties.

>>8488427
>New

Isn't the Grand Mac just the reincarnation of what the Big Mac used to be before it was reduced to the smaller imitation "Big" Mac it is today?

Ooh baby...

Certainly bigger than the OG. Classic, cheese-melted-on-the-box for added authenticity. The fries are in position... let's check the vitals.

Is this new? I'm pretty sure we had it in Norway last year for a limited time.

I was hoping for maybe a little more cheese, or sauce, or... anything really. And I was also hoping for the meat to be a bit wider and/or thicker. Hmm... oh well. Time to dig in!

When I got about 1/4 of the way in, I noticed that what remained was the amount of food that would be in the Original. I knew I was in for a filling. Sinking my mug into this monster brought back the nostalgic blend of flavors I have grown to love.

By the way, the fries were on point. Hot, salted well, and held thier quality throughout the meal.

I failed to mention when I grabbed the bag, I wrapped it tight to keep the food warm. I noticed steam seeping though the bag, assuring me that I was in for hot and fresh glory.

So what can I say about this experince?

Naturally it took longer to consume, which was nice because usually when I take that last bite of Mac, A short lived wave of sadness overcomes me. Like "I can't believe its gone! Waaaaah!" That didnt happen this time. I was satisfied, and my craving subsided. More topping and bread made it feel a tad underwhelming for a meat lover like me. I would probably get a mac jr any other time to satisfy without going overboard.
If overboard is your goal, do it.

If not, go with the classic.

If you're a craver to just savor the flavor, mac jr is for you.

If you dont like big macs, why are you here? Carry on with your "McChicken, the best fast food sandwich."

So what kind of Mac attack do you have, /ck/?

>Has anyone eaten one yet?

One. Not so great. Fluffy, lack of meat, same shitty too-light bun. I don't see what McD's had in mind with this. They need a burger with an actual beef patty and a decent bun with a little tooth to it.

>>8489931
This isnt burger king or Wendy's where they actually make the meat fill the bun.
Idk if its just america with gimped mcdonalds burgers. But overseas they just look better.

I liked it, a regular Big Mac is just too small.

>>8488427
it's alright but it aint got shit on a whopper from bk. the mach has too much bread for the amount of meat

>>8488427

Had one tonight. Amazing. Big Mac alwags just didnt feel like a burger to me. The bites were unsatisfying and the thing seemed to be most bread.

The Grand Mac on the other hand is meaty, with an amazing bite. Have to open wide. The center bread slice is thicker too giving a much more balanced texture. And it fills you up.

They better not treat this thing like McRib

>>8489603

If you want more cheese and sauce just order it. They won't say no.

Love Big Macs minus the meat generally being dry and bland.

Mac Jr solves that issue, and desu that shit was dope.

I would gladly eat 2 Mac Jrs over 1 Grand Mac or Big Mac.

when is the release of the grand mcchicken

>>8488427
I'd try it. But I fear my yuro stomach wouldn't handle that much meat and bread

am i allowed to get a double grand mac

>>8488427
Leave it to McDonalds to fuck up a chance to make the Big Mac decent.

>Nothing on the top bun, which is the largest
so its dry as shit.

>3 pieces of bread and 2 patties but only 1 slice of cheese and its under the fucking patty

Here is how a real Grand Mac should be done from bottom to top:

>bottom bun
>sauce
>lettuce and onions
>Quarter Pounder patty
>cheese
>middle bun
>light sauce
>pickles
>Quarter Pounder patty
>cheese
>onion
>lettuce
>sauce
>top bun

Every year they made the Big Mac 2% smaller until people started to notice, then they introduce a "new" burger that is just the ORIGNAL size to justify raising the price. It's like how most cans and sauces are funky (smaller) sizes so they don't have to raise the price.

>>8489938
I've never had a Big Mac because that sauce discourages me. What's it taste like or rather what is the sauce?

i dont understand the hype, its literally just a slightly bigger sandwich

>>8491159
I work at mcdonalds. We don't have the grand mac yet (soft launch on tue), but when we do I'll make it your way. Also, the grand mac has two slices of cheese starred on the bottom.

The main issue I see with this is the 2.5 shots of sauce – it's gonna be way too much. Also the pickles are always on top of your protein as a general rule.


It's always been a nagging thought that we put cheese on top of the meat for every sandwich except for the big mac and the filet-o-fish

>>8497007
Ok just had one. It's okay at best. Double Quarter Pounder is better.

I just had one today coincidentally and it was delicious and large. However much like other posters say in this thread, it was quite messy to eat. Also it's 870 calories by itself so I didn't get fries or soda. I will probably never get it again because it was so delicious and i'd just buy a hundred. I will probably stick with the mini mac.

So, it's Double Quarter Pounder big-mac?

>>8488427
I live in Columbus where they introduced it.
It's ok.

>>8497193
basically. Except the patties are "1/3 pounders"

Neither of which mean shit since 1/4 of a pound is 4 ounces. It just sounds big

more filling than the normal mac though, i suppose. But its really just more bread you're eating. I'd rather just buy two normal macs

>>8496627
Imagine a whopper-sized big mac only slightly smaller.

>>8489860
Jesus Joey SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH WHEN YOU EAT

Head on over to McDonald's® and use the app (which can be downloaded from the app store or google play store) to get FREE medium sized fries and drink with the purchase of any Grand Mac® or Big Mac®!

Just a bit bigger Mac, nothing to write home about.
That being said, it's still a Mac and tastes great.

>>8497505
It didn't, I actually went and they said it did not, so I got a pick 2 for 2.50 the mcdouble and a chicken sandwitch.
The mc double was so bad I threw it out after 2 bites.
Considering that the grand mac was ~$5.89 I can't imagine that was a good choice on their part.
I'm pretty sure their net gain would have been higher giving me a medium fry+soda(almost free) for an additional 3.49

>>8498012

Also before I bothered to attempt to grab a "grand mac" the grand mac has 1/6th pounders for a total of 1/3 lb of meat.
It's not 1/3 of a pound each for 2/3rd's a lb on the burger. the double quarter pounder has more meat at 1/2 lb.
Also if you are wondering why I bothered to run the numbers before I made an attempt on a 4chain post, it's because I work in what is a nearly literal food desert. It's crazy.
Before I started working here I had no idea what they meant by this term. When I go to lunch I've got the option of a few Chinese places McDonald and that's pretty much it. Grocery stores are far enough away that I can't get there and come back in time if I want to go to the store at lunch.

>>8488427
Wait, so it is the same fucking Big Mac, but just surrounded with a bigger bun and more toppings and sauce?

When will they just put the fucking Angus patties in there instead of those $1 menu patties?

I think I've eaten exactly one mcdonalds hamburger in my life.

I like their stock much more than their food.

No, for some reason the nips, europoors, and third worlders get the best McDs grub.

Using the McDonalds nutrition calculator, we can evaluate the true value of this meal by breaking down the ingredients by their macronutrient profiles.

So the entire sandwich represents 52g of fat, 41g of protein, and 62g of carbs

Removing the bun and mac sauce brings this down to 30 grams of fat, 30 grams of protein, and 6g of carbs.

Yes, the bun literally contains almost half as much protein as the beef patty.

If we remove everything but the beef patty, we are down to 23g of fat and 25g of protein which approximately a 4 oz serving of meat.

You're literally paying $4.89+ tax for less than 4 ounces of beef

I had one a couple of days ago. It was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.

Tastes great, very sloppy (which can be a good thing), and really filling. Got a medium combo and almost couldn't finish it all.

They should just offer a Big Mac with double patties like in Australia

>>8489938
I had McDonald's in the UK, and it's godawful compared to the USA version.

>>8488427
what the hell is the difference?
>2 patties
>3 pieces of bread
>cheese
>lettuce
>pickles
>sauce
>onions

>>8498066
well the big mac has 1/10th pounders for patties for a total of 1/5th pound of meat so it's still more than a big mac

>>8500275
More cheese, more meat, more bread, more sauce. By virtue of those, more onions and lettuce. Still the same two pickles

>>8498907
I would love to try those foods out. And Olympics would be the best time to try out their stuff from around the world. Just as long as they avoid a repeat of 1984, it would be a good test of bringing those things stateside.

Besides, their menu is too large nowadays. Too many items means they can't have a good enough quality control on every item before it gets pulled.

>>8497115
I see your point about the sauce and its something I was debating as well. Bottom line is the top bun needs sauce. Its too dry otherwise. The bottom bun does as well and helps prevent sliding. The middle could do with out but a little bit could help hold the ingredients in. I guess it depends on the amount of sauce you put on each. I guess if you are using a pump it could be too much. I was thinking a single thin pass with an offset spatula just to cement it and hold it together. The point of the pickles underneath the patty and above the middle bun is to lighten the middle bun a bit and to also give you a crunch halfway through and because there is already so much going on on the top bun as well as the fact that its less prone to sliding there.

I never understood the cheese under the meat thing or the bare buns on most of your sandwiches and I don't understand why something with two patties would only have one slice of cheese.

I also prefer diced pickles and onion to slices because you get more even distribution and you don't run the risk of taking a bite and having it all come off at once. Every bite should be more or less the same and encompass all ingredients.

I also don't understand sauce, lettuce, and onion on the middle bun leaving the top barren. The middle becomes mush and the top is dry.
