If McDonald’s tweaks the taste buds, it’s likely to spark fear but also curiosity among many fans. Because the popular Big Mac is no longer available in its usual form from Tuesday. The classics from the burger chain are prepared again and slightly modified for the first time. At a tasting in the branch at Mariahilferstraße 22-24, the “Krone” was able to see with its own eyes how the new “Best Burger” preparation works and whether it can also score points in terms of taste.
Fresher, hotter, juicier: this is how McDonald’s advertises its new burger recipe for Big Mac & Co. Starting Tuesday, the burger chain’s classics will be prepared new and slightly modified as part of “Best Burger” — some for the first time since 1968.
The beef burgers, buns and individual preparation steps are particularly affected by the restart. The grill setting was adjusted and the onions were placed directly on the grill on top of the beef patties. In addition, the burger buns have improved in taste and appearance – they should be fluffier and more delicate in the future, as McDonald’s explained at the tasting.
New Big Mac and Double Cheeseburger impress in “Krone” test
And indeed: in the taste test, the new Big Mac clearly scores points compared to its predecessor, both visually and in terms of taste: The bun is airy, the taste of onion and processed cheese is more intense. But the special thing about the new Big Mac is the sauce: at the same price, there is now 50 percent more Big Mac sauce. Given the continuing price rises and the current developments in gastronomy, this is positive if ingredients have to be saved elsewhere in order to maintain the price at all.
Thanks to the fine tuning of the recipe, the new Big Mac sauce combines the individual ingredients even better into a total composition. The classic tastes different from now on, but remains the same. Conclusion: A successful Big Mac 2.0.!
The new Double Cheeesburger was also convincing in the “Krone” test, where a light bun, onions prepared on the grill and even more tender, melting cheese provide an improved taste experience that you can see and taste.
Don’t be afraid of change
Fans of Big Mac & Co., who expect and love the usual taste, need not worry if hamburgers, cheeseburgers, Hamburger Royal with cheese, Hamburger Royal TS, Fliet-o-Fish or McChicken are now served in the 200 local restaurants in the Burge chain with a new recipe and preparation. It’s natural and necessary for things to change – this also applies to proven classics such as McDonald’s burgers!
