In an supersaturated market of burgers and “build your owns” it’s always intriguing when one of the big dogs jumps on board an existing trend. Regardless of your opinion about McDonald’s, I think we can all agree that they have, and always will be the burger king (pun intended). Ha. Ha.
So what happens when royalty is faced with a watered down market and consumer demand for customization? You start a new revolution. McDonald’s new “Create Your Own” is poised to re-define customization. With its fancy ordering screens, specialty fry baskets, and endless toppings, you’ll want to return to the king of quick service.
I’ll stop here and say that I was not paid for this post, nor am I going to be paid. Like always, we try and share new and interesting food news with our readers. Anyways, if you haven’t been inside a remodeled McDonald’s, you might want to take a second look. They generally have free WiFi, flat screens and unique decor. Couple that with their new customized burgers and antibiotic free chicken and you might just find a new love for the golden arches.
During a recent visit we built our own burger from a variety of cheeses, breads and toppings. We topped our burger with thick cut applewood smoked bacon, guacamole, sharp white cheddar and mayonnaise. There’s a million combinations and here’s what you can top on your next burger.
Start with a 1/4 pound of 100% beef or make it a double.Then, choose between a toasted ciabatta roll or a buttered toasted artisan roll. Then choose between these endless toppings to complete your burger:
- Pepper Jack Cheese
- White Cheddar Cheese
- American Cheese
- Guacamole
- Sliced Jalapeños
- Grilled Mushrooms
- Chili Lime Tortilla Strips
- Crinkle Cut Pickles
- Big Mac Special Sauce
- Sweet BBQ
- And More!
So, if you’ve been missing those famous fries and you’re craving a burger, head to McDonald’s to satisfy your next craving. #ImLovinIt
