I love my gym. Unfortunately, its location tests me on a daily basis. First of all, it’s right next to a Starbucks, and I’m a prissy Persian girl, Starbucks’ marketing team thrives on us. Second, when I drive home, McDonald’s is on MY side of the road, so a detour to the drive-thru is on the way home. Darn you, convenience. After an hour of Zumba though, I convinced myself that today I deserved a treat. I pulled in thinking I’d order a Happy Meal just to curb the craving when something caught my eye.
Hubba Hubba Drool.
Screw the Happy Meal, bring on the bacon. Giddy as can be I didn’t even bother to wait until I got home, I put the fries in the cup holder and burger box in my lap. This is why we have red lights, right? I wish I looked at the odometer to see how many miles it took me to finish it because I inhaled it. Obviously, the expectations and standards of a fast food burger are pretty low, but I have to say it was a delicious burger. Tastes like actual beef (I know, duh) and not what I call “McDonald’s burger meat”. Good bun, more importantly, bun to beef ratio was on par. You know when you get a Big Mac and it’s half bread? None of that. I ordered the bacon and cheese angus burger and there was a good amount of bacon on there. That’s another point most fast food places miss with burgers, not enough bacon. I also was pleasantly surprised when I took a look and saw red onion. Fancy. Passing up the Golden Arches on the way home just got harder.
From John:
I actually had the same exact thing for lunch yesterday and have to agree that these things are pretty damn good. Unfortunately I was at work when I got it and had no intentions of doing a review, so enjoy these terrible pictures taken with my Blackberry.

“I wish I looked at the odometer to see how many miles it took me to finish it because I inhaled it.” – Haha. Seriously…..if you ever, god forbid, are in need of a new man/boyfriend/fiance phone me up…..immediately.
Varta, try not to put a ppo out on bear-he just loves food. Haha
@Stephanie – Haha, yeah you’re right, sorry Varta, sorry Stephanie…. I don’t mean to be a creepy weirdo
I guess I should really be after those Angus burgers…..or those crazy concoctions you’re cooking up! If only it was legal to marry a McGriddle….mmmmmmm.
I’m so conceited then. I was taking it as a compliment. hahahaha. All good you guys. I’m still just so happy for getting to post and stuff!
Bacon N Cheese…mmmm good. McDonalds w/ a burger that has red onions, new crinkle-cut pickles(I hate pickles, but enjoy these), and better-quality beef)…AWESOME.
The Angus Deluxe is awful.It contains 1700mg of sodium according to the McD website.
If the taste of this burger appeals to you save your monies and go to a hunting supply store and buy a deer salt-lick block.
The absolute worst burger on the planet.
Mushroom and Swiss minus the unnecessary mayo has absolutely no taste except the mushrooms and whatever seasoning they used to to spruce them up. Angus fried on a grill, leaves no flavor of beef, only the guilty shame of eating the whole grease filled bomb, because $3.99+tax is too much to waste and hunger demands something to eat. Call this burger the ‘bulimics special.’ I know this is in bad taste, but 6 hours later I can’t get the horror out of my mind. I needed to vent so I came here and see what others are saying about the new Angus.
Awesome article, I am a big fan of this site, keep on posting that great content, and I will be a regular visitor for a long time.
