<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nLet me start off by saying that the new McDonald’s Angus Third Pounders are the best burgers ever released by The Golden Arches. Of course, that’s not really saying much since most of their burgers suck. It’s sort of like saying Kim Kardashian is the most famous Kardashian but only because the others didn’t come out with a sex tape. <\/p>\n
I know I’ve said in the past that I love McDonald’s Double Cheeseburgers, but I only love them because it’s a little more than a dollar and I can use the grease from them to keep my chest hair from popping out of my collar. And I know I’ve said that I enjoy their Big Macs, but only because of my affinity towards that middle bun. <\/p>\n
I know what it’s like to be a third wheel, Middle Bun.<\/p>\n
I may really enjoy these new burgers, but it brings up one question in my head.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0We’ve been eating crappy McDonald’s burgers for years and all this time they had the ability to make a really good burger, so what the fuck have they been doing for the past decade? Have they been eating McDonald’s food, getting sleepy soon after, taking a nap and then not getting any work done, like the rest of us do? <\/p>\n
The Angus Third Pounders come in three varieties:<\/p>\n
Deluxe<\/b> – a burger with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles and mayonnaise.<\/p>\n
Bacon & Cheese<\/b> – a burger with cheese, bacon, red onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard.<\/p>\n
Mushroom & Swiss<\/b> – a burger with sauteed mushroom, mayonnaise and swiss cheese.<\/p>\n
Which flavor you should try depends on what your taste buds yearn for and\/or the amount of sodium your circulatory system can take, since each burger has between 1100-2070 milligrams of sodium. <\/p>\n
All of the Angus Third Pounders are flavor packed. The Deluxe had a classic burger taste and I would totally do behind a shed. I could taste the Angus beef, cheese, pickles and mayonnaise (only because they put a huge glob of it on the burger), but I felt the red onions didn’t add much flavor. The Bacon & Cheese contained big slices of slightly crispy bacon that ensured I had some in every bite, although it’s taste wasn’t as prominent as I hoped it would be. Again, the red onions didn’t really provide much flavor, but the burger didn’t really need it and I would totally do it hard in the back seat of a car. The Mushroom & Swiss was probably my favorite among the three and I would do it the hardest in a janitor’s closet. The sauteed mushrooms were tasty, well sized and plentiful, but they didn’t overwhelm the sandwich, letting the flavor of the meat stand out.<\/p>\n
The patties in the Angus Third Pounders are much tastier, less greasy and noticeably thicker than regular McDonald’s burger patties. The texture of the meat was different too, but in a good way. All of the burgers themselves were significantly larger than most other items on the menu. I hope McDonald’s keeps them that size and they don’t end up like the Big & Tasty, which started big, but now is much smaller.<\/p>\n
Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of the McDonald’s Angus Third Pounders. Some might complain about the $4 price tag for each burger, but the other big burgers on the McDonald’s menu are only about 50-75 cents cheaper and they’re also 50-75 percent shittier. So I think the Angus Third Pounders are worth the extra scratch.<\/p>\n
