The McDonald's hamburger was specifically crafted for the picky child in your family. It is, without a doubt, the least exciting thing on the menu: A dry, nearly tasteless patty
It was there for me in high school, when I'd gorge on a McChicken and a McDouble and spend what used to be a total of $2
It is basically the hamburger with a magical slice of American cheese that improves the flavor tenfold.
Without the pepper sauce to carry it like its spicy counterpart, the Crispy Chicken Sandwich (and its not-so-crispy chicken filet) feels underwhelming.
The mayo brings in a dimension of tangy flavor and creaminess while the tomatoes give the sandwich some much needed sweetness.
The lettuce and tomato overpower the rest of the sandwich when really, the chicken and sauce (!!!) should have the spotlight.
The McDouble is more filling, more meaty, and saucier than the cheeseburger.
A double cheeseburger has two slices of cheese, whereas the McDouble only has one.
The strips of bacon are thin and devoid of moisture, making them like salty meat shards.
I'm a sucker for anything spicy, which is why this iteration scores major points despite the fact that its so-called crispy filet leaves much to be desired in the crisp department.
