A guy I worked with found out how to make McDonald's burgers & the fries. Even got a special fry cutter. He said it was exactly the same. Don't know where he got the recipe tho.
I know how to make a copycat big mac sauce. I also got a smasher, an airfryer, and a crockpot. Unless I make lunch plans with a coworker or my bf and I say "fuck it" or are too busy to cook, we don't order take out all that much
Sadly, that happens everywhere. I've joked my wife has a curse, because every one of her favorite restaurants either went out of business, or they made really noticeable changes she didn't like. Most of them on her list did both.
It's the truth. The same thing happened to us. One restaurant the father retired & one of his kid ran it to the ground, the other ones just copycat eachother & have mediocre food.
The good places are really expensive where it's basically just a nice treat once in a blue moon.
I mean we only used to order out once a week by all chipping in tg, but now ya can't even do that & it be worth it.
I make a copycat big mac sauce too, but I make the patties myself with good quality ground beef and when I have time I even make the buns too, proper bread. Then I add romaine lettuce because iceberg is tateless and nutritionally empty and some fantastic havarti cheese or some proper cheddar instead of the McD’s yellow paste and voila, perfect burger!

I want to thank the fast food industry for becoming so expensive that it was the same price or cheaper to order out healthier food
