The BEST McDonald's Order (2024 Update)

[@UltimateGamerCC]

hard not to be nostalgic about McD's, when the prices were low, their Fries were cooked in Beef Tallow and their Pies were Fried.

[@tycrabapple9282]

So 30 years ago? Beef tallow stopped in 95

Lol, remember when a McChicken was about$1.49? Today it's 4.19!!!

I really like this best of series, happy new year man! Discovered your channel this year, been trying to turn as many food junkies like myself onto it.

[@chrimes]

“Supersize Me” was the end of great McDonald’s. They got sensitive to their health perception and stopped frying to the best taste. I feel like now they try to play both sides and never seem to pull off either. 90’s McDonald’s was the best days. Even their logo had swagger. I miss those days going there after school.

[@TekPlayzGames]

@chrimes If that's the case why does McDonald's feel cheaper and more unhealthy than it did a few years back? Maybe it's because I'm older and can notice it better now but when I eat Wendy's it feels like real food and it feels way less unhealthy to eat. Less greasy, less cheap, more real(especially their chicken, beef, and baked potatoes). Then when I eat McDonald's it feels like I just ate the most unhealthy thing on the planet, no other restaurant I've had period feels as unhealthy as McDonald's.

[@davidferrer678]

What’s annoying about the “supersize me” guy Morgan Spurlock was that he was a massive alcoholic and that’s why the Dr compared his health decline to someone who has severe binge alcoholism. Not saying it was healthy to do for 30 days but I’m sure being a massive alcoholic for years was worse than 30 days of McDonald’s. Especially back then when imo it was far less processed

I feel you on that last topic you brought up abt everything being B&W nowadays. It's a result of a decade of conditioning people towards polarization by making it seem like you have to take a side by framing opposing opinions as "an enemy" rather than a point of conversation.

[@ryanglacier30]

They're required to make quarter pounders fresh. I believe quarter pounders are never frozen beef as well but I could be wrong about that part.

Fries at McDonald's used to be cooked in beef tallow, that's what made them great !!

[@OrbObserver]

That stopped in the early 90's my dude, now they have a plant based beef flavor added to the seasoning.

[@fastfoodreviewandelvistoo]

Being a “boomer” I remember going to McDonald’s in the late 60’s and getting the regular hamburger and small fries. Oh they were great and that’s my nostalgic meal. I love those burgers and fries to this day. I love the Big Mac, it’s perfect. I don’t think it needs more meat . The filet ‘0 fish in the 70’s came in a styrofoam container and the bun was actually steamed because the top of the bun was wrinkled and had condensation on it. They say they are steamed buns now umm no they aren’t! I also love the double cheeseburger fresh man that is really fire 🔥 as the kids say! Nice review!

[@rondazug9967]

Ah I love reading comments like this. You’re very lucky to have lived through some of the best era’s. But as far as fast food goes, even 10-12 years ago quality was so much better. I understand inflation and price gauging but the quality going down is so disappointing!

[@fastfoodreviewandelvistoo]

@ thank you! I agree I was very lucky! To be honest McDonald’s doesn’t taste any different today than it did in 1968! Ya the buns aren’t steamed like they were , but McDonald’s has maintained a standard of excellence and that’s why they are so huge in the industry, and I agree with King that the app is a huge money saver in this economy!

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

i agree i think it just tastes the same today as it always did. A lot of people say "it used to taste better!" because they remember being younger when mcdonalds was more of a special treat.

[@Syanic]

Most of the time they are actually steamed but the machine breaks alot so sometimes we just put it in the q-ing oven (microwave)🤫

[@benjaminnguyen554]

Double quarter pounder, the premium McDouble!

[@zachturner3443]

Great video man the king never disappoints 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 happy new years .

[@williamwalsh1533]

My best Micky Ds order is: Quarter Pounder, large fries, strawberry shake, chocolate shake.

[@marlostanfield1087]

With the $5 Meal Deal, you can get the drink in a large and it’ll still be the same price. I’ve confirmed this through the app and through drive-thru.

[@TekPlayzGames]

My preferred Mcdonald's order is a large McChicken combo with an orange fanta. I always have some buffalo ranch or regular buffalo sauce at home that i like to dip the McChicken in, takes that cheap chicken sandwich and makes it so good. The McCrispy has nothing on a McChicken in buffalo sauce.

I recently stopped by a McDonalds in Hackensack, NJ (not gonna say which one, however White Manor wasn't too far away - IYKYK) ordered a med McRib combo meal and a double cheeseburger total came to just under $20!!! Mickey Dee's is buggin' with their new pricing!!!! Cause that cost for that was ridiculous and at that location it's sometimes impossible to cancel and drive out of the drive thru!

[@KevinRivera-rr7mn]

[@mrpelpa]

The prerequisite is mandatory! Always reheat however you can

[@michaelwagner4761]

Couple other hacks to try: -Ask for well done for the patties on a quarter pounder. WAY crispier and juicier meat and meltier cheese. -Add Big Mac sauce to the McChicken = GAME CHANGER.

[@SireStefen]

Pro tip, you can upgrade your drink to a large for free in the meal deal if you click all drinks in the menu

@@FatherAxeKeeper we have 3 different locations in town and they use that excuse a lot. I think it's more they don't want to have to clean the machine, so they just say it's broken and then they don't have to make ice cream.

What temp and time do you set your air fryer at to bring the mcdonalds fries back to life? I've seen some recommend like 400 degrees for a minute, others say 350 degrees for 3 mins.

Man, I used to love McD's. Not because it was the best, but because it was the cheapest and most consistent. Now it's bad food and it's more expensive than a real restaurant. I'll go with friends once in a great while and get a double QP w/ cheese plain (all their toppings are cheeks), fries, 10 pc nugget. Then I'll proceed to drink about a gallon of plain water because I'm dying from sodium.

Glad to see you got the hot mustard. It and the fish are the only edible things on the menu.

Also an fyi for everyone, their ice coffee is $1 in the app too, any size. I drink my coffee black, and can attest to the fact that their coffee is actually fire. Significantly better than Dunkin’ or 7/ 11 ice coffee. It’s hot or iced and any kind of coffee.

[@mariainct8514]

My McD's order was always a double cheeseburger (no onions), a small fry and an iced caramel latte. I haven't gone there in ages though . If I door dash something it would be a sub or some wings from a local mom + pop, not fast food. Happy new year!! 🎉🥂

Loved this video! I’m not really in the comments to know about what you’re talking about, but there really isn’t much room for nuance with people lately. Also, your opinions on Subway AND hot mustard are on point. Quick tip: you can find an imitation hot mustard at Walmart and it’s pretty good. It’s labeled southwestern mustard. Anyways happy new year!🎉

[@williamstaples7205]

Back in 1983 when the nuggets came out i was working at the only other fast food where I lived. McDonald's just was built then. And everyone wanted McDonalds. And the Mc nuggets was what everyone wanted. Sweet and sour was what most of what everyone was using. And French fries (when they were good) and a milkshake. I was the odd ball who liked the hot mustard. And that's definitely my go to today. Your an old soul. Enjoy your videos. 👍

I abused it like any other drug lol, hopefully I can get back on track and enjoy it to it's full potential soon.
