Is Supermac's specifically a chicken chain, without beef burgers? This article is so confusing if you don't already know all the information in it already.

The article says this: > The Irish company doesn’t sell a sandwich called the Big Mac but does have one called the Mighty Mac with the same ingredients. So it sounds like they do sell beef burgers. Unless the EU is a bizarre place, like the land of Rand McNally, where chicken and beef are considered the same ingredient.

No - they sell burgers. I have actually had one a long time ago. It was comparable to McD's offering.

The Mighty Mac is a burger almost exactly like a Big Mac. Two beef patties with a middle bun level. Compare: https://supermacs.ie/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Supermacs-Mighty-Mac-5.png https://supermacs.ie/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Supermacs-Mi... https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/mcdonalds/Header_BigMac_832x472:product-header-desktop?wid=830&hei=456&dpr=off https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/mcdonalds/Header_BigMac_832...

  Plently of restaurants have double burgers like that. It's not even close to a Big Mac.

    I'm not implying there's anything special about having a double patty burger with a middle bun as something entirely special to only McDonald's. But having a burger like that and calling it "$something-meaning-grand/large Mac" is only a McDonald's thing, since it (at least was) a trademarked term. And really? You don't see very heavy resemblance between these two burgers? The only major difference I'm seeing is McDonad's have pickles and a slightly different sauce.

      Yes, that describes a double cheeseburger which is absolutely generic. What differentiates the Big Mac from other double cheeseburgers and gives it its unique taste is the unique sauce which is, contrary to what you are trying to claim, not just slightly but completely the generic ketchup you can see on the Mighty Mac.

        Most double cheeseburgers do not have a middle bun. Go look at a Double Double at In-n-Out. Does it have a middle bun? Go look at a Double Meat Whataburger. Does it have a middle bun? Go look at a Dave's Double at Wendy's. Does it have a middle bun? Go look at any burger at Culver's. All of them are doubles. Do they have a middle bun? Go look at a SuperSONIC Double Cheeseburger. Does it have a middle bun? Go look at a Double Famous Star at Carl's Jr. Does it have a middle bun? Go look at a Double Cheeseburger at McDonald's. Does it have a middle bun? The middle bun is a massive differentiator for a Big Mac versus a double cheeseburger. How many restaurants have a double burger with a middle bun named "$something Mac"? I can't seem to name any despite you suggesting its incredibly common and generic.
