Here's the taste test for any burger. If it's tasty without putting anything on it, then it's worth eating. If you hate it unless you put a bunch of vegetables and condiments on it, then it's defective. You may actually prefer your burger with all that stuff on it, and that's fine. I'm just describing the minimal acceptable experience. If you have to (as opposed to want to) hide the burger to make it edible, then it's defective. McDonalds burgers are defective.

Funny thing is, they weren't that way a long time ago. I worked the grill back in the late 1980s when they had the old system of hand-grilling the burgers and assembling the sandwiches right there as the patties were pulled off. A freshly-made plain double cheeseburger, right off the grill, was an incredible thing. It was damned good. I'll be the first to say that the whole Modular Holding Cabinet system they changed to wrecked their products completely. But it also stopped waste, which was a massive downside to that old system. I'm sure over the decade the quality of the products has changed too, but knowing what went into a McDonald's burger back then they never tried to cut corners with substandard materials.

Now they're a disappointment at best. > I worked the grill back in the late 1980s ... And I ate what you cooked in the late 80s. And the late 70s. And the late 60s. Really great. Harumph.
