Hello everyone, this is running on empty
Food review. Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching
This is running on empty food review and I am your host to the report of the week
Well number one. I hope you're hanging in there. I hope you're doing ok through these
These very strange times, but I hope you're hanging in there
Despite everything that's going on McDonald's has somehow managed to
amaze
They did something with this item that I never thought was even possible and you know
I've done a lot of these reviews. I've seen a lot of items. I've tried out a lot of different
items
Products and concoctions and things right?
Things that I'm not even sure our food, right?
I have tried a lot of stuff and sometimes you get these items that are very predictable
It's like oh, yeah, you know I saw that they worried they were gonna do this, right?
it makes sense and other times they throw a curveball at you and
It's like, you know, I didn't see this coming. I just did not expect it. I just a pure genius behind it
the ingenuity the creativity
the inventiveness and
You realize how much thought how much hard work?
How much effort goes into this idea and you're kind of blown away and you're kind of just left at least for a little while
I almost in a state of shock to just take it all in
I think it's the best way to put it and this is one of those items
100% there is no denying that
They they never cease to amaze
The concept itself even took me a while to understand so lets us take it slow and you know
Let's go by a little by little
They've had the Big Mac for a while
Such an iconic sandwich. It really is. It's probably their their most well known sandwich, you know on the entire menu the Big Mac
Who would have thought
To take a sandwich that has lettuce onions pickles
American cheese
mac sauce
And add
two extra patties
That's right. They took the Big Mac and
They added two more patties to it
I'm just giving you a couple seconds to
digest that you know in the in the
metaphorical sense for now
But that's what it is. It's a Big Mac with a couple extra beef patties on it now to tell you the truth
Yes, I have been kind of messing around. But yeah, I actually am looking forward to this item
The Big Mac has been one of my favorite items from McDonald's really has been it's it's it's such a such a stable item
That's what I'm trying to say. I don't know. It's just that stability
It's like, you know what you're gonna get and it's just there for you. I don't know. It's a stable
That's the best way to put it my only complaint with it has always been that you know
sometimes like the buns will just be a little too much and
just the the
Everything else to beef radio is a little small
So it's good that they're adding you could get at least the option to have four patties instead of two is fantastic
And it's a welcome change welcome addition that I own completely support back in 2016
They were trying out something called the Grand Mac where it didn't really work out the best
I just kind of made everything bigger
But this I think keeps everything the same size but it adds just a little extra beef which I hopefully it'll play out good
It's something to tell you the truth that I've wanted for a while and they finally pulled through and that's what they got
Alright now one other thing that I want to get to before we we get on with the review and that's literally all that it
Is you can see I spilled some water on my little note sheet, but it's called a double Big Mac
That's exactly what it is
The name gives it all the way but it does have lettuce a secret sauce
onions pickles American cheese four beef patties
I got this as a meal deal eight dollars and sixty cents is the price but I guess it makes sense
You're getting four four beef patties, you know instead of two
So I understand why they they've raised the price a little bit. All right
Now one other thing that I just want to mention and I think it's something that I've been doing considering the situation
Oh you may notice maybe you didn't but there's no packaging. It's not in its bag. It's not in its box
It's a straight on the plate
No, see when you're going out when you're getting
Fast-food be that delivered which I know a lot of you are or if you're still going there
You're either from maybe just getting a takeout to go drive-through, whatever whatever that might be doing
Obviously, you know that there are always risks, you know in in eating that uh that food, right?
That's a risk that obviously making the decision to get it's a risk you're willing to take
but one thing that I've always been doing just to try to lower the risk of any sort of exposure just in case
Is to just to remove everything of its packaging
ASAP I mean as soon as possible
I've just been getting rid of the bag getting rid of the box putting it in my own plate
Whatever it is
It's just a way of just taking another little bit of an extra step to
Just try to make sure everything is in in good shape, but this is something that I've been doing
So if I do any more reviews like this going forward you may just see it instead of in its usual packaging
I just want a plate or something, but that's my own
It's my own decision and it's up to you if you want to do that or not, but it is what I've been doing
so anyway
Got our burger here
And you can see throw a little bit of a close-up of you four patties four beef patties
You can see some of the cheese right there some of the other stuff
some of the lettuce
let's
Turn it around. Last thing I ever want to do is drop it
you can see some of the secret sauce some of the onions they're so well, I mean everything everything is there and
That's it. We have a complete
Complete sandwich best way to put it. Let's do this for the big big reveal
It's something like that how about it we're being
We're just going out there today. All right, and with that, you know, what's in it. I know what's in it
We all know what's in it. It is the double Big Mac from McDonald's going in
We'll take a couple more bites
One more bite
Hmm
Mm-hmm. There we go
And some of you may be
watching me struggling with the
There we go. You may be wondering what these things are. These are what they call
french fries
Well to be very straightforward, I like it yeah, right I really do
I mean, I I like the Big Mac to begin with number one again. I mean with no exaggeration
It's probably one of my favorite items on the menu
And I've always liked the Big Mac
I just like the way that you know, you have the beef patties which just have that a little bit of the you know
They still have that juiciness. You can still just taste the meaty flavor
They still have that a little bit of that seasoning of the salt and pepper
I just like the way that it blends in with a little bit of the
Shredded lettuce there just the buns. My favorite thing. Of course is just that little bit of the Tang that the
Secret sauce, which is what's in area 51 by the way, we all forgot about that
but that's what's in there the secret sauce, but
Just a way the secret sauce that Tang that it has and the pickles too
You get that little bit of that sharpness from the onions. I don't know
It just blends together so nicely every time it's just a good reliable sandwich that you can count on sure
It's not something that you know, you would see Gordon Ramsay making or anything. It's a simple sandwich
It's a simple fast food sandwich. Is it good and
It's just as good here
the only thing that's different of course is that you just get extra beef and that flavor of
the beef patties is just far more pronounced and
To tell you the truth
Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for in a Big Mac because again my one principal complained about it
But sometimes I wouldn't be able to taste the beef enough
Sometimes the patties would just seem like they're getting smaller and smaller or you know, maybe the buns would just be too big or something
And that was my biggest concern
So the fact that now there's extra beef I can taste it even more
And yeah, it's a great sandwich. It's simple if you enjoy the Big Macs you're gonna like this
I think that's just what it comes down to it's very basic. It's very straightforward. It's very to the point, but I like it
I am a big fan of this and I mean you better believe yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna get it again
It's probably one of my favorite items on the menu to tell you the truth fix again. It's so simple
It's taking something that I like and it's just making that adjustment
Giving it more of a good thing in my opinion. So yes the double Big Mac. I'm a big fan of it
I think it's the right the right move on them to allow for that upgrade
of course don't feel like this is the only thing that ever exists now and you are forced to get the double Big Mac or
Else. No, you just want to get a regular Big Mac then get a regular Big Mac
But if you just want to take it up to the next level
That you can do now, so I'm a big fan of it. I enjoy it
I think it tastes good and with that out of 10
Yeah, it's gonna be a high rating. But for what it is
Easily a 9 out of 10. Yeah, I I'm enjoying it. I'm a big fan of it and
Yeah, the American cheese too. Just I don't know right amount of it right amount of everything
I know they just got the especially with the extra beef. I don't know. They just got it
They got it, right so I am a fan that's so that's the best way to put it and with that
That's all that I have for you. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host the report of the week
I shouldn't have done that. I have got to wash my hands after that
But I'm your host the report of the week
I always go for the elbow if you can or cough into this as a bad mistake on my part
But I'm owning up to it
be mindful of where you cough and
With that just be sanitary be hygienic. I just take care of yourself
These are difficult times, but we're gonna get through it and I'll still be here with you
Some more videos some more reviews of some sort in the near future and just just stay safe
Stay strong these again are very strange times, but we're gonna get through it
We all will thank you for watching and I hope you just stay safe
But if you want to go out and get this sandwich again
I I think that it's a really good one and I think you'll be impressed by it. It's simple, but it's good
I'm your host the report of the week. Thank you for watching and do take care
I'll see you again in a couple days with another video. Try it out the double Big Mac thumbs up
