Are you a McDonald’s aficionado who rarely deviates from your go-to order? If so, prepare to have your mind blown. Former McDonald’s corporate chef Mike Haracz has revealed four incredible ‘secret’ menu hacks that can take your McDs experience to the next level.
One of his most intriguing tips involves transforming the classic Filet-O-Fish into something closer to a traditional British fish finger sandwich. Haracz suggests ditching the bun and requesting the fish be served on an English muffin instead. To elevate the experience, he recommends swapping the tartare sauce for the iconic Big Mac sauce. However, there’s a catch – the English muffins are only available during breakfast hours. So, aim to order this secret menu item just as breakfast ends and lunch begins, around 11 am. While it’s not a guarantee that staff will be on board, it’s definitely worth trying your luck, especially if they’re feeling generous!
But that’s not all! Haracz also advises swapping the buns on a Quarter Pounder with cheese for the steamed buns from the Filet-O-Fish, claiming it will make the burger taste ‘beefier.’ Feeling adventurous? Try asking for burger seasoning on your fries – Haracz says it adds a delightful ‘zing.’ And if you’re craving a truly epic BLT, he suggests removing the patties from a Big Mac and loading it up with bacon and tomato.
The internet is buzzing with reactions to Haracz’s tips, with some TikTokers sharing their own experiences with customizing McDonald’s orders. Some have found success with the English muffin hack, while others have encountered resistance from staff. Regardless, it’s clear that the potential for creative customization at McDonald’s is vast. So, the next time you’re craving a McDs fix, don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. You might just discover a new favorite menu item!
