McDonalds' own Executive Chef, Dan Coudreaut, posted a YouTube video that not only divulges the ingredients in the Big Mac sauce, but also walks the viewer through preparation of a home-made Big Mac. :P

Sauce ingredients:

  • Mayonnaise
  • Sweet Pickle Relish
  • Yellow Mustard
  • Vinegar (white)
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Paprika

Give it some time. If they decided to go public with how they make it, it wouldn't surprise me to have them start shilling them in their stores.

Executive Chef...if that isn't the ultimate example of a BS euphemism, I don't know what is. Call him what he is--head burger-flipper.

I think so too. It's the only reason I can think of why McDonads hasn't hit the grocery stores yet. Microwavable McDonalds cheeseburgers would be magic. Certainly better than the little white castle ones.

They could make it that it's the ONLY place to get it pre made. I'm not a fan of their food, but I think that an item like that would sell very well.

The ONLY way to eat them is fresh from the restaurant, hot off their grill. Avoid the frozen ones, if possible.

Never too big a fan of Subway; I always preferred Blimpie or Quizno's. More expensive, but they tasted better to me.

If you dont have a white castle in your area you might have a krystals and they are the same thing
