A TikTok foodie who goes by the name of \u2018Chef Mike Haracz\u2019 has revealed plenty of McDonald\u2019s hacks, as he is a former chef of the fast food restaurant. Though he no longer works for McDonald\u2019s, Haracz recently gave his 191.4K followers advice on how to order a Big Mac the right way. Fans have since commented on the now-viral video, explaining their tips and tricks while ordering their own McDonald\u2019s orders. McDonald\u2019s customers share their Big Mac hacks The McDonald\u2019s Big Mac has been around since 1967 when it first made its way into a Uniontown, Pennsylvania menu for $0.45. It\u2019s one of the most well-known sandwiches in fast food history and hasn\u2019t lost its relevance or taste since its debut over fifty years ago. The recipe has even stayed the same \u2014 two 100% all-beef patties, one slice of cheese, pickles, chopped onion, shredded lettuce, Mac sauce, and a sesame seed bun with an extra slice between the two patties. Though the Big Mac has proved to be delectable, former McDonald\u2019s chef Haracz explained to TikTok how to order the more \u201csuperior\u201d Big Mac while visiting the popular chain food eatery. Haracz began his video by saying, \u201cDon\u2019t order a Big Mac, you should be ordering this every time.\u201d He then proceeded to break down how to finesse a cheaper style of the sandwich for about $2 less than what the Big Mac sells for. Haracz then said to order what\u2019s called a \u201cMcDouble like a Mac,\u201d which is exactly like a Big Mac, just easier on the pockets. To order the Big Mac for a fairer price, Haracz showed a video of a McDonald\u2019s chef assembling the \u201cMcDouble like a Mac.\u201d In the video, it showed all of the Big Mac fixings like cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped onion, and Mac sauce with two whole beef patties. The only difference is that the altered burger does not have a middle bun slice. Haracz also urged customers to go to a different McDonald\u2019s if the one they were at wasn\u2019t willing to make the burger to their liking. Customers were quick to take to his comments section to share their own McDonald\u2019s hacks, saying, \u201cGo to the window, use the app code to place an order. It will be saved in the app and you can reorder anytime. Thank me later!!\u201d While another shared their McDonald\u2019s go-to, saying, \u201cI order a McDouble with only Mac sauce. We call it a ghetto Mac. Been doing this for over 15 years.\u201d Another viewer explained their experience with ordering a \u201cMcDouble like a Mac,\u201d saying, \u201cExcept now it costs $0.25 per item to add them to the sandwich \u2014 so it ends up costing the same.\u201d Though Haracz no longer works at McDonald\u2019s, fans can catch up with everything McDonald\u2019s and Big Mac related on Haracz\u2019s TikTok where he shares recipes and hacks to ensure you\u2019re always fulfilling your \u2018I\u2019m lovin\u2019 it\u2019 cravings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former McDonald\u2019s chef explains why you shouldn\u2019t order a Big Mac TikTok: ChefMikeHaraczA former McDonald\u2019s chef explained why the Big Mac might not be the most optimal burger on the menu and gave his recommendation on what to order, instead.
