Chef Mike Harcz is well known on TikTok, regularly posting videos providing tips for McDonald\u2019s guests. A lot of his content surrounds finding dupes for some of the classic items sold at the chain, with one of the most viral being a Walmart copycat for the store\u2019s breakfast sausage. As well as this, Mike also provides fans with insider info about the chain, giving tips and secrets that most people don\u2019t know about. In his September video, Mike gave customers the top three hacks they can employ to get better food when they order at McDonald\u2019s. \u201cNumber one,\u201d he began, \u201cask for grill seasoning on your Egg McMuffin. Yes, the round eggs that are used on the McMuffin are not seasoned. Ask for the grill seasoning,\u201d which he said is what is used on the hamburgers. \u201cA little shot on that on your breakfast sandwich makes it that much more tasty,\u201d he revealed. \u201cNumber two, because the buns always seem to be dry and not great on your burger, ask for a steamed bun. The steamed bun comes with a Filet-O-Fish sandwich but you can actually request that as your bun, whether it\u2019s the Quarter Pounder or a regular cheeseburger, steaming makes for a much better burger eating experience.\u201d \u201cThe number one thing you can do,\u201d he said, revealing the tip that took the top spot, \u201cis to literally ask for anything, a fresh batch of whatever. If you are willing to wait\u2026 just ask and be willing to wait.\u201d Commenters were on board with Mike\u2019s tips, writing: \u201cI\u2019ve been asking for quarter pounders on a steamed fish bun for years\u2026 sometimes I ask for the minced onions instead of the other onions,\u201d one revealed. \u201cBefore they got rid of counters in a lot of them and made them kiosks I always said \u2018I\u2019ll wait for fresh fries\u2019\u201d another said. One even had a tip to share themselves, writing: \u201cOrder a McChicken with two patties on it. It\u2019s been made fresh every time.\u201d Another gave a warning to customers, emphasizing: \u201cBe POLITE when asking for special requests. Don\u2019t be rude or demanding \u2013 come out swinging with your words and start the interaction on a negative step.\u201d As well as utilizing these tips on your next visit, you can also pick up a brand new Boo Bucket, as McDonald\u2019s have revealed their new fall lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former McDonald\u2019s chef reveals top 3 hacks to \u201cget better food\u201d Instagram: meme.twainA former McDonald\u2019s chef went viral after revealing the top three hacks he ensures will get you tastier food the next time you visit the chain.
