Haracz is not just any former employee; he’s a guru when it comes to McDonald’s menu. Given his background, people are naturally curious about his recommendations and warnings regarding the McDonald’s menu.
One of his latest revelations might surprise many. When it comes to breakfast at McDonald’s, Haracz suggests you might want to skip the iconic bagel breakfast sandwich in its standard form. He advises swapping out the standard folded egg for a round or scrambled egg instead.
“I feel like the folded egg used on their breakfast sandwiches tends to be dry and lack flavor,” Haracz explained. He also mentioned that the new bun doesn’t quite hit the mark either, recommending that you ask for it to be steamed to enhance the burger experience.
However, Haracz makes it clear that his advice is purely based on personal taste preferences and not food safety concerns. So, if you’re all about following your own palate, there’s no need to worry about any menu item in terms of safety.
Now, if you’re wondering what Haracz considers a stellar choice at McDonald’s, he highly recommends the quarter pounder with cheese. But there’s a catch! According to him, you should eat it within minutes of it being served. “The US has switched to cooking fresh beef to order for quarter pounders,” he said. “If you wait too long to eat it, all of the quality improvements are lost and it tastes the way that it used to.”
Given Haracz’s extensive background in conducting sensory and quality testing on McDonald’s products, his advice might be worth considering next time you’re craving a quick bite. After all, who better to trust than someone who has helped shape the menu?
So, next time you’re at McDonald’s, remember these tips from Mike Haracz. Whether it’s customizing your breakfast sandwich or timing your quarter pounder indulgence just right, a little insider knowledge can make your fast food experience even better.
