McDonalds Carolina Mustard BBQ Quarter Pounder was a waste of an excellent sauce E205

McDonald's brilliantly added Carolina Mustard BBQ sauce to the quarter pounder ... so why does it feel like such a let down?

Grimace and onion straws rock!

[@ThatsRank]

Yes to both! I love the onion straws on chili. Just not when Tim Hortons does it.

[@arreh]

I love that sauce so much, it would be an insanely good nugget sauce

PREACH

[@Nonyah123]

Had no idea it was such a rare sauce! I want to make it at home. They should've gone ham on the onions though...

[@ThatsRank]

Mustard sauce is a pretty easy do it yourselfer; and if I HAD to guess what McDonalds did, I’d bet they just mixed their BBQ with mustard. If not, just grab one that tickles your fancy from a recipe site. I use it on ham as a glaze sometimes.

k this was the best burger ive ever had from mcdanks no cap

[@FlukeyFood]

McDonald's' obsession with consistency leads to the double-edged sword of reliability/comfort food contrasted with a lack of wow factor. It's tough to expect a mainstream chain to be too risky with flavour. I don't really get why they're so conservative though, since they don't have to change their classics. Why not blow people's minds sometime!

[@ThatsRank]

I feel like they’re just the most risk adverse chain as a whole. People know what they’re going to get. Their chicken McMuffin BLT a prime example; it’s literally the same thing they already serve with some lettuce and tomato on top. INNOVATION BAYBEE!
I don’t MIND them for what they are, but like you, I wish they’d grow a McPair once in awhile.

Have you ever had a Big Mac considering the sauce

[@ThatsRank]

Indeed. Without the sauce. So it’s just an expensive double burger.
I also inadvertently had one with sauce last December. There’s a video of me throwing up on TH-cam somewhere. (Well, directors cut, nothing sinister seen)

[@siobhangrapes2942]

I’m
Not sure I’ve ever eaten a quarter pounder.

[@ThatsRank]

Wait what?

[@JFRJesse]

Onion strings are not cool!

[@ThatsRank]

Ehhhh they’re there. I can take them or leave them. I prefer fresh onions though.

[@grahammcfadyenhill9555]

To be perfectly honest, it looks like a thrown-together mess, like most of the stuff from McDonald's. Absolutely no pride in their product.

[@ThatsRank]

They’re pretty good on the flavor end (a ton of lab work does that), but yeah - the delivery itself more often leaves a lot to be desired. I guess that’s why it’s “fast” food - get it out the door.

[@theautographfishermanjonbu325]

I'm not a big mustard fan so I'll pass

[@ThatsRank]

I’d judge, but I don’t eat mayo, so you’re good.

[@siobhangrapes2942]

Those onions are pathetic
