Why aren’t these limited-time-only burgers at McDonald’s ever a Big Mac? Why are they always Quarter Pounders? A Big Mac with some kind of different sauce in it? I’d try it!
Alas, here’s another Quarter Pounder, though I quite enjoyed this one, so I guess I shouldn’t complain.
The Creamy Parmesan & Bacon Quarter Pounder: “A quarter pound of 100% Canadian beef topped with a creamy parmesan and black pepper sauce, hickory-smoked bacon, crispy onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard and 2 slices of processed cheddar cheese served on a toasted sesame seed bun.”
I’ll admit that I got quite lucky with this one; a burger that’s hot, fresh, and well-assembled at a fast food joint is far from a sure thing, but that’s what I ended up with. A burger at McDonald’s can be juicy, apparently! Who knew?
The main thing that makes this stand out is the creamy parmesan and black pepper sauce, which is actually pretty tasty. It’s quite ranch-esque, but it does have a bit of a parmesan flavour (pepper, on the other hand, I didn’t particularly notice). Put this on a Big Mac, please.
Otherwise, crispy onions and bacon are always welcome on a burger, and everything else is standard Quarter Pounder stuff. It’s a solid fast food hamburger.
