For "Big Mac" Junkies

I know there are the high brow foodies in here, but for those that have those moments of sheer weakness and it's 2:00 a.m., here ya go...

I watched this the other day. Special sauce indeed...

So since I've got little kids, I now watch animated movies way more than usual (and go to McD's for that matter). This reminded me of a line in one of them (Kung Fu Panda) where the dad says there is no secret ingredient in his secret ingredient noodle soup. He says "to make something special you just have to believe it's special." Marketing is an amazing thing sometimes.

Why do I have the feeling red food dye is substituted for paprika and anti freeze for mayonnaise in the store recipe?

Don't know.  It's been over a year for me to have anything from that craphole.  Even when I wasn't eating incredibly healthy (not that I don't stray from time to time now) McDonalds was poison to me.  Yuck.

Heck, they've got their own University. Hamburger U was used to teach franchisees of the details of their food prep and administration. I worked there for a year during college. Great experience but all I left with was a love of their fries and for how innovative Crock was to start the place. His insistence on conformity though was infuriating. I suggested to them that they make a drive in at the restaurant like the ones I had seen at liquor stores in Dallas. Yeah, that long ago. The response was, "Cook burgers. We'll do the thinking." Years later they acted like they were marvelous innovators of the idea.

My friend bought an ice shaver and made snow cones for all the neighborhood residents one hot summer. Charged them a $1 apiece. His recipe was simple. Shaved ice and sugar. Sometimes food coloring if he had it. All the residents had their favorite flavors and would request them.

The fries are TOO salty.  I was forced to eat at McD's in Maui in 2004 (I know, tough life).  There is no salt in the Pacific Ocean, it was all in the fries I ate one night.

You got that right. Recently, I have all but lived on Braum's grape sherbet.

Sadly, this is where my mind goes when someone says "Big Mac"
