Premium just means they added more of that slop on top so you really can't tell that it's barely edible cardboard, shaped as a patty. The whole grilling process helps mask this, through the Maillard reaction.
 
I actually can't stand their Quarter Pounder patties, simply because they lack any flavor compared to their regular hamburger patties. If it meant raising prices up a dollar for them to taste better I'd buy it. Otherwise they're literally the ripoff option to avoid. Even when they had angus patties, those were better.
 
I went over to McDonald’s last week to snag some breakfast but I was retarded and forgot that the location I was going to ends their breakfast menu at 10:30. After mulling over what I’d get I decided to try something different from my usual McNugget meal, in this case I decided to get a Bacon McDouble without pickles and onions.

I actually liked it and I‘d order it again, but I‘d probably order a second sandwich or get the Bacon Quarter Pounder due to one not being very filling. I’d also ask for extra ketchup/mustard and get some BBQ sauce or try that spicy pepper sauce they put on their spicy chicken sandwiches.
 
I'm trying to find a real copycat recipe for McDonald's tangy honey mustard. Everyone online just says "mix honey and mustard", no shit Sherlock, but that just makes normal honey mustard.
McDonald's honey mustard tastes nothing like real honey mustard because it's literally more soybean oil and sugar than anything else. And it is crack to me.

I think my best bet is to literally add Dijon mustard and honey to soybean oil, maybe even adding some simple syrup.

Can you not steal them? Assuming they come in those little plastic dipping boxes and not a dispenser. I would be loading every possible orifice with the stuff.

(sadly in bongland we don’t get any)

Get the double patty quarter-pounder. I visited last week as part of a budgeting exercise and ended up with a burger, fries and drink for like $12. It also almost tasted like an actual grilled burger & I didn't feel hungry until the next morning.

The soybean oil and egg yolks are the secret. You know what has both of those in it already?

Mayonnaise. Use a base of one part yellow mustard, one part dijon or spicy brown mustard, one part mayonnaise, and honey to taste. Add about a teaspoon of Colman's mustard powder per cup of sauce, and thin it out with a bit of diluted apple cider vinegar, and it will be pretty damn close.

Good luck buying xanthan gum.

You can find Xanthan Gum at most well-stocked US supermarkets these days. Bob's Red Mill brand I've seen at Kroger and bigger Publix locations. And you can always find it on Amazon:

Is McDicks ever going to change their marketing slogan? I think they have had it since 2003, so there are adults now that have never known anything else.

That's actually really helpful information. I still can't imagine actually deliberately buying xanthan gum for any reason.

IIRC correctly xanthan gum is used to make items like sauces and dressings more viscous. It's also really common in gluten-free baking because it gives baked goods the same stickiness you'd get from gluten.

Mayonnaise.

As mayo is considered lowbrow by americans, I legit keep seeing recipees do their best to avoid it. Or, like, pretend that mixing egg, sour and oil results in anything else.
I saw a foodie fucker here do that recently, wanted to choke her over the internet. "Isn't this in poor taste, why would a good blogger use it?" - well, why do not you go die.
 
Anyone live in Louisville? Apparently they're doing a test run where they're selling Krispy Kreme donuts in-store.

Can't say much for what this means, but Krispy Kreme donuts are better than that awful "pull-apart doughnut" they were carrying.

It's sort of like recipes that call for processed tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, salt and garlic powder, pepper, etc. and it's like bitch, there's a name for that, it's called ketchup. You can actually make your own. But there's literally nothing wrong with just actually using ketchup from a bottle. Mayonnaise I think is a little different because if you actually do make it yourself, it's a lot better.

Ketchup you make to a vanilla recipe is basically what you'd get from a store so there's no real reason to do it unless you want it to have some special quality. And why would you usually?

I think it's because mayonnaise is associated with all sorts of recipes of varying degrees of horror (like Jack Scalfani's hideous "bean salad" that is basically canned pork and beans mixed with mayonnaise and that's it). And ketchup with hamburgers.
