Harry is so right about the Double Cheeseburger, That burger is God Tier for me. Once every few months I just go into a McD, order 4 double cheeseburgers, say no when they ask if I want fries with that, and just feel in heaven. Later in the evening, when I am actually processing them, I might think: "never again". But then, a few months later.... There is just something about it: the ratio of bread, meat, cheese, ketchup and pickles... it is just perfection.

I know exactly what you all mean but I think with price hikes over the passage of time this is no longer a thing. Back when they cost 1.29 this made sense as you could get 3 or 4 of them for around £5 Now they cost £2.29 if I want 4 of them its costing closer to £10. Not a significant amount of money for eating out, but it makes a difference and there are some much better options.

Harry is right on the Double Cheeseburger - its just the absolute perfect ratio of everything

36:00 "It's a Malteser. But what is malt?" Malt is the product of roasting malted barley (malting is encouraging cereal grains to sprout through humidity and temperature control; this causes the starches to convert into complex sugars which imparts a slightly caramelized taste), then soaking in hot water to make a malt liqour, then reducing this. It is added instead of water to make biscuit dough, along with baking powder to introduce CO2 bubbles to the dough as it bakes.

Couldn't agree more; If a McDonald's double cheeseburger has been freshly made, cheese properly melted, then it is the best burger on their menu.

@somslovensky959

I work at McDonald's and in the past 2-3 months we have rolled in new procedures which means theoretically you should always get a fresh hot burger with melted cheese (more specifically the burgers with the small 10:1 patties). Although your mileage may vary, my store and franchise I work for are absolute control freaks over every procedure, meaning everything is done by the book with no exceptions - as it should be. With these new procedures, it's incredibly difficult to resist a double cheeseburger at the end of every shift as it is genuinely such a huge improvement and it's always hot and fresh. The best item on the menu.

Disagree with the cheesy bacon flatbread but the trick is you have to eat it straight away. If it's left for anything more than 5 minutes (like it would for this vid) it degrades in quality pretty quickly. A fresh one has molten cheese and really soft bread, but leave it too long as you've soon got plastic cheese and stale bread

I've watched Joe and Harry eat Mcdonald's like 5 times at this point and it just doesn't get old. They are so dope.

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige. One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!". Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs. I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

I think these tier-lists aren't exactly the way to go but when I started to see them on Reddit maybe a year ago I was very confused but I guess they are the zeitgeist now. I'm a little surprised Joe is fond of the breakfast burrito, but it does have that one-handed driving a car advantage like the hash brown!

Gotta add honey or jam to the biscuits!

Mmm double quarter pounder, my favorite (ps if you’re getting the double cheeseburger, you may as well get the double quarter pounder). Best breakfast sandwich is the steak,egg and cheese bagel (jmo)

In Idaho, we have the hot mustard sauce. It is absolutely amazing!

Double Cheeseburger is spot on, pretty much all I ate my freshman year of college, I’m back to the classics now with the Big Mac, the fact that Joe put the fries at B-Tier and not at S-Tier is shocking (they have to be hot out of the fryer though) and the breakfast burrito is a travesty to humanity, Sonic breakfast burrito blows it out of the water

I think I'd have to say that Big Tasty is on the menu often enough in the UK it should have been included. My favourate McDonalds burger by far. And I'm so happy you put Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin in S tier :)

UKs Maltesers and US Whoppers are vastly different malted milk balls…Whoppers are like plastic/waxy chocolate around a ball of sugary sand…Maltesers are to die for by comparison!! I’d happily try a Maltesers McFlurry ANY day!! 🤔👍

McDonald’s fries and coke are the only reason i go there. S tier

Joes enthusiasm is fantastic. Harry.....well I am worried for any menu with bacon. I don't understand why he hates our bacon. I've had both and English bacon is fantastic.

Feel like this is how food wars should have always been done, great new series. Also like that they are done so that both of them know how the other is ranking the items

8:41 not here in Canada. We get a full slice of cheese for our filet and double filet o' fish

Just when you thought you couldn't geekerfy it anymore. Turns out yes you can!!!😂

In the UK on the McChicken sandwich they use a mayo called sandwich sauce and on the mayo chicken they use a mayo called cool mayo which tastes cheap and pretty sour, they should use the same sandwich sauce on both!

S-Rank comes from testing in the UK in the 60s. A tier students were evaluated by this more stringent standard for special scholarship awards. The Japanese also adopted an S-Rank in schooling to further differentiate "A" students (as in their system anything below a C was a failing grade). S Ranking transitioned to the USA from Japan through video games and other cultural exchange. Some people say it stands for Special or Superior, but I've never found anyone agreeing.

I agree with pretty much all your rankings for the U.S. items. I'd move a few things around but my tier list would be mostly the same. The UK stuff, that we don't here, looks interesting. I'd love to try some of their dessert items.

The rationale for the half slice of cheese is flavour ratio. McDonald's claim that a full slice would overpower the burger
