Grand Mac: bigger patties. 1/3 lb total
Mac Jr: Single bigger patty

so now they stock 3 sizes of patties?
hamburger, quarter pounder, and Grand Mac?

I call bullshit on the Grand Mac. They won't use bigger patties and if they do the size will be negligible. Carl's Jr, 4TW!

HAHAHA Just look at the picture. You see a difference?

Don't hate. CT's fast food options stink man. And they torture us with Carl's Jr./Hardee's commercials on TV, when there's not one within like 3 states of us, hahaha.

I know, and I'm sure things vary by location. By me the BK definitely has the worst burgers. It's like they make too many of them at once and they sit and dry out all day, so they're not worth the money. The McDs and Wendy's in the area are all much better in this regard.

the Mac Jr is reasonably appealing to me if they can price it on the same level as a McRib.

Don't see the point in getting a bigger big mac, and I'd rather get a 4 for 4 at wendys than get the mac jr.

Ah, lifehack time! (having worked in fast food before) Always order something unique on your burger, like heavy mayo, or no cheese, or whatever - then they'll be forced to make a new burger. Same with pizza or anything else (anything they can't yank out, like if you order no tomato, they can easily slip a tomato off a heat lamp burger). Dumb, but it works!

Really? It was good? None of this shit is good unless your are high or drunk.


The BK here in town is a really well managed place so the burgers are really good. Never used to be like that, but they cleaned up their act. So yeah, "really."

I'm thinking it's going to be the same patties but they might flatten them out a tad more so that they are a bit bigger in terms of circumference. The buns themselves will be a bit bigger, and the increased surface area will mean a bit more toppings. So overall it will be a bigger burger but same amount of meat. At least from a business perspective that would make sense. Still need to stock the bigger buns but not bigger patties too, and the patties are probably the most expensive part.
