I went to the RHS exhibition in Malvern a few weeks ago and had a beefy boys burger. That was all kinds of awesome.
Shame they don’t have a physical shop near Manchester. I’ll have to drive to Shrewsbury to get one again.

More so than burger king? Might as well go for a proper meal out with how much they cost when I last went to one.

The best burger king I had in decades was one of those fake meat ones. But they don't seem to do them anymore  (over here at least) Not this one:

There’s an independent near me called Chicken George - wings and burgers etc. It’s miles better than anything kfc do, for quality and quantity. It’s also marginally cheaper. Mad really, when you consider the scale kfc work at |

I popped into one at Finsbury Park last time I was at football. It was £7-8 for basically a zinger burger, wings, popcorn chicken, fries and a drink. Mad. Competition works apparently (and dubious food sources/slave wages etc)

That abomination is hardly a secret menu item though, it’s just buying two things and putting it together yourself.

I suspect the prospect of being taken seriously at my local McDonald's for any of those secret menu items are slim.

There's no way that's real - half the cheese hasn't smeared all over the paper.

Heh, I always look remorsefully at all of the wasted cheese on the wrapper if I'm eating Maccy D's with company.
If I'm on my own that wrapper is going straight in my gob and every last bit of cheese gets scraped off with my teeth.

I live way too close to a McD’s. The Hat Trick - McDonalds Now we’re talking. Just three patties, the right amount of cheese, relish and a decent bun. No gimmicks needed. I’d have it again over a Five Guys. Probably. 9/10 Went for a hat trick tonight and it was DISAPPOINTING. Dry as fuck, the onions because they were fried were just wrong, it all just felt like eating a big slab of dry minced beef. God my local McDonald's sucks. 3/10 |

The only speciality item I ever enjoyed was the Big Tasty, wish they did that over here. In fact, since COVID, the speciality items here are super low effort, like Big Macs but with McChicken patties.
Would happily McPleasure Ronald himself for a Greggs though.

Hat Trick felt like eating a Burger King - that is, better than McDonalds.
I’m not keen on lots of onion though so I took them off. It could possibly have used a bit of lettuce or something and they didn’t put enough sauce or mustard on it. However the patties and bun were better than my usual quarter pounder.
I always think the beef is a better quality in the special edition stuff. I always like the Swiss and Italian stacks when they are out.
No way I am choosing this over 5 Guys though. That is a step above anything else high street IMO, price be damned.
Really fancying a Dominoes this weekend. Absolutely love the Meteor, although I often feel dehydrated and a stroke risk after it, it must be so bad for you.

Been pondering what, if anything, from any fast food place I would put on my menu for the Last Meals Club, and...
...

...
Maybe a Patriot Burger from Brewdog, if I was out of other choices?

It made me laugh how Money Saving Expert’s coupon kid’s “hack” for saving money at McDonald’s was to not buy a Big Mac and instead to stack two cheese burgers. He had a knack for always missing the point in favour of saving what amounted to a few pence worth. |

I find most things on a restaurants "secret menu" aren't on there because they're a bit daft and/or shit.

It’s also the perfect way to make the place hate you.

I already wait forever when ordering off the real menu, I'd hate to think how much longer I'd be waiting after doing the nose tap at a flustered server.

All Chicken Cottage branches have a secret VIP champagne bar if you know the codeword.

If you show your Stonecutters tattoo in Nandos, you gain access to the regular menu and a non-plussed expression, because nobody who works there will be old enough to know what it means.

Is my McD’s a good one? Where the staff go the extra mile?
More likely I was fucking hungry that day and anything I ate got a +5. We’ve all been there.
