A big yawn from me. But how is this their biggest burger when they have a double quarter pounder? Am I missing something?

I think this is a misstep for them.

Isn't a double quarter pounder two 1/8lb patties?

haha we can't all be rocket scientists patrick. Anyways I wish fast food places would do something useful with their money or products instead of just endlessly copying each other so the menus all wind up being basically the same.

i just read that article. how is this thing selling so well in california? i thought the trend was for fast food places to get healthier. i forgot the name of that documentary in which the guy eat McDonalds every meal for a month, but anyways, im really really surprised McDonalds chose to go this route. With that said, I can't wait to try one! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I don't see the point of using an allegedly better quality of meat when you are still frying it on the same crappy grill and throwing it in the same warming bins as McDonald's does.

At least Burger King has the flame broiled thing going for it.

Come to Argentina... better meat makes a world of difference. You have no idea how much better McDonald's is here.
