Trial Meal: The Standard Order

The rushed order: 2x Medium Chips, 2x Cokes, Double Cheeseburger, Big Mac.

The rain came down and the shops were boring and so Jack and I retreated to the crowded paradise that was McDonald's. The air was thick with the musty smell of rain, fat and salt with the tables all full. I went to order a Double Cheeseburger for Jack while he searched for the table. It took a while to get served through the crowds, but eventually a nice blondie took the order and we got our food. 
I asked Jack what he thought about his lovely fatty burger and this is what he thought:
"I rated it 9.75/10 for taste because it was awesome." thanks for the description Jack. So what else did he think? "The quarter was lost because of the Gherkin." He also went on to say that it was delicious, easily his favourite and always left room for the chips and coke. 
My Big Mac was pretty good. I didn't take a photo because I didn't get this idea until later on, but next time I will. I would give the flavour a decent 9/10. Big Mac's are my favourite after all. It's a shame that this won't count for as much, the reason being that we don't really have a comparison to make yet. Still it's good practice.

Hold on to your horses because I will even go into the process of creating the Luscious Double Cheese Burger and the Standard favourite Big Mac including the ingredients and flavours that come through. Yes, why not be a little mental and review fast-food as I would gourmet food. It's not like I can actually afford gourmet stuff to actually rate anyway. 

Introduction

The Concept

Have you ever gazed up at the menu at any chain of fast food place and wondered what to buy as the staff try and call you over at the same time? You remember all those times when you wander mindlessly to the till just to say: "Errrr..." looking up at the menu and then saying the first thing that you see? 
That has always happened to me and so this is an attempt to solve this dire issue of being rushed and never knowing what you want. I HAVE A SOLUTION!
Me and my brother, Jack, will be going to McDonald every fortnight and rating the food by price, taste, presentation, ingredients and (K)calories. We will be sampling a different delight every time and will give all the gory details on our shared experience.
