Ex-McDonald’s chef shares 3 clever menu hacks to ‘get better food’ every time
Sometimes, you go to McDonald’s and the food just doesn’t hit the spot. The fries are cold, the Big Mac doesn’t have enough sauce or the McNuggets aren’t crispy enough.
It’s really disappointing, but Mike Haracz, who used to be a corporate chef at McDonald’s, has shared three clever menu hacks that will get you better food every time.
3 McDonald’s hacks to ‘get better food’
“These three are little-known little hacks that you can use to get better food at McDonald’s,” he said on TikTok.
3. Ask for grill seasoning on your Egg McMuffin
His third hack is to ask for grill seasoning on your Egg McMuffin, which will add an extra bit of flavor that makes all the difference. The round eggs used in McMuffins aren’t seasoned at all, which is why they often taste quite bland. Grill seasoning is what goes on the hamburgers and it’s just a mixture of salt and pepper. However, a little shot of that on your breakfast sandwich will make it so much tastier.

2. Ask for a steamed bun on your burger
McDonald’s buns are often a bit dry, which ruins the entire burger, so his second hack is to ask for a steamed bun on your McDouble or Quarter Pounder instead of a toasted or seeded one. This is the bun that comes with the famous Filet-O-Fish�and it’s much softer, airier, and more moist, making for a “much better burger-eating experience”.
3. Ask them to make you a fresh one
The ex-McDonald’s chef’s number one tip is to literally just ask the server to make you a fresh batch of whatever you are ordering. Yes, you can do that! As long as you are willing to wait, they will cook you a new batch of McNuggets, fries or a fresh McChicken rather than giving you the one that’s been sitting on the storage rack for half an hour.
Some McDonald’s servers might refuse your requests if they are busy and don’t have the time, but it’s certainly worth a try for better-tasting food.
