McDonald’s is bringing back the popular Double Big Mac four years after it was discontinued in the United States. The takeaway giant describes the delicacy as “double the fun”: a Big Mac burger with four 100% all-beef patties and more sauce. McDonald’s recently announced plans to make changes to its classic hamburger, cheeseburger, double cheeseburger, McDouble burger, and Big Mac sandwiches.
The limited-time McDonald’s delicacy will be available in all restaurants across the United States starting January 24th. It contains more meat and sauce, making it ideal for meat lovers.
Double Big Macs were previously available for a brief time in March 2020. However, the company was forced to discontinue them due to the reduced workforce and operating hours caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2017 and 2018, McDonald’s sold various versions of the Big Mac, including the Grand Mac and the Mac Jr.
Pickles, lettuce, onions, and American cheese are also added to the fast food chain’s signature sesame seed bun. Another notable difference in Double Big Macs will be softer buns and improved grill sears, resulting in a richer palate with melted cheese.
Ahead of the Double Big Mac comeback announcement, McDonald’s CEO, Chris Kempczinski, told CNN that the company is “working on” providing larger burgers to customers.
Although the special and loaded menu is more expensive, Chris told the outlet that the company will make every effort to provide it at a lower cost.
“We think we’re going to be able to deliver a great-tasting large burger at a superior value to what [customers] can get anywhere else,” Chris said.
