Never even heard of this McFeast before. Guess I should try it.
I'm assuming (someone correct me if I'm wrong) it's a McDouble with a McChicken shoved between the patties. I call it a McChicken-Fucker, others call it a McGangbang, or other names depending on where you live.

I wonder what they do with the extra top buns?

Can't speak for McDonald's but burger king has a knock off called the big king. And that middle bun is a whole other thing. Its basically a round slice of bread.

I've had a big Mac with nothing on it(minus meat and cheese) and the bread in the middle is very fluffy and soft due to being between 2 slices of meat.

The Big Mac bun is just a big bun that's cut into three slices instead of two.

Er what. I used to eat the big king all the time as a teen and there was no middle bun. It was actually my favorite sandwich next to the double hamburger

I suppose three meat patties slapped next to one another would likely slide right out of the burger.

The bread is mainly there for stability. Also probably to make the sandwich look bigger.

It was just big king when I worked there. I made plenty of them. This was years ago but I remember the makings for like half the menu and clearly remember the sleeves of middle buns we had on our bun rack.

BK is real bad about changing their menu though. I worked there a year and I saw so many sandwhiches come and go

Could be a regional thing yeah. It's the sauce that really makes it click for me that it was meant to be a big Mac competitor, never thought of it like that before

Ok yeah so it must have been a rebranding, they first straight up copied McDonald's, then realized the middle bun was pointless as hell so promptly removed it.

Well they might be copycats but at least they learn and change unlike mickd's....

Looks bigger tham the old big king too. As in patty size.

Huh don't know. But the irony would be too delicious: I never liked the big Mac, but like the big king. I've never liked the whopper, but like the quarter pounder.

Its funny that the competitor version of the original is my preferred sandwich

Either way BK needs to rebrand as chicken king imo. I like the whopper but they have like at least 4 chicken sandwhiches (unless they got rid of some) and they where all pretty good. Haven't tried their newest one but the original chicken sandwich was always my favourite

You like burger king's chicken more than McDonald's? Mc chicken? They had a spicy mcchicken few years

No clue never ate McDonald's chicken stuff aside from nuggets. Always get a quarter pounder. Im one of those people who always order the same thing. But I worked at BK so I got more adventurous

As far as fast food goes, I actually liked McDonald's chicken options. During my grosser phase teen years I'd order both the chicken nuggets and the chicken sandwich and eat both.

Bk runs that 1.49 deal a lot more often than I thought they would. Loved it when I worked there cause I had a 50% discount. Roughly 80 cents (after tax) for a 10 piece

Not a fan of the big mac, to me the quarter pounder with cheese is 100% better.

I also prefer the burger king whopper to the big mac.


This was the best Whopper and they got rid of it.

They thought there wasn't enough calories on the burger and tried to sneak in more.

Fried jaleponios iirc. They discontinued the sandwich shortly after I started.
