McDonald's Big Arch: a closer look at the new double burger
1000 kilocalories. That's what McDonald's new Big Arch packs, a double burger meant to compete with the style of chains like Five Guys or In-N-Out. But does it succeed? An in-depth review based on a real taste test reveals highs and lows.
Proportions and compactness: the weak point
The Big Arch gives up one of McDonald's trademarks: compactness. While the Quarter Pounder or the Big Mac offer a perfect bite with golden proportions, the Big Arch goes for size and volume but loses out on balance. Those who complained that McDonald's burgers were too small will get their fix here, but purists of the classic format will miss that harmony.
Sauce: a new tangy profile
The Big Arch sauce is reminiscent of the Big Mac's, but with a tangier kick. It's not a unanimous hit: some prefer the original sauce or the McExtreme Bacon one, considered by some to be the chain's best recent sauce. The overall flavor is good, but not revolutionary.
Calories and context
At 1000 kcal, the Big Arch is a calorie bomb. A figure that doesn't go unnoticed, especially when compared to other menu options. It's also striking that McDonald's took 10 years to launch a burger of this style, after the trend of "big" burgers was popularized by chains like Five Guys.
The Big Arch is an interesting option for those looking for something more substantial, but it doesn't quite win over fans of the classics. Will it earn a permanent spot on the menu or turn out to be a fleeting product? The debate remains open.
