Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese: The Quarter Pounder's even beefier brother. McDouble: A budget-friendly option with two patties and a slice of cheese. McChicken: While technically not a burger, we included it for comparison purposes. Filet-O-Fish: Another non-burger, but a McDonald's classic nonetheless.

The Taste Test: Triumph and Tribulation
First Bites: The Familiar Favorites
We started with the classics, the burgers we'd all tried countless times before. The Big Mac , with its special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun, was a familiar comfort. It's a messy burger, but the combination of flavors is undeniably satisfying.

Unexpected Twists: The Surprises and Disappointments
Some burgers surprised us, both positively and negatively. The Filet-O-Fish , while not a burger in the traditional sense, was surprisingly enjoyable. The fish was flaky and the tartar sauce added a creamy tang. However, the bun was a bit soggy. The McChicken was also a decent option, with a crispy breaded chicken patty and mayonnaise. On the other hand, the Hamburger was a disappointment. It was bland and uninspired, lacking any real flavor. It felt like a missed opportunity.
The Quarter Pounder Deluxe was okay, but not amazing. The added vegetables felt like a nice attempt to add freshness, but ultimately did not have a significant improvement on the overall flavor of the burger. So far, We Tried Every McDonald's Burger and This One SHOCKED Us! has been a real mix bag.
