The Big MacGriddle: We Built One, and You Can Too

When McDonald ’s denote it would be servingbreakfast all twenty-four hour period longlast fall , senior editorAndy Kryzahad an inspired thought : we should combine a McDonald ’s Big Mac with a sausage balloon , egg , and cheese McGriddle , and a bacon , egg , and high mallow McGriddle to make the ultimate Big MacGriddle . Because dinner party and breakfast betray concurrently really just opens the doors up to this kind of affair . So we did it ! Then we ate it . And you’re able to too . Here ’s how :

Getting something off theMcDonald ’s breakfast menuat the same time as the regular fare was way more difficult than ab initio envisage because All Day Breakfast is actually fairly limited , and the lunch menu is n’t available before 11 am .

So while I went to one McDonald ’s at 10:30am for the McGriddles , our photographer Cole Saladino staked out a dissimilar location for the Big Macs at 11 am on the nose . If you ca n’t give chase team , though , you probably could just go to one McDonald ’s at 10:55 and get the breakfast , and then wait 10 minutes until 11:05 to get the dejeuner . We were n’t worried about the half - 60 minutes the griddle cakes would be sitting before they were photographed becauseJeremy Glasswould be eating it , and he’sfine with putting most thing into his consistency , andvice versa .

Then, secure enough sandwiches

Once you get over the huge blow that All Day Breakfast does n’t admit McGriddles , get more of everything than you think you ’ll require because it ’s important to have space to troubleshoot should something in the build mental process go awry .

Debate asset placement

Though the Big Mac ’s middle bun is what make water a Big Mac a Big Mac , it is also objectively the bad part of the sandwich . I thought about substitute the middle roll with the ranking griddle bar , but this seek to be structurally unsound . This one time I organize ahouse out of pizza , so I know what I ’m talk about here .

Use the Big Mac bun for the base

It has more surface orbit than the griddle cakes , which is essential to a freestanding sandwich .

Count your calories

Five hundred forty kilogram calorie ( the Big Mac)+570 calories ( the sausage balloon , ballock , and cheese McGriddle)+450 calories ( the bacon , bollock , and cheeseflower McGriddle)-250 calories ( the two griddle bar that were discarded for esthetic / structural purposes)=1,310 calories

Then gear up to disregard calories entirely!!

Make trusted you use proper little finger placement so the layer do n’t fall through out all over the blank space .

Here are Jeremy’s words about the Big MacGriddle, straight from his own gaping maw:

" Like anything you prescribe from McDonald ’s , the Big MacGriddle just tasted very McDonald’s - y. Of course , there was more of an overwhelming preference and grain than your typical sandwich , as just about every ingredient from McD ’s arsenal was thrown into my sassing at once . It was an riot of flavor , both new and old , that marinated my tongue and wed together my two favored meals at once . "

He continues…

" It was a party in my sass where everyone was invite , everyone was naked , and the only condition for attending was getting into a huge fuck - quite a little . I did n’t know if I was eating a heavy breakfast , a wakeful dinner , or every meal at once . After everything , I did n’t experience wonderful , but that ’s credibly because I had a full McGriddle right after taste the Big MacGriddle . God , I ’m a monster . "
