Sorry folks, but even after watching 'Super Size Me' three times, I still have lazy days when I don't feel like getting dressed up for a trendy type of restaurant, ( even though it doesn't seem to be necessary in L.A).   We all have those days when we want just hop in the ride, hair uncombed and zip through a drive-thru.    In the interest of assuaging
guilt, can I get that Big Mac on a wheat bun?

If that happened, the world would implode. MceeDees can't add a truly healthy element into the equation. But you can get it wrapped in lettuce ;)

You can feel better that their yogurt or parfait is tasty enough.

Well, they have wheat buns for their premium chicken sandwiches. I'm assuming it's possible to ask for a wheat bun on your Big Mac? Or maybe their employee's heads would explode trying to figure out which button to press on the register for that...

That's what I'm saying, Kim.  I know they have a whole wheat bun back there!  Why can't they just put that chicken bun on my big mac?  You are right, they might get confused!

Hehe, you're very right, if there's no button for it on the register, you can't order it! McD's was my first job, oh, sometime way back in the last millenium. Still, it might be possible if you ask. That sounds pretty good right about now!

The Big Mac  is the only saving grace (besides the Fries) of McDonalds - and only because of the sauce.

Does anybody know what their sauce is made up? Hopefully not anyting too toxic.

It's an extremely complex mix of ketchup and tartar sauce.  ;)

That's actually a pretty good suggestion. It does make sense if you can substitute the bun for your burger from another sandwich. But it's sesame buns!! That's what make Big Macs cool.

do most of you like food from mcdonalds?  i really like their fries, i think they're the best of any fast foot chain.  chicken nuggets and sweet n sour ain't bad either.  mcchickens and big macs too.  

i'm not saying it's something i'd eat everyday, but it's not like i mind going there either

Sorry to be a party pooper.. but a big mac has a special , THIRD bun in between the twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucel ettucecheesepicklesonions, doesn't it... so substituting a different bun would not only destroy the (I can only assume) meticulous bun count of a McD's to the point where they would not willingly accomodate such a request , but also disrupt  the delicate tower of a  structure that is the Big Mac.  I foresee a huge disaster in this undertaking.... and now I want frreakin McDonalds.  Every time I see those goddamn golden arches i crave salt.

I'm tellin ya...there oughta be a law!!   I don't want to make Ronald Mac Donald's head spin...but If Jack decided to give us a wheat bun option on the Jumbo Jack...I'll bet ya a couple of their 'questionable' tacos that the hamburgler would market a brand new whole wheat variety of burgers.  

That's what we get for starting out kids out on the freakin'  Happy Meal!!

Hey, I liked their tacos, it's only thing other than their oreo shake I could stomach in Jack's.

I'm tempted to try to ask tomorrow at my local Micky D's to see if they could substitute the buns. I am not going to buy it if they insist on me buying the chicken sandwich also.

We used to play 'guess the meat" when we bought the tacos.  I can't wait to hear the response you get from Mickey Dees...it could make the 11:00 news!

OK Cidne, my boss went to Micky D's today. No dice. Apparently they said in effect of it would cost extra...that was enough for him to shut it down.

*sigh* Never send The MAN to do a simple job of picking up lunch for people in the office.

Well, I think my boss just didn't try hard enough. Since I had other things to do, it was his turn to pick up lunch for everyone today.  I'll try a different Micky D's soon...since I just had a Big Mac for lunch today.

I had the good fortune of sitting next to an exec from Burger King, he told me that McDonald's is taking all the heat for updating and making their food healthier, whilst they can offer 4 pattied Whoppers and extra BBQ sauce on thier food.

On a side note it turns out McDonalds is making a heavy investment in Chipotle nationwide in order to benifit from this new healthy food trend away from burgers and fries.

Cidne,

Yes you can! My boss was able to score a big mac in a wheat bun that goes on the Chicken sandwiches. Basically, he told me that they can easily change it in their register computer to replace the "regular" bun with the "white roll" bun.

Here's the receipt: http://images.yelp.com...

Here's the Big Mac in the Chicken sandwich box and what it looked like. It did minus the middle bun though.

Thanks Michael.

I didn't get lunch today. My boss did. He was watching me taking pictures of the customized Big Mac and thought to himself... on whether or not I'm just crazy temporarily today or do he need to called the loony bin to have me committed.
