McDonald's Dollar Menu
McDouble is basically their
Cheeseburger with an extra patty or their Double Cheeseburger with one less slice of cheese, however, you want to look at it. If you're unfamiliar with that, a McDouble features a slice of American cheese between two beef patties, topped with pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard on a toasted bun for
$1.
Between the different iterations of McDonald's
Hamburger/Cheeseburger, I like this one best. The Cheeseburger has too much cheese for McDonald's standard thin beef patty (and the Double Cheeseburger just doubles up on the problem) and the Hamburger lacks in the meat department as well.
The McDouble is the most balanced version with enough beef to match up against with the bun and condiments with a slice of cheese to keep it interesting without being overbearing. It's pretty good for what's basically a cost cutting measure (see also: Burger King's
Buck Double).
And for a buck, it's not a bad draw at all for a decent fast food burger that delivers on that nostalgic McDonald's Hamburger taste while just costing about a dime more for that extra beef patty.
