McDonald’s Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder with Cheese is sort of a mixture of two different Quarter Pounder varieties — Quarter Pounder Deluxe and Quarter Pounder Bacon – however with the same old condiments kicked to the curb, the pickles punched out of the park, and the onions out of the image.
The newest Quarter Pounder variation incorporates a beef patty, two American cheese slices, applewood smoked bacon, Roma tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a brand new smoky sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun. It’s additionally obtainable with two beef patties.
Earlier than seeing footage of this burger, I assumed due to the “smoky” in its identify that it will have a barbecue sauce. However as you possibly can see within the pictures, the smoky sauce appears to be like like mayonnaise or ranch dressing. Its tangy and smoky taste makes it much like a bacon-flavored ranch dressing, however it doesn’t have a powerful taste regardless that it’s on each buns.
Is the sauce tasty sufficient that I’d need it on each McDonald’s burger? I’m unsure as a result of I really feel it’s there particularly to reinforce the bacon’s taste, very similar to the recent fudge within the new Oreo Fudge McFlurry enhances the chocolatey cookie crumbles. So placing it in burgers that don’t have bacon may not work. Talking of the pork, I liked biting into the slices I had in mine. They have been thick, salty, meaty, barely crispy, and, as I’ve skilled with the common bacon Quarter Pounder, paired effectively with the meat patty.
The lettuce was crunchy, considerably inexperienced, and fell out from the burger prefer it was pretending to be in a Large Mac. As for the Roma tomatoes, two vibrant purple slices added a barely candy and acidic chew. Whereas consuming the burger, I forgot two American slices have been in it as a result of my style buds didn’t discover them. As an alternative, they ended up extra targeted on the bacon and smoky sauce.
Total, McDonald’s Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder with Cheese is a tasty variation of its traditional burger, and it efficiently makes me consider a BLT. I do consider its identify is extra of a mouthful than the burger itself, however I suppose I needs to be glad that it’s not the McDonald’s Smoky Bacon Lettuce Tomato Quarter Pounder with Pasteurized Course of American Cheese.
