I just ordered the Bacon Angus burger and took one bite and noticed it was cold. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the burger was not cooked all the way. I took another bite just to see if it was the outer perimeter, but the middle was even bloodier. I don't mind rare meat, but not with hamburger meat, especially fast food hamburger meat. I tried calling the Micky D's I ordered from, but no one answered. I took the extra time out of my lunch and drove back to the location. I spoke to the manager and she agreed that it was not thoroughly cooked. She offered me a new sandwich, but I felt at that point a new sandwich for all my trouble was not enough. The only thing she said she could offer me was my money back. I took the money. I will say the first time I tried the mushroom n swiss, which was good, but make sure that when you order this thing it comes cooked.

When I do succumb to (usually drunken) temptation and hit up McDonalds my indulgences are either the quarter pounder or some chicken mcnuggets, but I'll tip my hat to the burger that, like it or not, is an American icon. Happy birthday, Mac!
