Bigger isn’t always better. However, if you have a hearty appetite and are craving a cheeseburger, sometimes only the biggest, boldest, juiciest, and most flavorful will suffice.

I got to try the new McDonald’s Big Arch Burger this week and can honestly say it is sit-down restaurant-quality with that Mickey D’s edge. The massive burger starts with a toasted sesame and poppy seed bun, topped with two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of melted white cheddar cheese, crispy and slivered onions, fresh lettuce, tangy pickles, and the delicious new Big Arch Sauce, a tangy, creamy sauce with a perfect balance of mustard, pickle, and sweet tomato flavors. Each bite was the perfect blend of salty, sweet, and tang.

Fatburger Triple Kingburger

The Fatburger Triple Kingburger is a massive triple meat stack that basically put the chain on the map. It is also called the XXXL, weighing 1.5 lbs and ranging from 1686 to 2050 calories, depending on the fixings. “Triple the patties for 1.5 pounds of 100% pure lean beef, fresh ground and grilled to perfection. Served on a toasted sponge-dough bun,” the chain writes, recommending ordering it with “The Works” for the “full Fat experience” with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard, pickles, and relish. “I’ve never had a burger from Fatburger before and decided to try this Kingburger with bacon… 10/10! Fresh tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, red onions. Delicious! The pic doesn’t do justice… it was massive but juicy.. 1/2lb of meat. A Redditor says.
