Ex-McDonald’s Chef Unveils 3 Insider Hacks for Improved Food Quality

A former McDonald’s chef has gained massive attention for sharing three essential hacks to enhance your dining experience at the fast-food giant.

Chef Mike Harcz, a popular figure on TikTok, frequently posts videos offering valuable tips for McDonald’s patrons. His content often includes clever dupes for classic items sold at the chain, including a viral Walmart version of their breakfast sausage.

In addition to his dupes, Mike shares insider information and secret tips that many customers might not know.

In a video from September, he provided viewers with the three top hacks for getting better food when ordering at McDonald’s.

“Number one,” he started, “ask for grill seasoning on your Egg McMuffin. The round eggs used in the McMuffin are not seasoned. Request the grill seasoning,” which is the same seasoning used on their hamburgers.

“A little sprinkle on your breakfast sandwich enhances the flavor,” he revealed.

“Number two is simple: if the buns seem dry on your burger, ask for a steamed bun. This option is usually available with the Filet-O-Fish, but you can request it for your Quarter Pounder or regular cheeseburger. Steaming enhances the overall burger experience.”

Finally, he recommended, “The top thing you can do is to ask for anything—request a fresh batch of your desired item. If you’re willing to wait, just ask for it.”

Viewers responded positively to Mike’s tips, with one commenting: “I’ve been requesting quarter pounders on a steamed fish bun for years… sometimes I ask for minced onions instead of the regular ones.”

Another noted, “Before kiosks took over, I always asked to wait for fresh fries.”

One follower shared a helpful hint: “Order a McChicken with two patties. It’s always made fresh.”

A wise tip from another user emphasized, “Be POLITE when making special requests. Avoid being rude or demanding; start your interaction on a positive note.”
