We discuss McDonald’s new Big Arch burger and if it lives up to the hype

McDonald’s is rolling out a major new menu item, and we’re breaking it all down. The new Big Arch burger arrives nationwide for a limited time starting March 3 after debuting in international markets. Billed as the company’s “biggest and boldest burger yet,” this sandwich is stacked with two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of white cheddar cheese, lettuce, pickles, crispy and slivered onions, and a special Big Arch Sauce.We talk about what sets this burger apart, from the mustard, pickle and sweet tomato blend in the sauce to the toasted sesame and poppy seed bun. We also discuss the calorie count — 1,057 calories, making it the highest-calorie burger currently on the McDonald’s menu — and what that says about fast food trends today.Is this a must-try for burger fans, or just another oversized limited-time offering? We debate the taste potential, value, and whether McDonald’s needed something this big to compete in the fast-food arms race.Check out my work at https://www.cleveland.com/staff/cpugh/ and support the podcast at https://cash.app/$chrispugh3Grab a 2026 Topps Baseball Series 1 Factory Sealed Mega Box here:https://www.fanatics.com/mlb/mlb-merchandise/trading-cards/2026-topps-baseball-series-1-factory-sealed-mega-box/o-2309+t-81002141+d-017450348+f-283047133+z-9-4014397671?irclickid=3jBWaF05pxyZWGi0isRWd0EjUkux5cQ3018yUo0&irgwc=1&_s=afl_impact&utm_source=Impact&utm_medium=affiliates&SSAID=5163860#McDonalds, #BigArch, #FastFood, #BurgerReview, #NewMenuItem, #FastFoodNews, #FoodPodcast, #BurgerTalk, #LimitedTimeOffer, #FoodDiscussion, #FastFoodFans, #ChrisPugh, #YouTubePodcast, #FoodReview, #CalorieCount, #BurgerLovers, #FoodTrends, #ToppsBaseball, #SnackReview, #McDonaldsMenu
