A former McDonald’s chef has disclosed what he says you should and shouldn't order from the menu. Mike Haracz, who held the title of Manager of Culinary Innovation for the US menu for four years, has lifted the lid on the fast food chain's 'secrets'.Sharing his favourite meal and the best customer swaps, 40-year-old Mike has some very useful tips.

He says he wouldn't order the iconic bagel breakfast sandwich as it is and would switch the standard folded egg to either a round egg or the scrambled option.And timing, according to Mike, is everything. “I feel like the folded egg used on their breakfast sandwiches tends to be dry and lack flavour,” Mike, who spent years developing new items and limited-time offers, told NeedToKnow.“The new bun is not as good as it used to be.

I would recommend asking for it steamed for a better burger experience."Mike said his advice is based on "personal taste preferences" as there is nothing to avoid from a food safety perspective.

But with over 20 years of professional experience, as well as degrees in culinary arts and culinary nutrition, he knows the tricks of the trade.Mike’s personal favourite order is a classic.
