I Tried to Out-McDonald McDonald's at Home

Ever looked at a McDonald's cheeseburger and thought, "How hard can it be?" Spoiler: harder than it looks. I went full DIY—buns, patties, fries, the works. My kitchen now smells like a fry vat, and my self-esteem is somewhere under the stove. The burger? Decent, but missing that mysterious McDonald's tang. The fries? Crunchy, but not quite the golden perfection I remember. My ketchup art looked like a crime scene. Still, there’s something weirdly satisfying about making fast food at home, even if it’s a little off. Would I do it again? Maybe, but next time I’ll just admit defeat and DoorDash. At least I can say I tried—and now I know why McDonald’s is still in business. Anyone else tried this and lived to tell the tale?
