A former McDonald’s corporate chef has suggested that the fast-food chain is making its burgers bad on purpose in order to keep customers coming back for the more costly items on the menu. Mike Haracz, who worked for the company until 2019, spilled secrets about the fast-food chain’s burgers and prices, claiming that the restaurant is sabotaging its own food. He cited the cheeseburger, which costs $2.89, as being less tasty so that customers will upgrade to the costliest option — a Quarter Pounder at $6.69. Haracz claims he has a flood of information to back up his theory. “Arguably, the Quarter Pounder is the best thing on the menu and is better than some fast-food burgers that actually cook them to order,” said Haracz. Social media users seemed to agree with Haracz, with some saying that all of McDonald’s food is bad.
