6th place: Filet O'Fish

This burger features the Alaska Pollock meat that the fast food giant claims to be sustainably sourced.
Mitchell says that the burger has a "weird fishy taste" (for obvious reasons) and that it reminds him of his childhood when he would occasionally be coerced into eating them during religious holidays".
5th place: McChicken

McDonald's Australia claims on their website that the chicken meat they use for their McChicken burgers is locally sourced.
While the burger is considered a classic menu item, Mitchell said that the meal tastes "bland".
He says: "Bland, blergh and something I could make."
The reporter, however, gives a bit of advice on how to give it more flavour...
"Play up the mayo, iceberg lettuce combo — which is typically good — but in this case lacked flavour," Mitchell says.
4th place: Grand Angus

This burger makes up part of the fast food chain's premium menu but for Mitchell, the burger seems to be "more bad than boujee".
The reporter writes: "It had a slightly thicker patty, a little bit of salad and some nice sauce combos."
Mitchell also describes it as the Macca's version of a whopper — Hungry Jack's famous burger.
3rd place: Cheeseburger

"Fantastic size, not too big," Mitchell writes.
He notes that the burger features soft, sweet buns, a delicious meat patty, and a plastic cheese "that struggles to fully melt".
The journalist also emphasised that the topping in this burger — small amounts of onion, pickles, and tomato sauce — makes it the "perfect burger".
2nd place: Chicken and cheese

What happens when you put cheese on a fried chicken patty? PERFECTION!
"Great sized buns, a fried chicken pattie (it’s really a large nugget) smothered in cheese and covered with life-changing mayonnaise," he writes.
The burger is simple and definitely tasty.
1st place: Big Mac

For most of us, Big Mac is synonymous with McDonald's — there's just no way for us to be separating the two! For starters, McDonald's is known for Big Macs (see how I struggle to not associate one with the other?).
The combination of the beef burger, lettuce, pickles, onion, and secret sauce makes this burger irresistible.
