Earlier today, I walked up to a touch screen kiosk with mouth images of allBest Burger Ingredients. Guac? To verify. Tools of tortilla? You have BETCHA. Lettuce envelope? Yes!

No, I was not at my local artisanal burger joint. I was atMcDonaldsOn a mission to try their new "creating your taste" burger machines, which allow customers to make the ultimate custom sandwich by mixing and making more than 30 ingredients. I was on mission to see if a health nut and a burger lover could both create a meal that they really appreciate.

At the New York Location of Golden Arches on the 58th and 3rd Avenue, I gathered a quarter-book hamburger in a slice of lettuce garnished with grilled mushrooms and onions, sliced ​​tomatoes and ketchup. The kiosk, complete with a calorie counter, shocked the combination at 340 calories - but I was skeptical. This is the same amount, according to the McDonald website, as Barger Artisan Roll Barger - a hamburger that contains bacon, cheese, strips of tortilla and vegetables on the same amount of meat as my creation.

On the same machine, we have superimposed two book cakes inside a craft bun and the dress with Sriracha Mayo, three kinds of bacon, three kinds of pepper cheese, strips of tortilla, jalapesños and a Range of vegetables - for a total of 790 calories. But if you dreamed of recreating theBig Max Burger-A 4-pound kiosk creation "Create your taste", filled with 10 orders of 16 different packs - you do not have a chance. The machine only allows you to place three orders of each pack.

The machine itself was not this intuitive - she added pickles to my hamburger that I did not ask - and an employee had to help us several times throughout the process. I paid for thehamburgers, one side of the fries, a package of apples and two drinks inside the machine (it cost a reduction of $ 32.58), then a McDonald employee asked us at a table.

"A waitress will be with your order in a little!" she said.

A waitress in McDonald's? When no one had delivered our hamburgers 10 minutes later, I thought I could have heard it. But after five minutes of five minutes, the food has arrived in Pub style metal baskets. The two meals were quite delicious, a clear stage of the typical McDonald's burger. Unfortunately, the living roomgrilled vegetables And certainly less greasy, greasy burger cakes were not good enough to assert the extra wait. Hetero and salted burgers aside, if I did not know that my lunch was from McDonald's, I would not have been the wisest.

The price of the most important experience was the price, but it was an experience of each Mickey D fan should try once. Currently, Burger kiosks are only on some Select McDonald's in the United States, but it is planned to expand the program at 2,000 US locations, so keep peeled eyes, McChefs!
