improving on the ghetto big mac · by Rafi Kam

July 28 Update: Click here for the Ghetto Big Mac movie

While we’re on the topic of Dallas Penn’s site..

Back in April, Dallas (or was it Billy?) suggested a trick where you can create a sort of Ghetto Big Mac by requesting special sauce on your dollar menu double cheeseburger.

I ruminated on that shit for about 6 weeks before I finally tried as mentioned here. From there the good word was spread at the end of a Bol BC post and then about 2 weeks later a quick reader made a reference to the ghetto Big Mac the 1st comment of Bol’s Boycott McDonalds post at XXL.

This idea has now been passed and re-passed and undoubtedly seen by thousands. I smell a delicious artery-clogging trend starting up here. I think we need a YouTube video so this can really go viral.

I’ve had 2 or 3 ghetto big macs since my post but I never tried going that extra step from DP’s original post by requesting the seeded bun and no “cueing oven” but I’m definitely doing that shit next time.

My new boldness comes from this follow up post by Billy Sunday this week.

In it Billy advises on using french fries as a deadlier substitute for the usual bread one finds in the middle of a Big Mac. The game has just been elevated.

If Dallas Penn is the father of the ghetto big mac trend, then Billy Sunday through technological innovation has just become Grandmaster Flash to Dallas’ Kool DJ Herc.

I look forward to further developments in this metaphor as I suspect we are soon to embark on the golden era of the ghetto big mac (followed by its worldwide embrace, industry co-opting and ultimate downfall).

By the way I’ve tried asking for the special sauce at 3 different McDonalds and none of them have given me a problem or charged me for it.
