I went into the kitchen at McDonald's and learnt its behind the scene secrets

“Hello, welcome to McDonald’s. Can I take your order, please?” I’m not ashamed to say that I’m at McDonald’s far more often than I’d like to admit to the bloke that runs my gym. But at the end of the day, if you’re short on time, cash and your hanger fuse is nearly burnt out, sometimes only a 99p mayo chicken will do. Okay, throw on some cheese bites and a medium Coke, too.

I was invited into the kitchen of my local McDonald’s to see if I could make my own Big Mac, as well as watch the experts show me how it’s done. I got a McDonald’s apron and a cap to keep my hair out of my face before heading behind the scenes to see where the magic happens.
I’m not going to lie, I’m no Nigella Lawson in the kitchen. I can
