As a teenager, I loved the old Phil Donahue Show. (Dating myself here.) One of the last episodes I got to see featured a woman who did the same thing you did here, Emmy. She called herself a "food detective." She didn't want to know the ingredients in the foods she "investigated." She just tried to make her versions as close in taste to the originals that she could. She had a nationally syndicated newspaper column, a syndicated radio show (this was WAY before podcasts), and some cookbooks published. On the episode, she shared the recipes of some of her successes, including McDonald's Big Mac's Secret Sauce, Wendy's Frosty, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, White Castle Hemburgers, etc. I wrote them all down as she made them on the show. She told everyone that she once had Colonel Sanders on her radio show. He told her that there's something you can buy in almost any grocery store in America that will make your fried chicken taste just like his. It doesn't have his famous original 11 herbs & spices, but it'll taste like it. He promised to return to her radio show to reveal what it was in a few months to share the secret. So for those few months, she drove her family crazy by cooking a LOT of fried chicken, trying to figure out the secret. When Sanders returned to her show, he told her that it was Italian salad dressing seasonings, the kind that come in an envelope and you add to oil and vinegar to make the dressing. You just mix the seasonings (she didn't say whether you were supposed to use the whole envelope or just part of it) to the flour you dredge your chicken pieces in. That made sense to me because my mom had always done that.
I’ll take Emmy’s version of the Big Mac any day of the week, better quality ingredients , fresher tasting and best of all cooked with the knowledgeable culinary skills and love of Emmy😀😀😀
I grew up on fried spam, cut up and mixed with scrambled eggs. It was affordable and filling. It's nostalgic deliciousness to me and it always bums me out when people hate on spam. You just have to prepare it the right way!
I totally get it, bc I grew up on something called "Corned Beef Hash" which is another salted/ preserved canned meat product. The "hash" means it's mixed with a hash brown--very finely diced potato. When it's all pan sautéed, and gets those browned bits with an egg, corned beef hash is 🔥🔥💯👍🥰 So I totally get the Spam nostalgia. I haven't had CBH since I was a kid, but if I caught a wiff of it one lucky morning, there's no way I'd be able to turn it down lol
It's funny cause that's what we all consider poor people food. But shit I tried buying a can of both spam and corned beef. Shit was like 5 bucks EACH. That's not just inflation either.
@@bodyofhope We had corned beef hash, too. NGL....I have a can in my pantry right now because I was craving it. 😅 and yes...unfortunately, nothing we considered affordable back then is still affordable today. It's painful grocery shopping
I would like your version better than today's Big Mac, to be sure! However, in my years in McDonald's management (from the mid 70's and scattered through until the early 90's) this recipe does not copy very closely at all. From the Mac sauce recipe (no french dressing or dill relish but definitely paprika and a few other changes), to the pickle slice variety, cut & thickness (smooth cut and quite thin. always 2 slices), or even placement of reconstituted onions, which were always placed on the burger patty immediately after flipped and while on the grill. The seasoning (salt and pepper) did not add MSG either. The uniformity of the patty matters too. 1/10'th of a pound per round thin frozen patty. If it is not made round before freezing, it will not grill up the same (more edge surface area would cause the protruding parts to overcook). The extra bottom bun to be used for the middle needs the crust side sliced off to recreate so that both sides of the middle toast evenly, and the buns should be sweeter than a standard bun you would buy, but not nearly as sweet as say Hawaiian bread. No fats are added to the bun pieces to toast. The bottom and the center were toasted and then dressed while meat was cooked and the crown was toasted as the bottoms and middles were pulled to dress. This helped maintain the desired temperature throughout the process and supplied an extra burst of heat to melt the cheese quickly after assembly and placement into the thin cardboard box (although it was a foam box in the 70's, not cardboard). There were no microwaves used ever, and placement in the heated holding bin was only a desired destination during rush periods so wait times could be minimized. 10 minutes was the MAXIMUM holding time back in the day and less time was preferred. In the 90's, things really changed. Locations started adding clamshell grills in the place of the traditional flat restaurant grills. that allowed cooking both sides of the patties at the same time. The onions could no longer be placed on the patties during cooking because it caused cleaning issues with the clamshell grills. Many locations also added holding trays for the meat. It degrades the quality IMO as the held stacked cooked patties placed in plastic Cambro trays trapped humidity and ruined that caramelized flavor and texture I loved. Holding times also changed as cooked meat had it's own time (much longer) on top of the maximum assembled holding time, and it was no longer standard to place them in a heated stainless holding bin. The other very important factor that kept McDonald's food predictable were exact calibrated temperatures, equipment and cook times. Other than the use of the microwave, I would love the one you made more though! I paused with the Big Mac and I am sure I would have many comments on other items, but I already typed a novel nobody is likely to want to read anyway, so I will likely juust enjoy the rest silently. You are awesome and I love watching your episodes! Thank you!
I was born in the early 80's and can remember the difference between 80's and 90's McDonald's so this is really interesting! Thank you for taking the time to write it up! :)
Now I understand what people mean how they changed in the 90s. The only thing I was around for was when they changed the cooking oil so their fries weren't as good. I didn't get to have McDonald's as a kid so I have no idea on the difference. My experience started in the mid-late 90s. My husband got a job at McDonald's and he lasted two days He couldn't handle that clamshell girl He's used to flipping burgers He worked at Burger King for 4 years He said he felt useless just standing there while the machines did all the work. Which I found funny because at Burger King they placed the burgers on that chain thing and it takes it through the broiler so he didn't flip burgers there either I was confused by that statement. Thank you for your novel. Personally I would have liked more information.
Why does she act like she’s 5 years old so much of the time? 41:15-42:20 is just so cringe. And her repeating the word “stinkin’” a million times is just nauseating. Does she think it makes her seem endearing or something?!
Fast food places have become expensive because of all the new items, collaborations with celebrities and focusing on too much of a variety of items. When menus were simpler, costs were lower for the restaurants so they would charge less. They carry over the cost of all the new items to customers. Fast food restaurants need to start streamlining their menus and get rid of unpopular items to bring down costs.
That is the neatest big mac ive seen come out of any McDonald's. In the uk they all come kinda squashed flat with half the ingredients fallen out of the bun. Then again, they're put under a hell of a lot of time pressure
Here in Ontario our Big Mac’s have A LOT more sauce and lettuce - as in you wind up with a side salad in the container.. Also for the “special sauce” I just mix all the condiments together (mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish) heavy on the first two, then a big of sugar and a dash of vinegar. Or just thousand islands dressing (if you’re not allergic to it, like I am).
I remember Big Macs tasting different when i was a kid compared to now. I think the oil they use is different and they use less sauce now. you were not wrong. It was saucier years ago.
I am so old, the first time my dad took me and my sister to McDonald's, it was the classic first generation store front. There was no place to sit, it was partially based on the classic lunch counter so elbow height counters around the place. Back then? Hamburger 10 cents, Cheeseburger 12 cents. Fries 5 cents. Soda (one size) 5 cents. Milk Shake (one size) Vanilla, Chocolate, or Strawberry... I think that was 10 cents too. I'm still angry that the owners knocked down the building over night simply to build a parking lot. The local university was going to transport it to campus for its architecture program.
Do you remember the stores in the 80s where a parent sat in a chair but the kids sat in a small horse saddle type seat? That was my first McDonald’s experience as a young child, eating inside the restaurant. Haha
*FYI !!!* People need to know that *McDonald’s french fries are* _STILL NOT_ *vegetarian!* Despite changing the oil from beef tallow to vegetable oil, they still use meat products in the seasoning for the french fries!
If you queeze the spam can corner to corner rather than on the sides it breaks the vacuum seal, I am definitely team spam. Cannae beat fried spam sandwich with a fried egg on top mmmm :)
I love the Top Secret books, so glad you have them. I made their cinnabon recipe for a friend who could not eat cinnamon, so I substituted cocoa so he could still try one : )
Oh my God, I'm so glad to find you again. I was very young when you made videos about Japanese DIY kits, I loved watching these videos so much. Thank you!
A past roommate offered to make a wonderful dish for supper one night. I got home from work and sat down to this culinary masterpiece. What she had prepared was a whole chunk of Spam slathered in marinara and mozzarella cheese. I will not deny that it was interesting but not a menu item that I would recommend. Cheers!
I have some dishes that I would never prepare for other people. This sounds like the kind of dish your roommate should have known was too weird for most people lol
Oh my gosh! I swear I haven't had one of those cookies in probably 35 years. As soon as I saw it in the intro, my mind instantly had a very vivid taste memory.
My favorite channel for a positive, happy vibes🥰 I used to make these for my son and his friends when they were in high school. Much more affordable than buying Big Macs at McDonalds for a group of hungry teenagers! He had a friend who was a vegetarian so I always had veggie burgers on hand for a special vegetarian Big Mac just for him.😋😋
The only way I'll eat Spam is by slicing Spam lengthways and placing the slices flat in a baking dish. Sprinkle each slice liberally with brown sugar. Bake in a 350° oven for 10 minutes or until heated through. I love the salty and sweet taste 💜
This is the only recipe I've seen that uses french dressing. I've always used thousand island as that's what we were using probably before Emmy was born. May be why she said the real one wasn't as orangey.
thousand Island dressing has always been orange in colour French dressing has always been cream in colour. Thousand Island dressing has never been so orange - that thousand Island dressing used is so orange it glows in the dark!
My mouth was watering watfhing this 😻 Miracle Whip isn't easy to find in Australia, but we don't have to make tne Special Sauce from scratch... One of our main supermarkets, Coles, sells a dupe that is practically the same "Special Burger Sauce". They also have "Flame Grilled" and vegan versions. They also have "Special Burger Pickles" which are EXACTLY the same as Maccas. They used to have "Special Burger Ketchup", which was a precise dupe of the Hamburger (Junior Burger) sauce with the diced pickles. It was absolutely DEEEEELICIOUS, but sadly they discontinued it.
You must have read my mind. A week ago, I was looking up how to make McDonald's French fries at home. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge with us.😊
This is so much fun. A well-made Big Mac with not too much sauce is a fantastic burger. And when I was a teen I loved McDonaldland Cookies. I think they may have been made by Keebler for MdD. I woud eat them while drinking a McDonald's Coke, which is always better than regular fountain coke. The two together were kind of amazing.
Yes! I agree totally with you and composting. I have people say all the time they won’t do it bc of possible critters coming and I’m like but is that a bad thing really? Also I mean they come anyways so why not share some compost with them right!! But of course if you had a super tiny yard and needed to let the dogs out that might become an issue but for us it’s not. It’s far from our house and we are always out with the dog
Depends on the critter. Rats, not so much a fan of. Also I tend to go outside in the dark and I don't really wanna kick a raccoon by accident and get bitten
When I was in Japan I went to Mos Burger and I couldn't read the menu but I saw a burger with a white substance on it that I assumed was cheese and pointed at it. It turned out to be a burger with a big glop of mayo on it.
Why does she act like she’s 5 years old so much of the time? 41:15-42:20 is just so cringe. And her repeating the word “stinkin’” a million times is just nauseating. Does she think it makes her seem endearing or something?!
46:43 I’m not surprised that she keeps bees either. Of course she does, because she eats meat too - she has has no issues whatsoever with animal cruelty.
As a former McDonalds employee, the press was a heavy cast iron round thing and buns are never warmed on the same surface as the meat. You flavored your bun
You gonna remember when it comes to fast food everything is made from a cost saving perspective. There is just enough to satisfy the customer when you’re making these at home you can always add more and make it better.
I was born Sharon Rose. I just changed my name to Frankie when I was 40. I wish I was your college roommate that would have been awesome! I too love a Big Mac!! Thanks for always making me smile but today a bit bigger!!
If all of these recipes come from the same source, I would bet the Mrs. Fields' cookies are the same recipe my mom got from people passing it around at work. The secret ingredient is oatmeal run through a blender to make them chewy. I don't know if the recipe was accurate, but they are good!
Love you Emmy, but i only love McDonald's hashbrowns, so i watched only for the cheese pull. And it was beautiful! Now I can make them whenever I want, and that's beautiful too, thanks! 3 million thanks ❤
Emmy l really enjoy watching your family and cooking 🍳🔪 videos on RUclips channel God bless you all my name is Sharon Curry from Decatur Illinois 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
I remember a tasty McDonald's sandwich in Japan in 1988. It was a pork patty, I believe with barbecue sauce and IIRC onion rings. The only possible downside was its unfortunate name, the BM Burger.
Oh maaannnn you know what I like even more than McDonald's? That's right banana pudding. Banana pudding is the thing that Ronald dreams about but was to afraid to try himself. Don't be like Ronald. Live life boldly and make some banana pudding.
You mentioned how yours had more sauce, very possibly true, I think all those "burger joints" have bottles or guns that meter out a specific amount per burger, so they are uniform through out from day to day. As for the spam, Hawaii uses tons of it in the civilian population, they also make a burger from spam, but they simply cut it in half length wise
It is a modification of a meat pie. Saus, meat, vegetables. Only not baked in the bread do to different ingredients. Of the meat pie available. Everywhere. So the baked the bread. And sliced the vegetables. The meat was hot. Grinding or mincing was also used in meat pie.
Emmy with the beanie on looks like Spinelli from Recess
Omg yes!!
Holy shit
Lol
That's exactly the kind of career Spinelly would have.

When they say "we got McDonald's at home" this is what i'm now expecting
Yeah, this is some crap my mom would try and pull on me as a kid. Except we’d get Mc Broccoli with Mc Spaghetti🥦
mayonaise and miracle whip, i would've never thought to put the two together. feels like an unholy alliance, like mixing pepsi with coke.
I also found this to be very weird. 😂
I make my chicken salad with a 1:1! I think it's much better than just mayo
No way in hell that that was an original recipe. Talk about getting scammed. 😂

Yes! I agree totally with you and composting. I have people say all the time they won’t do it bc of possible critters coming and I’m like but is that a bad thing really? Also I mean they come anyways so why not share some compost with them right!! But of course if you had a super tiny yard and needed to let the dogs out that might become an issue but for us it’s not. It’s far from our house and we are always out with the dog
Depends on the critter. Rats, not so much a fan of. Also I tend to go outside in the dark and I don't really wanna kick a raccoon by accident and get bitten
I'd much rather have the Spinelli Mac than the Big Mac. Hers looked way more appetizing and that is saying a lot because I LOVE McDonald's.
Great video ...emmy .. I am loving it emmy style 🍔🍟
I think if I ate all 3 buns on the Big Mac, I wouldn’t be able to finish it.
I always take the top bun off, and then use the middle and bottom only
Emmy, you rocked this one!
I love the fact that you are eating 2 Big Macks!!!!❤️ I live through you!!🧘🏽♀️
When a hurricane is coming to Hawaii stores run out of Spam and toilet paper. The two essentials
I literally just started watching but HAVE to say that your hat is offensively cute!
I’d love to see you tackle a basic White Castle burger 😊
Ewww 🤢
When I was in Japan I went to Mos Burger and I couldn't read the menu but I saw a burger with a white substance on it that I assumed was cheese and pointed at it. It turned out to be a burger with a big glop of mayo on it.
Thanks for the hard work on the long video!!! Love it!👍🤩
Emmy dancing in the room = grown up Spinelli in my cartoon loving heart
Watching with interest. I worked at McDonald's for years, we'll see how close you get.
Half tablespoon is my favorite measuring spoon.
You are brave Emmy. Did you ever watch Bizarre Food? ❤
Andrew zimmern! 😂
The cookies!!! i would get them as a 14 year old in New Zealand back in the 90s, my mates would give me looks until they ate one!
Their cookies were the bomb!
I really appreciate how much work Emmy puts into her videos. The content on this channel is 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wanna vomit with how much she says the word “stinkin’.” She must thinks it makes her endearing or something. It’s nothing but nauseating.
Why does she act like she’s 5 years old so much of the time? 41:15-42:20 is just so cringe.
And her repeating the word “stinkin’” a million times is just nauseating. Does she think it makes her seem endearing or something?!
And I also wanna 🤢🤮 every time she says “my beautiful lovelies.” Who likes being pandered to like this?! Fuckin’ hell!
And I also wanna hurl every time she says “my beautiful lovelies.” Who likes being pandered to like this?! God I can’t stand it.
46:43 I’m not surprised that she keeps bees either. Of course she does, because she eats meat too - she has has no issues whatsoever with animal cruelty.
As a former McDonalds employee, the press was a heavy cast iron round thing and buns are never warmed on the same surface as the meat. You flavored your bun
Yeah, that's a no-no.
You gonna remember when it comes to fast food everything is made from a cost saving perspective. There is just enough to satisfy the customer when you’re making these at home you can always add more and make it better.
I'm a quarter pounder girl 💯.That first bite is so delicious . 😊
Lol..I caught the mini fridge from the Spam, Oreo burger segment.
In Alaska, McDonalds offers what they call The Denali Mac. Prety much the same except the patties are a quarter pound each.
My experience with Big Mac, the sauce gets all over my hands & fingers while eating it. I’d like to try making my own Big Mac. Looks delicious.
I was born Sharon Rose. I just changed my name to Frankie when I was 40. I wish I was your college roommate that would have been awesome! I too love a Big Mac!! Thanks for always making me smile but today a bit bigger!!
Yikes.
If all of these recipes come from the same source, I would bet the Mrs. Fields' cookies are the same recipe my mom got from people passing it around at work. The secret ingredient is oatmeal run through a blender to make them chewy. I don't know if the recipe was accurate, but they are good!
Andy Cooks is doing home made fillet o fish today. Maccas at home is popular now
Now all we need to do is learn how to make one of those toys that go with the meal!
Right? 😅
Love you Emmy, but i only love McDonald's hashbrowns, so i watched only for the cheese pull. And it was beautiful! Now I can make them whenever I want, and that's beautiful too, thanks! 3 million thanks ❤
I do remember them having the chocolate chip variety (might've been similar to Famous Amos?)
“But...does the ice cream machine work?🍦" :P
Emmy l really enjoy watching your family and cooking 🍳🔪 videos on RUclips channel God bless you all my name is Sharon Curry from Decatur Illinois 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
I remember a tasty McDonald's sandwich in Japan in 1988. It was a pork patty, I believe with barbecue sauce and IIRC onion rings. The only possible downside was its unfortunate name,
the BM Burger.
McDonald's employee here the dehydrated onions are on top of the meat now. They call them their "best Burgers".
Love you and your content so much! You are so real ❤️❤️❤️
I worked at McDonald's and they do have their special seasoning it comes in a bag
Thanks emmy great video now you should make checkers/rallys
I made Mac sauce once and it tasted exactly like mcd. I was just trying to find the recipe again and i think it's on the daring gourmet site
Am I the only one noticing this is a re-post?
Oh maaannnn you know what I like even more than McDonald's?
That's right banana pudding.
Banana pudding is the thing that Ronald dreams about but was to afraid to try himself. Don't be like Ronald. Live life boldly and make some banana pudding.
I just came to learn how to make mac sauce.
You mentioned how yours had more sauce, very possibly true, I think all those "burger joints" have bottles or guns that meter out a specific amount per burger, so they are uniform through out from day to day.
As for the spam, Hawaii uses tons of it in the civilian population, they also make a burger from spam, but they simply cut it in half length wise
I love home made hash browns,I do add a little bit of onion in mine
It’s 7am here and I’m now crawing a Big Mac 🤣
For me the cheeseburger is the perfect junk food morsal. It’s the perfect combination of salt, fat and sugar. Nothing can be that.
If you have it in your spoon set 1/2 tablespoons would be KEY
I'm curious to see the price of each item per portion, from the ingredients that you get if it would make the food feel more cost effective.
I live very far from a McDonald's so im gonna try these! Thanks hehr
8:34 i wonder if the middle bun, McD's slices that in half to remove the crust on the opposite side when they make their burger.
Loving your new content
😊❤✨️
It is a modification of a meat pie.
Saus, meat, vegetables.
Only not baked in the bread do to different ingredients. Of the meat pie available. Everywhere. So the baked the bread. And sliced the vegetables. The meat was hot.
Grinding or mincing was also used in meat pie.
A less time product. Customer. Choosing ingredients. Burger them between bread. With Hamed meat.
This could be the start of a new series! Making homemade fast food items.
RUclips close captions: eat the lucky moss!
It took me years to find that😂
Those hashbrowns look SO GOOD. On the other hand, there's no way I'mma try to make those french fries at home lmao.
