I'm a former McDonald's chef – there's a reason you can't customize your breakfast burrito like the other items | 1MND9K5 | 2024-04-30 17:08:01
A FORMER McDonald's corporate chef has explained why customers cannot customize their breakfast burrito.
Unlike many items on the chain's menu, guests cannot personalize their orders of the early-morning favorite.
Most sandwiches and entrées on the McDonald's menu can be customized.
Guests can elect to remove items like pickles or sauces and add extras such as an additional slice of cheese.
But many customers have noticed that this is not the case with the line-up of breakfast burritos.
Turns out, there's a very specific reason for this, as former McDonald's corporate chef Mike Haracz (@chefmikeharacz) explained in a recent TikTok video.
According to Haracz, that's why adding extras to the breakfast burrito such as a hashbrown inside "is not gonna happen because they're already wrapped and mixed together."
"In the restaurant, they receive frozen tortillas and a frozen mix of egg, sausage, peppers, and all that, already mixed together," he said.
"The crew then wrap ahead of time like a prep step before breakfast service.
Haracz explained the process as follows: "The tortillas, the egg, sausage mixture, a piece of cheese. Wrap it up, put it in the paper, put a sticker on it.
"In some cases, they will microwave a whole bunch of them and put them in the universal holding cabinet."
The universal holding cabinet is a piece of kitchen equipment made specifically for McDonald's that keeps food hot and fresh.

The U.S. Sun has contacted McDonald's to verify what Haracz said.
