Diners in the Lone Star State were invited to submit burger builds (using only on-hand ingredients) with the promise that one would be designated the “official McDonald’s burger for the great state of Texas.” It’s a sort of “Create Your Taste” customization initiative on a larger scale.

How large? McDonald’s says it received 27170 entries, and 206457 votes were cast which were enough to winnow the competition to five finalists. A winner is promised on June 27, announced at mcdburgershowdown.com.

The Lone Star Bronc: Premium bun, two quarter-pound beef patties, American and pepper-Jack cheeses, grilled onions, sliced pickles, applewood-smoked bacon, shredded lettuce and sweet onion BBQ sauce.

The DobleTXMeet: Artisan roll, two classic beef patties, Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, applewood-smoked bacon, herb seasoning, chipotle ketchup and regular ketchup.

The Lone Star Stack: Texas toast, sliced pickles, two quarter-pound beef patties, white Cheddar cheese, applewood-smoked bacon, American cheese, caramelized onion and sweet onion BBQ sauce.

The McSqually: Texas toast, two quarter-pound beef patties, two American cheese slices, two strips of applewood-smoked bacon and Big Mac sauce.

The Gourd: Texas toast, shredded lettuce, applewood-smoked bacon, guacamole, quarter-pound beef patty, American cheese and barbecue sauce.

How do you pronounce doe blay text meet?

 

[Line_HTX]

You will not get me to eat that.

Too many calories.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

How do you pronounce doe blay text meet?

Basically just like that, only drop the t after tex.

Doblay (doble = Spanish for double) Tex meat.

 

[Premium Quality]

From those choices, the Lone Star Stack looks to be the more Texan.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Mcsqually plz.

 

[Aztechnology]

looks the best.

 

[BoosterDuck]

these rep Texas the best

 

[Surface of Me]

Give me the McSqually

 

[painey]

it wasn't photoshopped, just how you digitally made the burger look.. like when you go to pizzahut.com and select your toppings and they appear.

Terrible name.

I would still eat all of those burgers though.

Ah, that makes sense.

 

[Starfield]

I rather have a McTexas and a bottle of Absinthe served

 

[Kozak]

Those all look terrible yet sound great.

A real burger joint should make these.

 

[EulaCapra]

My mouth is telling me to go for the Lone Star Stack. Because Texas Toast and it doesn't have McDonald's useless shredded lettuce.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

As someone who lives in Texas and loves the best burger fast food place down here which arguably makes the best burgers in fast food, whataburger, I'd tell McDonalds that if you want to stand a chance choose one of the ones with the Texas toast.

The Patty melt is the best burger in a whataburger, aim for that.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

Will the winner only be sold in Texas?

 

[perfectchaos007]

The burger I submitted in the contest was a lot better than either of those, but I didn't feel like bugging all of my friends on facebook to vote for it so it didn't make the finals

 

[Tarkus]

Shredded lettuce should be banned from all burgers. Put some leaf lettuce on that shit. It's always better.

 

[Aim_Ed]

Bacon on everything?

 

[Tarkus]

Bacon on everything?

Yes. Like butter, it makes everything better.

 

[Premium Quality]

I'm not from Texas. I've never been there or plan to visit anytime soon.
But in my head, I envision Hank Hill reading your post and shaking his head.
I'd like to think he would recommend The Lone Star Stack or The McSqually.

 

[Aim_Ed]

Yes. Like butter, it makes everything better.

Except burgers. I don't put butter on my burgers either.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Will the winner only be sold in Texas?

Likely. Chicago did a similar contest and I think the winner of that one was also restricted to their locations. Though I suppose the winner would also be a candidate for nationwide tests for a limited time deal sort of thing.

 

[Forerunner]

Tough decision! I have to go with the DobleTXMeet. Dat chipotle ketchup!

 

[backflip10019]

#mcsqually.

Looks delicious.

 

[Azzurri]

Lone Star Stack is my pick.

 

[I speel my dreenk]

Lone Star Stack is the best representation of Texas up there.

 

[Goro Majima]

Q: What is "the official McDonald’s burger of Texas"?

A: Whataburger

This.

Out of the choices though, the Gourd seems about right. Or the Lone Star Stack.

 

[SliceSabre]

Gimme dat Lone Star Stack. I'm practically drooling.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

My arteries hurt just looking at these.

 

[Auctopus]

You will not get me to eat that.

Too many calories.

Why are you in a thread about McDonald's burgers (Designed by Texans no less) expecting low calories?

 

[BFIB]

My arteries hurt just looking at these.

They are just clogged up with freedom!

 

[Mr. Giggles]

McSqually.

do it Texas

My arteries hurt just looking at these.

communist confirmed

 

[Iksenpets]

Q: What is "the official McDonald’s burger of Texas"?

A: Whataburger

I would try all of these burgers as interpreted by Whataburger.

 

[old manatee]

The official burger of Texas should be one that is ordered by an inmate before an execution.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Lone Star cause Spaceballs.

 

[otapnam]

Lonestar stack sounds like my type of burger.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Lonestar stack sounds like my type of burger.

The LoneStar Stack is the winner. And according to McDonalds, it's available now in Texas

 

[Krejlooc]

They should offer a whataburger

 

[Pastry]

Just go to Whataburger tho

 

[UFO]

They should call it the "Lethal Injection".

 

[Bernbaum]

The Whataburger double patty melt is the official burger of Texas. What the fuck is this shit?

 

[andrerobot]

No Patty McBurgerface?
