Big Arch vs other BIG fast-food burgers

McDonald’s recently launched a new burger called the Big Arch, and is McDonald’s largest standard burger ever. A Big Mac style burger but much bigger, having almost double the calories at 1,020, and 2 × quarter-pound patties.

Let’s take a look at what other Fast Food restaurants in the US are selling that can compete with this BIG Burger.

Wendy’s Baconator

With around 1,000 Calories and approximately ½ lb beef + 6 strips of bacon this is the closest rival.
The Baconator is a little greasy while the Big Arch is more balanced with veggies and sauce.

Burger King Double Whopper

The Double Whopper has over 900 calories and has a flame-grilled beef, and more veggies. According to the New York Post some taste tests say the Whopper still wins over Big Arch on flavor balance and cost less than $10.

Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger

With approximately 920 Calories and 2 fresh patties this burger feels a little bit more higher quality, and more expensive that the Big Arch.

Keep in mind that the McDonald’s Big Arch is not the King of Calories, the Burger King Bacon King has over 2,100 calories while Wendy’s Triple burgers range from 1,200 to 1,400+ calories.
