Former McDonald’s Employee Recommends Adding Angus Seasoning To Fries

In a viral TikTok video, @rubyguestt recently shared a top-notch fry tip with McDonald’s fans. “Stop scrolling and hear me out,” she said. “I’m a former [McDonald’s] employee and if you have not done this with your fries, you need to. Ask for Angus seasoning on your fries and this is literally the best thing.

“So much better than normal salt, and they taste so good,” she goes on. “McDonald’s fries are already amazing but with Angus seasoning… so good.”

The video quickly garnered attention, with fans and former employees chiming in to agree. One user commented, “When I first met my husband he worked at Maccas and we always had Angus seasoning on our fries!!!

However, before you rush to your nearest McDonald’s, there are a few things you need to know. A McDonald’s representative clarified to the New York Post that "The Angus seasoning on fries and wrap substitute for burgers are not official options on our menu and it will vary restaurant to restaurant on whether our teams are able to fulfill this." They suggested that customers request it at the front counter or drive-thru and chat with the crew to see if it’s possible.

Additionally, McDonald’s fans outside of Australia may be sad to hear that the delectable Angus seasoning is currently only available in Australia. But don’t fret! You can try to replicate this flavor boost at home with an angus dry rub. Among other ingredients, the seasoning mix includes garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce powder, and a bit of sugar.

While it might not be an exact match, this DIY blend could be the next best thing. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, a trip down under could be the perfect excuse to indulge in this fry-enhancing hack firsthand.

So, next time you find yourself craving McDonald’s fries, remember this simple trick. Whether you manage to get the authentic Angus seasoning or try your hand at a homemade version, it promises to take your fry experience to new heights.
