In 1996, McDonald's set out to target more educated tastebuds in a
massive advertising campaign for its newest burger creation. We
watched while Ronald McDonald golfed, danced, and leisurely hung out
with real-life grown-up humans, instead of the puffy Mayor McCheese
and that bunch of wacko puppets. Supposedly the Arch Deluxe, with the
"Adult Taste", would appeal to those dancers and golfers and anyone
else with a sophisticated palate. But let's face it, we're not
talking Beef Wellington here. The Arch Deluxe is just a hamburger,
after all, with only a couple of elements that set it apart from the
other menu items. The big difference is the creamy brown mustard
spread on the sandwich right next to the ketchup. And the burger is
assembled on a sesame seed potato roll, which actually tastes very
much like your common hamburger bun. Also, you can order the burger
with the optional thick-sliced peppered bacon, for an extra ka-ching.
Okay, so the plan hasn't quite worked out the way Micky D's had
hoped. Sales of the Arch Deluxe have been disappointing, to say the
least. That's why I thought this would be a good recipe to clone. You
know, for all of you who have been struggling to get by without the
Arch Deluxe in your lives. The Arch Deluxe may have gone on to join
the McD.L.T and the McLean Deluxe on the great list of fast food duds
from our past. But you can now create a delicious kitchen facsimile
of your own with this recipe. And hopefully, in the meantime, Ronald
has gone back to work.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and the brown mustard.
Set aside.

Grill the face of each of the buns on a griddle or frying pan over
medium heat.

Roll the ground beef into a ball and pat it out until it's
approximately the same diameter as the bun.

Cook meat on hot griddle or frying pan for about 5 minutes per side or
until done. Be sure to lightly salt and pepper each side of the patty.

Build the burger in the following order, from the bottom up:

On Bottom Bun:
* beef patty
* American cheese slice
* 1 to 2 tomato slices
* lettuce

On Top Bun:
* Mayonnaise & mustard
* Ketchup
* Onions

Slap the top onto the bottom and serve hot.

Tip:

If you can find thick-sliced pepper bacon in your supermarket, you
can add it to the burger just as you could at the restaurant chain.
Cut one slice in half after cooking and place the slices next to each
other onto the bottom bun before adding the beef patty.
