McDonald’s announced today that for the first time in its history it will be adding four fan-made menu hacks – as seen on social media – to its nationwide lineup starting on January 31, 2022.
Starting next week, fans can head over to their nearest participating McDonald’s location or go on the chain’s app to order the custom menu hacks by name and receive all the items required to build them by hand and on their own.
To help introduce these combos, McDonald’s brought on a few self-identified ‘menu hack masters’ to share the deets on their favorites:
The Hash Brown McMuffin features a fluffy, toasted hash brown paired with a mix of savory hot sausage, melty American cheese, and a freshly cracked egg, all served on a freshly toasted English muffin. Available during breakfast hours only.
- “I’ve been saying for years that the Hash Brown goes inside of the Sausage McMuffin with Egg… that extra little crispy bite is the real breakfast cheat code.” – Sarah Sandlin (@sarahmargaretsandlin)
The Crunchy Double Sandwich features six Chicken McNuggets topped with two 100% pure beef patties, two slices of melty American cheese, tangy pickles, chopped onions, ketchup, and mustard, all sandwiched between lightly toasted plain bun.
- “It’s simple, yet so tasty… Chicken McNuggets topped with a Double Cheeseburger, then drizzled with Tangy Barbeque Sauce. Order it now and thank me later.” – Greg Simms (@grubwithgreg)
The Land Air & Sea Sandwich features two 100% pure beef burger patties, a chicken patty, and fish, topped off with pickles, crisp shredded lettuce, chopped onion, creamy mayo, tartar sauce, and American cheese, all sandwiched between sesame seed bun. Served with a Hot ‘n Spicy McChicken sandwich at select locations.
- “A McChicken, stacked on a Big Mac, stacked on a Filet-O-Fish… it’s the flavor I never knew I needed, until I needed it. Go big baby!” – Julian Broadway (@julianbroadway)
The Surf + Turf Sandwich features two 100% pure beef patties, a fish fillet, two slices of melted American cheese, tangy pickles, chopped onions, ketchup, mustard, and creamy tartar sauce on a plain bun.
- “Sometimes I’m craving the flaky crunch of a Filet-O-Fish, sometimes I want the juiciness of a Double Cheeseburger, and sometimes I want both. So why choose?” – PJ Mattingly (@heavyhands94)
The Hash Brown McMuffin, the Crunchy Double and the Land, Air & Sea are available at participating locations nationwide via carry-out, at the Drive Thru, on the McDonald’s App or through McDelivery. The Surf + Turf is available exclusively on the brand’s app and via McDelivery.

This just doesn’t seem like good eats. One or the other…but not both. I cannot believe that there will be a big demand for this version of a surf and turf.
