Perhaps you're someone that really enjoys fast food secret menus or someone that needs to try the most outlandish food pairings, whichever it is this deep fried burger dish by The Vulgar Chef is something that must go on your list. The crude chef recently turned the popular McDonald's fan-made burger meal, the McGangBang, into a deep fried meal big enough to feed several hungry people.
The McGangBang isn't an official item on McDonald's menus, but it's one you can order separately and put together yourself. A McGangBang is comprised of a a McChicken stacked with a double cheeseburger, but here the Vulger Chef adds an extra cheeseburger. Once everything is stacked, the burgers are covered in an egg wash, bread crumbs and then deep fried.
