For months I have been reading about an item on the secret McDonald’s secret menu called the Land, Air, and Sea Burger. According to internet lore this sandwich contains a hamburger patty, a chicken patty, a Filet-O-Fish patty on one bun and can be requested but is not on the regular menu. An Esquire article about mysterious burger can be found here. Today, after talking about it for months, two of my friends and I went to a local McDonald’s and attempted to order this culinary monstrosity. We requested the Land, Air, and Sea Burger by name and the McDonald’s employee taking our order claimed to have never heard of it.
When we explained what it was she passed us off to her manager who also declared ignorance. He explained that we could order three sandwiches and put them together ourselves though, so we did. Actually, we only ordered a small hamburger, and a crispy chicken patty, and a Filet-O-Fish patty. We found out that this was a suitable option because the chicken and fish patties cost about half what the entire sandwich does. All total the Land, Air, and Sea Burger cost $4.09 (not counting the cost of the Tums that I took later.) It burger was much better than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, the chicken and fish flavor overpowered the hamburger and I wish I had gotten a Quarter Pounder instead of the small burger. Maybe we’ll try the Angry Leprechaun next time.
