We tried McDonald's latest additions to its burger menu - here's the verdict

As Joni Mitchell once said, you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

That's exactly how I felt upon discovering that McDonald's had killed its Create Your Taste experiment.

A thorn in the side of many franchisees offering over 30 fancy ingredients and toppings, the Create Your Taste customizable menu was recently replaced with a different and more limited menu platform called Signature Crafted Recipes.

Instead of allowing you to build your own burger, this new menu offers three burgers to choose from: pico guacamole, sweet barbecue bacon, and maple bacon dijon.

You can then choose a protein - quarter-pound burger, crispy chicken, or grilled chicken - and pick from two options of buns.

As a Create Your Taste fan myself, I decided to test all three replacement burgers. Which, if any, are worth a bite?
