McDonald’s late-night: Hash browns with your Big Mac, no problem

When it’s 2 a.m. and you’ve been out partying, chances are your appetite isn’t thinking straight. It wants a Big Mac, with a side of hash browns -- and there’s absolutely no way that voice on the drive-through intercom is telling you no.

Well, now you can get those hash browns with your Big Mac. McDonald’s is making your life (and those of its employees who actually take your order) in the wee hours of the morning a little easier by launching a late-night menu. So when you get those cravings at 2 a.m., you can satisfy them.

The late-night menu, dubbed After Midnight, will hit participating 24-hour McDonald’s outlets this month, reported Money & Co. The menu will consist of a mash-up of the chain’s most popular breakfast and dinner items with McCafe drinks, desserts, fries and hash browns.

Locations in northern Delaware, and Bryan and College Station in Texas already are serving the new menu.

All these new possibilities got us thinking about the McDonald’s item combos you never even knew you wanted. Wash down your Big Mac with an orange juice; dip your Quarter Pounder patty into a fruit and yogurt parfait; order fries with your sausage McMuffin; get that 40-piece McNuggets, dunk them in a whipped cream-topped McCafe caramel mocha and eat them like you just don’t care.
