The changes involve Micky D’s burgers, which are about to get a very big upgrade. Forget the half-melted cheese and crunchy dehydrated onions, and the boring, bland bun… McDonald’s is getting fancy and many people are lovin’ it.
Eat This Not That reported that soft toasted buns, perfectly melted cheese, onions caramelized directly onto seared beef patties…These tempting descriptions sound like they're about mouthwatering burgers served up by a premium restaurant, but they actually describe the future of burgers at the biggest fast-food name in the game: McDonald's.
The company just announced that it is planning to roll out several major upgrades to heighten all the best qualities of its signature burgers. This includes using softer buns toasted to a perfect golden brown, searing white onions directly onto burger patties for a "juicier, caramelized flavor," and ensuring that all cheese reaches optimal meltiness, McDonald's said.
McDonald's will implement these changes with the Big Mac, McDouble, classic cheeseburger, double cheeseburger, and hamburger. Big Macs will also come with even more of that beloved creamy and tangy Big Mac sauce.
"We found that small changes, like tweaking our process to get hotter, meltier cheese and adjusting our grill settings for a better sear, added up to a big difference in making our burgers more flavorful than ever," chef Chad Schafer, the senior director of culinary innovation for McDonald's United States arm, said in a statement.
McDonald's plans to implement the upgrades at all of its restaurants in the United States by 2024. It has already introduced these changes in Australia, Canada, and Belgium, and is starting to implement them in several cities on the West Coast in the United States. These lucky cities include Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Las Vegas.
McDonald’s is really trying to up their game as more and more fast food joints offer decadent burgers and outrageous chicken sandwiches.
McDonald’s is starting to look really skimpy next to some of these more extravagant burgers and sandwiches.
