Check this! McDonald’s has done some tinkering with the Big Mac, and now offers it in a brown bun (or pain complet) as well as the usual white one, and no it’s not an April Fool!
I think this is a really interesting move by McD’s – showing that they’re not afraid to try and make [...]

Check it! McDonald’s has opened two new stores without any McDonald’s branding. They’re called Quarter Pounder, and sell only two menu choices – a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a Quarter Pounder without, both as meals by the looks of things.

I have not had a very exciting time recently, as I’ve just been finishing editing Northern Exposure. This is probably reflected in the fact that the most interesting thing I have to write about is a new burger at McDonald’s.

My disappointment that Monopoly has finished was soon replaced by excitement that they have a new burger (two if you include a version with [...]

Yum! I’m a fan of breakfast in fast food places, and I think there’s something sadly lacking from McDonald’s breakfast menu here… McGriddles (that’s one of them above), which are available in McDonald’s in the US. Basically it’s the same as a Sausage or Bacon and Egg McMuffin, but there’s some maple syrup baked in [...]

I used to work at McDonald’s – I was a manager there for three years or so while I was at uni, and really enjoyed it. But McDonald’s is having to go through a lot of changes at the moment. One thing that they have been behind the times with is changing the design of [...]
