McDonald\u2019s is making their largest burger ever and some customers will test it early Instagram: ktla5newsMcDonald\u2019s has announced plans to create the largest burger customers have ever seen \u2013 and you might be lucky enough to try it early. This news comes after the chain introduced its \u2018Best Burger\u2019 initiative at the beginning of 2024, which included various improvements to patties, cheese, and buns. Now, as well as these new plans, McDonald\u2019s is also increasing the size of burgers, as per the chain\u2019s quarterly earnings call on April 30. \u201cAs we look to further build on our leadership in beef, our team of chefs from around the world have created a larger satiating burger,\u201d Borden said. \u201cWe\u2019ll be testing this burger in a few markets later this year ensuring that it has universal appeal before scaling it across the globe.\u201d This follows the chain\u2019s \u2018Best Burger\u2019 initiative, which kicked off at the start of 2024. Big changes have been happening with McDonald\u2019s burgers this year, both in the preparation and ingredients. Some of the key alterations include: Beef patties: The patties will get a tighter sear on the grill, resulting in a juicier and tastier burger. – Grilled onions: New processes include adding white onions to the grill on top of the patties while they cook for an authentic grilled flavor and crispy texture. – Meltier cheese: Hotter beef patties guarantee that the cheese oozes over the sides, creating an even smoother texture. – Fresher lettuce: Crispy shredded iceberg lettuce straight from the fridge will add that fresh crunch. – Softer buns: The burger buns will now be made to a brioche-style recipe so that they are even softer with a slightly sweet flavor. And of course, they\u2019ll be freshly toasted to order. – The company said the \u2018Best Burger\u2019 initiative has been deployed in over 80% of their restaurants globally and was recently introduced in France. \u201cEarly results were promising, with lifts across our core burger categories and improved customer satisfaction in both our taste and quality scores,\u201d CFO, Ian Borden, said about the initiative. \u201cThe progress we\u2019ve made with our core burgers highlights what McDonald\u2019s can achieve when we tap into the full power of our system size and scale.\u201d McDonald\u2019s also spread excitement in April with their new Lotus Biscoff collab, which features a brand new drink and McFlurry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
