McDonalds To Roll Out “Best Burgers Ever”

April 17, 2023 By Dayton937

McDonald’s is about to make their classic burgers even better by making small but tasty improvements to the Big Mac sandwich, McDouble burger and classic Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger and Hamburger.

Here’s a look at the improvements you can expect per McDonald’s:

Softer, pillowy buns that are freshly toasted to a golden brown.
Perfectly melted cheese that will make you want to savor every last bit off the wrapper.
Juicier, caramelized flavor from adding white onions to the patties while they’re still on the grill.
Even more of everyone’s favorite Big Mac sauce, bringing more tangy sweetness in every Big Mac bite.

According to McDonald’s, the burgers are so tempting… they’ve caught the attention of McDonaldland’s resident mischief-maker, the Hamburglar. Keep your eyes peeled for the red-handed fugitive (the OG hamburger influencer) who is back to his old burger-snatching tricks in the brand’s newest TV commercial. When you spot his notorious cape and striped outfit in your city, you’ll know that’s when you can head to your local McDonald’s to get your hands on McDonald’s “best-ever burgers.”

October 25, 2022 By Lisa Grigsby

The iconic McRib pork sandwich is back at McDonald’s for a limited time through November 20, 2022.

Free McDonalds Crispy Chicken Sandwich

February 22, 2021 By Dayton Most Metro

McDonald’s is set to rollout a trio of new chicken sandwiches this February: the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Deluxe Chicken Sandwich. Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA added that the new sandwich would “jump-start our chicken journey,” suggesting more chicken products to come. McDonald’s launched Spicy Chicken McNuggets this past fall, its first new McNugget flavor in the United States since the item was introduced to the US menu in 1983. Popeyes, which saw its new sandwich offering sell out just two weeks after it launched nationally in August 2019, has pointed to the sandwich as one reason that it continued to grow during the pandemic. Chick-fil-A, known for its line of chicken sandwiches, has been growing steadily for years.

All three McDonald’s sandwiches will offer a new fillet of all-white meat chicken and a novel crispy breading. The Crispy Chicken Sandwich serves as a simpler option with the fillet and pickles while the Deluxe Chicken Sandwich arrives with the additional lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise. Meanwhile, those with a more adventurous palate can opt for the Spicy Chicken Sandwich with crinkle cut pickles and spicy pepper sauce.

“We’ve heard our customers loud and clear, and we know they’re craving more chicken options,” McDonald’s VP, Innovation Linda VanGosen said in a statement. “We’re confident all chicken fans – from traditionalists to spice enthusiasts – will discover a new menu favorite they’ll come back for time and time again.”

McDonald’s Crispy Chicken, Spicy Chicken and Deluxe Chicken Sandwiches will be available starting February 24.

On Thursday, Feb. 25 starting at 5pm, McDonald’s is offering the first 100 cars in the Drive-Thru a FREE new Crispy Chicken Sandwich, no purchase necessary! One sandwich per car, available while supplies last.

The McRib is Coming Back

October 30, 2020 By Lisa Grigsby

I’ve never understood the fascination with this pork sandwich that McDonald’s seems to roll out about once a year for a limited time. If it was all that great, wouldn’t the add it to the menu?

But for those of you that are fans, mark your calendar for December 2nd when this fan-favorite returns. Not familiar? It’s seasoned boneless pork, swimming in a smoky, tangy barbecue sauce. It’s then topped with slivered onions and tart pickles on the bun to round out the flavor profile.

The McRib has been a beloved menu item at McDonald’s since its inception nearly 40 years ago,” Linda VanGosen, vice president of menu innovation, said in a statement. “There’s nothing quite like the taste of the McRib. To our customers, it’s become more than a delicious, saucy moment … It’s a season, and it’s taking the internet by storm. That’s why this year, we’re proud to serve the McRib nationwide for everyone to enjoy.”

The Countdown is On For the Return of Shamrock Shakes!

February 6, 2020 By Dayton Most Metro

McDonald’s has announced that Shamrock Shakes will be back in stores on February 19th.

The shake, which was invented by McDonald’s franchise owner Hal Rosen in 1967, was first launched at select restaurants in 1970, so this marks the minty drink’s 50th anniversary. Interesting fact, initially, the shake was lemon/lime flavored with vanilla ice cream, lemon/lime sherbet, and vanilla syrup. By 1973, the shake was merely a green colored vanilla shake, eliminating the lemon/lime sherbet. It is now mint flavored. In 1974, sales from the popular seasonal drink helped build the very first Ronald McDonald House, which helps families with children who need medical care. .25 cent from every sale supports Ronald McDonald House Charities of Dayton

McDonald’s has also revealed a new menu item, the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry, will debut on the same day as Shamrock Shake’s return to McDonald’s menus. This new dessert consists of vanilla soft serve blended with Shamrock flavor and Oreo cookie pieces. How good does that sound?

“We’re excited to serve up a new way to experience the one-of-a-kind Shamrock flavor in our new Oreo Shamrock McFlurry,” Linda VanGosen, McDonald’s vice president of menu innovation, said in a press release. “Our chefs worked to get the perfect balance of Oreo cookies and mint for this new delicious dessert. We can’t wait for customers to get a taste this spring.”

Like every year, these items are only available for a limited time.

Both burgers will come with three slices of bacon each while the Cheesy Bacon Fries will come with bacon bits.

Shamrock Shakes Are Here- With Four New Options!

February 7, 2017 By Lisa Grigsby

They make their appearance every February, and for millions of Shamrock Shake Fanatics these minty, greet sweet treats are the first sign of spring.

The first Shamrock Shake debuted in 1970 as the St. Patrick’s Day Shake. In 1974, proceeds from the beverage’s sale helped to fund the first Ronald McDonald’s House in Philadelphia. That city is currently the nation’s leader in Shamrock Shake sales.

This year McDonald’s has upped the ante, offering 5 different Shamrock options available starting today (Feb 7th) through St Patricks’s day:

Shamrock Shake: vanilla soft serve, mint syrup, whipped topping, but this year it may come with a sprinkle of granulated green sugar and a cherry.

Chocolate Shamrock Shake: half a chocolate shake (on the bottom) and half a Shamrock Shake layered on top.

Shamrock Chocolate Chip Frappé: mocha frappe with whipped topping, green sugar and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Shamrock Hot Chocolate: a blend of milk and chocolate syrup, but with the addition of mint syrup, too.

Shamrock Mocha: similar to the Hot Chocolate, but comes up with a shot espresso.

McDonald’s is on a journey to be better and part of that journey is a commitment to evolving our food and beverage offerings,” Jeanette DeBartolo, a McDonald’s spokeswoman shared. “McDonald’s changes have touched our food and restaurant experience to better meet the changing needs of our customers.”

Fast Food’s 5 Monster Burgers

September 7, 2016 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

The Super Big Boy from Frisch’s is the Best

Food Adventures leaves no plate unturned. We eat it all and have no rules. Sure, most of our stories highlight locally owned eateries with food that we have fallen in love with. From time to time we will go off track and do our tongue in cheek take on chain restaurants, or in this case the dreaded “fast food chains”

Fast food is a guilty pleasure for many, and a way to grab a quick bite in a pinch…. even these chains go crazy touting deals or big specials. Today, we go all out and try some of their biggest creations and we don’t count a calorie. These are the “Monsters of the Meatway” if you will. These are the “Big Daddys of the burger industry,” and we aren’t afraid to rank ’em in order. They are the always huge, sometimes sloppy, sandwiches that will never have you asking “where’s the beef?’

Sit back, loosen your belt, and indulge on these must eats. Food

The Double Whopper from Burger King is a good one

Adventures presents the jaw dropping, must eat, top 5 “monster” burgers of the fast food industry:

FAST FOOD’S 5 MONSTER BURGERS:

1) “THE SUPER BIG BOY” at FRISCH’S RESTAURANTS:
The supersized version of the American favorite “Big Boy” burger. This one has the same amount of cheese, but 2 bigger patties, more lettuce and most imporantly, more of that unbelievable Frisch’s tartar sauce. It is a 1/2 pound of beef on the signature double decker bun, and it aims to please. It does just that and makes the grade as our #1 pick!

The Triple Cheeseburger from Wendy’s

2) “THE DOUBLE WHOPPER SANDWICH” from BURGER KING:
Another giant version of a popular burger, the flame broiled “double whopper” is a very filling sandwich. Over the year’s the regular whopper has been shrinking in size. This burger is a push back towards yesteryear. The hearty, sesame seed bun finally gets challenged and does the job, strongly holding the lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, cheese and mayo together. The secret to this sandwich is the griled taste that is unmatched in the fast food world.

3) “DAVE’S TRIPLE CHEESEBURGER” at WENDY’S:
Not one, not two, but THREE patties, each one weighing a quarter of a pound make up this masterpiece. This “brick of beef” is packed with cheese and loaded with lettuce, tomato, mayo, pickles, ketchup, and onion. The soft bun holds this massive monster together. This sandwich is bursting with flavor but is not for the squeamish, as it has the most amount of meat in our list.

4) “THE BIG BUFORD” from RALLY’S:

The Big Buford from Rally’s

Two “seasoned and seared” beef patties on a bun with all the fixins. That means cheese, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and onions served on a premium, sesame seed bun. Grab a napkin, this fast food freakshow likes to drip condiments on your hands and shirt. Probably the most bang for your buck on the list, as Rally’s is known for good prices. It is a Food Adventure on a bun.

5) “THE 2/3rd POUND MONSTER THICKBURGER with CHEESE” from HARDEE’S:
We were surprised to find out this burger had the word “monster” in its name. It must be fate, so it rounds out our list. This is the only “bacon burger” on our list. It features two 1/3 lb. charbroiled 100% Black Angus beef patties, 4 strips of bacon, 3 slices of American cheese and mayonnaise. The bun is heralded as “fresh baked.” It doesn’t matter though because the lack of condiments on this one makes the burger pretty much uneatable. This sandwich is just all meat, no toppings. Pretty gross unless you are a pure carnivore.

Hardee’s Monster Thickburger – just gross…

There you have it. The “plumpest patties on a bun,” the “biggest boys of the drive thru” ranked in order.

How did we do? Did we nail it, or did we leave out one of the gargantuan bundles of meat on a bun?

Give us your feedback and remember this list was for FAST FOOD chains only ….

Zesty Ranch Early Favorite for McDonald’s Shakin’ Flavor

June 10, 2015 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

Chipotle BBQ Dusted McNuggets. Dip them in BBQ sauce

The feedback is in from the Shakin’ Flavor event at the Wilmington Pike McDonald’s last Monday. The VIP guests at the Food Adventure were given Mcdonald’s swag and asked to test the flavors for themselves. We found patrons loved all three flavors CHIPOTLE BBQ, GARLIC PARMESAN, and ZESTY RANCH. It seemed the favorite this night was Zesty Ranch.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fast Food executives have long known that the Dayton area is much more inclined to give new fast food products an initial try. Much more than the conservative tastebuds of Cincinnati or even Columbus. That is why in Dayton, we see many test products here before they go national. In other words, Dayton is an open minded, foodie town full of feed back (applaud yourselves).

HERE’S THE SKINNY on SHAKIN’ FLAVORS:

— McDonald’s new Shakin’ Flavor product is a free packet of seasonings that will be an option with any Chicken McNugget order or large French Fry order. Your choice of flavor is CHIPOTLE BBQ, GARLIC PARMESAN, or ZESTY RANCH

— A extra “shakin” bag is given to the customer and a powdered packet, and the rest is simple. Dump the fries or McNuggets into the bag, and then the seasoning. Close the bag and shake it like a pom-pom. The result is pretty evenly seasoned fries or nuggets. For more even results, after shaking, we suggest laying the bag flat and tearing open rather than dumping the food out of the bag.

This is a great distraction for kids. Hungry Jax found her children caught up in the excitement, and loved it as much as the yogurt in the kid’s meal.

Kids love the new Shakin Flavors and love to “Shake it Up”

The Big Ragu loved the Chipotle BBQ and Garlic Parmesan. It brought a new dimension to the nuggets and fries

MUST EATS:

Experiment with your own tastes, but we found a couple faves’ you gotta try.

— CHIPOTLE BBQ NUGGETS DIPPED IN BBQ SAUCE

— ZESTY RANCH FRENCH FRIES

— GARLIC PARMESAN NUGGETS DIPPED IN RANCH SAUCE

Get to select Golden Arches and shake things up. Not every McDonald’s has them, but they are worth a try. They bake ’em, you shake ’em, your flavor, make sure you savor !

Peace out to Ronald McDonald and the crew for their hospitality and the revolving videos showing how nuggets and burgers are made.

They’re Back….Shamrock Shakes!

February 24, 2015 By Lisa Grigsby

After this amount of snowfall, you’re probably not interested in hearing about anything else frosty heading your way. But before you run for your shovels, know this one comes with a straw. Yes, McDonald’s has brought back the brightly colored green Shamrock Shake! Which also means March, and warmer weather, is drawing nearer.

Much like the beloved McRib, devoted fans often look forward to the return of this seasonal drink, which stays on menus until a week after St. Patrick’s Day. The shake — low-fat vanilla ice cream and mint flavoring — leaves more of a legacy than just a green tongue. It was first introduced in 1970 as the “St. Patrick’s Day Green Milkshake.”

Some of us might remember seeing commercials in the late ’70s when the shake was touted by O’Grimacey, a big, green, amorphous Golden Arches mascot who sported an Irish accent and visited his nephew in McDonaldland every year for St. Paddy’s Day.

Obviously that name wasn’t catchy enough and was scrapped years later for the more alliterative Shamrock Shake. But the beginnings of the Shamrock Shake are a bigger part of McDonald’s history than you might know.

In 1974, after years of watching his 3-year-old daughter undergo treatment for leukemia and effectively living at St. Christopher’s Hospital For Children, Philadelphia Eagles player Fred Hill thought there should be a better way. He reached out to the community to raise money for families that couldn’t afford hotel rooms while their sick children were being treated. The Eagles’ GM connected with a local McDonald’s ad agency and the restaurant’s regional manager, and together they created the St. Patrick’s Day Green Milkshake promotion

It was perfect: The milkshakes were green – the Eagles’ color! With the support of McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc and regional manager Ed Rensi, Tuckerman launched a week-long promotion around the Shamrock Shake, with all profits to be donated to the cause.

Proceeds from the seasonal promotion sales went to purchase a four-story, seven-bedroom house Evans had found near the hospital in Philadelphia, a “home away from home” for families dealing with a sick child.

This became the very first Ronald McDonald House.

Now that’s a reason to celebrate the return of the Shamrock Shake!
