McDonald’s is making its burger to be number one

McDonald’s announced changes to some of its most popular menu items last week, affecting the Big Mac and McDouble, among others.

The fast food giant claims the changes will improve the taste of its top-performing burgers.

The improvements come down to four main changes, according to McDonald’s: better, softer buns, consistently melted cheese, a better browning of the patties and, most simply, more Big Mac sauce.

The chain says it has also started adding white onions to its patties as they burn to improve flavor.

“I will always remember my first burger from McDonald̵[ads1]7;s. And now my culinary team and I have the best job in the world: thinking of ways to bring even more of the iconic McDonald’s taste to fans,” McDonald’s USA senior director of culinary innovation Chad Schafer said in a statement.

“We found that small changes, like fine-tuning our process to be hotter, melting cheese and adjusting the grill settings for a better sear, made a big difference in making our burgers tastier than ever,” he added.

McDonald’s is starting to introduce the burger changes in Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Boise and Tucson.

It says that many shops in the local area will also participate.

American markets are not the first to taste the improved versions of McDonald’s classics.

The chain tested the changes in Australia, Canada and Belgium last year.

McDonald’s hopes to roll out the burger improvements to all stores by 2024.
