DENVER — Customers in Denver and Colorado Springs will be among the first in the United States to try McDonald’s updated burgers.
McDonald’s announced Monday it will be making "small but tasty improvements" to its Big Mac, McDouble, Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger, and Hamburger.
The updated burgers were introduced in international markets including Australia, Canada, and Belgium and are arriving in the United States this year.
McDonald’s said its already started rolling them out in several cities including Denver and Colorado Springs. Los Angeles, Seattle, Las Vegas and Portland are also among the cities that can already "taste the difference."
All U.S. McDonald’s restaurants will have the updated burgers by 2024.
According to McDonald's, its chefs have been cooking up improvements to the five burgers. The changes include:
- "Softer, pillowy buns that are toasted to a golden brown"
- "Perfectly melted cheese"
- "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."
McDonald’s burgers
“I’ll always remember my first burger from McDonald’s. And now my culinary team and I have the best job in the world: thinking about ways to bring even more of that iconic McDonald’s taste to fans,” said Chef Chad Schafer, Senior Director of Culinary Innovation, at McDonald’s USA.
“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.”
The burger company's new TV advertisement regarding the burger changes features McDonaldland’s resident mischief-maker, the Hamburglar.
