The melted cheese will be richer and more gooey. The onions will be juicier, more caramelized, and fresher from grill to patty. These changes and more will be seen in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/secrets-mcdonalds-employees-wont-tell-you\/\">McDonald's<\/a> burgers.\r\n\r\nThe restaurant chain announced upgrades to its signature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/bestselling-mcdonalds-items\/\">menu items<\/a> this week. McDonald's will also bring back its iconic Hamburglar character in its newest TV commercial. As the company said about its new burgers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/mcdonalds-usa-is-serving-up-its-hottest-juiciest-and-tastiest-burgers-yet-301798141.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a statement<\/a>: \"They're so delicious... they've drawn the Hamburglar back into a life of burger crime.\"\r\n<h2>How Is McDonald's Upgrading Its Burgers?<\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1875710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Getty-1244662761-Resize-Recolor-DH-TOH-Mcdonalds-Burgers-Get-Upgrade-2023.jpg?fit=700,467\" alt=\"A tray with Big Mac, french fries and Coca-Cola is seen on a table in this illustration photo taken in McDonald's restaurant in Krakow, Poland\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\r\n\r\nMcDonald's is implementing changes to the buns, cheese, grilled onions and Big Mac sauce to their hamburgers, cheeseburgers, double cheeseburgers, McDoubles and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/things-never-knew-mcdonalds-big-mac\/\">Big Mac<\/a>. \"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,\" said Chad Schafer, senior director of culinary innovation at McDonald's USA.\r\n\r\nThese changes follow significant improvements from 2018, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mcdonalds-eliminates-artificial-preservatives\/\">McDonald's eliminated artificial preservatives<\/a> in its burgers. At that time, McDonald's announced that all of the ingredients for its burgers (except for a small artificial preservative in the pickle) would be made from natural ingredients. This week's announcement is another step forward in quality. In 2021, McDonald's also replaced its previous chicken sandwiches with its higher-quality Crispy Chicken Sandwich.\r\n<h2>Where Are the Improved Burgers Available?<\/h2>\r\nAfter testing the changes in foreign markets like Australia, Canada and Belgium, the changes can be seen in U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Boise, Tucson and surrounding cities. By 2024, McDonald's is expected to have these improved burgers widely available across its more than 14,000 stores nationwide.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big changes are coming to McDonald&#8217;s signature menu items, as the chain upgrades its

Des Plaines, Illinois. The McDonald's museum is a recreation of the first McDonald's restaurant opened at this location by founder Ray Kroc on April 15, 1955. The original red and white tiled restaurant was finally torn down in 1984 and the present facility was built according to the original blueprints with some modifications to accommodate visitors and staff. The customer service and food preparation areas contain original equipment and the all male crew is represented by mannequins dressed in the 1955 uniform of dark trousers, white shirts, aprons and paper hats. McDonald's will mark their 50th anniversary with an opening of a new restaurant in Chicago.
