McDonald's Revamps Burger Preparation Process in Major Overhaul

Over 50 changes aim to improve taste and compete with higher-end chains, with full U.S. rollout expected by early 2024.

McDonald's is overhauling its burger preparation process with more than 50 changes, aiming to improve taste and compete with higher-end chains.
The changes include using buttery brioche buns, adding more sauce to Big Macs, making onions juicier and cheese meltier, and grilling patties in smaller batches.
The fast-food giant has been testing these changes in Canada and overseas, and plans to roll them out in all U.S. locations by early 2024.
The new burger preparation process was developed over seven years at McDonald's Chicago headquarters by Chef Chad Schafer.
McDonald's is planning a spring ad campaign to promote the new and improved burgers, which it calls its 'best burgers ever.'
