McDonald’s Global Favorites menu has introduced 5 international specialties at the chain’s headquarters restaurant in Chicago. The selection features burgers, seasoned chicken nuggets, curly fries, and a Canadian dessert unavailable at most American locations, as reported by customreceipt.com.
The latest offerings bring together recipes from Costa Rica, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, and Canada. Unlike a nationwide product launch, these dishes are served at just 1 Chicago restaurant.
What’s on the New McDonald’s Global Favorites Menu?
The new selection includes 2 sandwiches with noticeably different flavors.
Costa Rica’s Mushroom Deluxe McCrispy combines crispy chicken with cooked mushrooms, Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, and crunchy onions.
Germany’s Chili Cheese McDouble takes a spicier approach. It adds pickled jalapeños and hot chili cheese sauce to the familiar beef burger.
According to Delish, the international lineup also includes 3 additional specialties.
| Menu Item | Country | Main Features |
|---|---|---|
| Mushroom Deluxe McCrispy | Costa Rica | Chicken, mushrooms, Swiss cheese |
| Chili Cheese McDouble | Germany | Beef, jalapeños, chili cheese sauce |
| Spicy Garlic Black Pepper McNuggets | Japan | Chicken nuggets with spicy seasoning |
| Twister Fries | Malaysia | Curly-cut French fries |
| Strawberry Cheesecake McFlurry | Canada | Strawberry cheesecake-inspired frozen dessert |
The Japanese McNuggets stand out because their garlic and black pepper seasoning changes the familiar flavor.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Twister Fries offer an alternative to McDonald’s traditional straight-cut fries. Canada’s Strawberry Cheesecake McFlurry completes the international meal.
Where Can You Try McDonald’s International Menu in Chicago?
The special menu is available at 1035 W. Randolph Street, Chicago, inside the company’s headquarters complex.
McDonald’s opened this unusual restaurant in 2018. Its rotating international selection allows American customers to sample overseas products without traveling abroad.
The company’s original announcement described the restaurant as a showcase for global menu innovations.
However, visitors should remember 2 details:
- The Global Favorites selection changes regularly.
- These international products are not part of the standard nationwide McDonald’s menu.
The restaurant has already attracted considerable attention online. Some customers have expressed enthusiasm for the unusual flavors and frustration over their limited availability.
The latest additions offer another reason to visit Chicago’s West Loop. Anyone planning a trip should check the current selection before arriving, since individual dishes may disappear during the next rotation.
