McWorld

mc-world

We’ve always been an advocate of the idea of a Universal McDonald’s in New York.

This argument is super convincing, and they should really put this petition in front of the White House

The Egg White Delight

McDonald’s is about to get all fancy with an egg white Egg McMuffin (egg whites, canadian bacon and white cheddar cheese on a whole grain muffin.)

Zesty Tomato Shake Shake Fries

Only available in Hong Kong... Still pushing for that McDonald’s World concept restaurant.

Kinda Teal Green

The McDonald’s in Sedona, Arizona is the only franchise one of the few in the world without ‘Golden’ arches. Peep these black arches too.

Not A Good Look For McDonald’s

Or humanity for that matter.

An attempted murder in Brooklyn was caught on surveillance video, you can watch it here.

The Sad Reality of a Shamrock Shake

A Delicious Looking Skull

Christopher Chiappa’s sculpture of a skull made out of McDonalds French Fries Skull is just one part of a diptych titled, McMiracles. You can find out more about Chris at Kate Werble Gallery.

New McDonald’s Burgers on Pita, Bagel, and Foccacia

I wonder if McDonald’s thinks America is too stupid to eat these, and that is the reason why we get no exotic burger love?  If not, McDonald’s World is a great idea for a Times Square fast food spot.

McDonald’s CBO

Chicken Bacon Onions.  Sadly, it’s only available in Europe.

Buon Giorno: The McItaly

Artichoke Spread, Asiago Cheese, Lettuce, and Italian Beef on a Ciabatta Roll. When can we get that here?

Apparently, the new sandwich is  leaving a ‘bad taste’ in the mouth of some in Italian circles. Read the full story here and check out a video as well from the BBC.

McDonald’s Big American Burgers

You have to love the vision of Japanese McDonalds.  They have a new series of burgers rolling out under the Big America moniker.  Above is the Texas, and damn does it look good.  After the jump you’ll see the New York, California, and Hawaiian.  I wonder if US McDonald’s realizes how much money they’d be printing if they brought these over stateside?
