The latest review on my blog is the Alfredo Chicken Burger from McDonald's Taiwan. Sounded promising, but the execution failed it.

Chicken and waffles is excellent so this isn't far off from it. BTW, sometimes things that doesn't sound like they go together usually do

I like chicken, and I don't mind waffles, but I certainly don't want them together.

No wonder obesity levels rise when people feel they have to have some kind of sweetened pancake as bread on a chicken sandwich.

I was in Copenhagen last weekend and at one point was really thirsty. I saw a McDonalds and went in to get a soda and figured I had to try something while I was there:



The Grovburger was pretty good, especially on a weekend where I was eating a ton of seafood.

The McLobster is still around (although it is only seasonal). In Maine, they call it a "Lobster Sandwich" (boring...) but in the Martimes, we tell it like it is and call it a McLobster (or McHomard en francais). I've actually seen tourists posing for photos beside the advertising posters! I agree that there are better lobster rolls, but for the price, they are pretty reasonable. I seldom eat at McDonalds but make an exception for these.

So what's a Grovburger? Your photo is too distant and fuzzy to tell me what's on the menu at a McDonald's in Copenhagen.

Looks like 'Grilled Chicken' from the full-size photo. Is there something particularly Danish about it?

Sorry I was trying to take it on the sly, I've had employees get mad at me for taking pictures of their boards before. If you can read Danish, this page seems to describe the burger

I don't read Danish, but google translate has a bit of fun with it:

There will be from Thursday, August 18, 2011 more choices at McDonald's, which expands the menu with two burgers in a brand new whole grain bun. The introduction of the coarse wholemeal buns happens to meet Danish 'call for more variety on the menu. The two burgers are coarser versions of popular classics McFeast and McChicken, now available with a hearty whole grain bun instead of the classic burger bun.

"We are proud of our new burgers, and we hope that the Danes will go really well against them . Together with our other new products such as wraps and the two new salads are thus better opportunities than ever before to eat coarse and vegetables at McDonald's, "says Joachim Knudsen, director of marketing for McDonald's Denmark.

the new burgers called GrovFeast and coarse Chicken and apart from the coarser bun identical to two of the Danish population's favorite burgers, McFeast and McChicken.

the launch of gross buns is a continuation of that during the summer has come three wraps and two new salads at McDonald's menu. This gives the restaurant at the time, had a wider range of green and coarse offer.

In addition to regular customers now have even more options for putting together a balanced meal, so turning the new products also to those who have not been interested in the traditional menu, says marketing director.

"We hope that the new variants may serve as an open invitation to some of those who sometimes want something other than a traditional burger. I'm sure they will be pleasantly surprised by our various new opportunities, "says Joachim Knudsen.

the ability to eat rough and green are combined with classic McDonald's virtues as high food quality and hygiene, high availability and fast operation.

the two new gross burgers are on the menu at the country's 83 McDonald's restaurants from Aug. 18.

San Diego, it's the big mac sauce with Sriracha added to it. It was good with a kick. I was told that Canada has it also.

I saw today that in the South Florida market they introduced the Big Mac Jr. and the Grand Mac. They both use larger patties than the original Big Mac (1/6 lb. vs 1/10 lb.) along with the original ingredients. I guess McD's has added another sized meat patty to their mix or the 1/4 lb. patty may be no more?

I tried the Mac Jr. today, and it seemed a little dry. They put sauce on both the top and bottom bun. From the bottom up-Bun heel, Mac Sauce, Cheese, 1/6 lb. meat patty (before cooking), reconstituted onions, pickles, shredded lettuce, Mac Sauce and Bun Crown. The lettuce seemed overwhelming and half of it ended on my lap after opening the wrapper. (I was eating in my car while plane watching at MIA)

I had suggested numerous times when I worked for them in the 80's and 90's, as well as a consumer after that, that they should try a "Super Mac" with 2 1/4 lb. patties instead of the smaller patties as the people who wanted more beef would probably like it (like me) without having to change much to the kitchen set-up. (This was also around the time of Wendy's "Where's the Beef?" campaign.) It could have been priced pointed above the Double QPC.
