Great Tastes of America returns to McDonald’s UK

The Great Tastes of America promotion is back at McDonald’s for a tenth year, with authentic new flavours.

The promo introduces three brand new burgers, the Tennessee Stack, the New York Stack and the Tex Mex Stack. Customers will also see the return of the Spicy Buffalo BBQ Chicken with a new twist. For the first time, customers will be able to choose whether they want to have their Spicy Buffalo BBQ Chicken ‘Hot’ or ‘Extra Hot’.

Steven Howells Head of Food and Beverage Marketing at McDonald’s UK said: “We are delighted to bring Great Tastes of America back to the menu. This year the range has been re-designed with customers in mind to ensure the builds of our burgers are truly representative of America and we think this really comes through with the new big flavours. In addition to this, we’ve introduced one of our hottest sauces yet and we are excited to see what our customers think."

Made with 100% British and Irish beef, each new burger offers a flavour of America from some of its states:

The Tennessee Stack - Featuring a rich Tennessee style BBQ sauce, two beef burgers, Beechwood smoked bacon, grilled onions and smoky cheese in a flour topped bun

The New York Stack – Featuring a sesame and poppy seed topped bagel, two beef burgers, tomato ketchup, mustard, Beechwood smoked bacon, cheese, chunky slaw and pickles
