Talking To Children About Childhood Hunger
I shared with you in my last post how passionate I am about hunger issues here in America especially when it comes to children. Of course, I do my part but it never feels...
Create Your Own Perfect Sandwich at McDonald’s
This post was created in partnership with McDonald's. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Recently my husband and I had a lunch date. We went to McDonald's to try their fun new ordering system which lets you “Create Your Taste.” Participating McDonald's around the country have installed these cool, new machines that let you order your food exactly how you want it. Check it out:
We were very excited to try the juicy Sirloin Third Pound Burgers and put our favorite toppings on them. From the moment we walked into the location, we were greeted by server who asked if she could help us:
Rhonda was so personable and friendly. She explained the system and then asked us if we wanted to try it out. Ordering took just a few minutes while my husband and I each took our turns ordering our lunch. Our server Rhonda assisted us when needed and gave us a pager to take to our table once we paid. She told us that they would be bringing our food out in 8-10 minutes. She also gave us our drink glasses to get our beverages. We never had to go to the counter for anything.
In about 8 minutes, these delicious burgers arrived:
The server delivered our food and asked if we needed anything else. We both asked for ketchup which she had with her.
The third pound sirloin burger was so delicious that my husband (the chef) said that he would most definitely come back to order it again. The meat was cooked perfectly and the burgers looked amazing. My burger was juicy and had every topping that I wanted on it. I loved it.
We also liked the metal containers that they put the fries in. This felt much more like a cafe experience. Servers walked by several times and refilled our drinks as needed. They also took our garbage away when we were finished.
We would definitely return to McDonald's to create our own burgers. This was a fun experience and I have a feeling that my kids would be very excited to try this out!
JOIN THE #MYPERFECTSANDWICH TWITTER PARTY 5/28
Now you can join the McDonald's My Perfect Sandwich Twitter party this Thursday, May 28, 2015 from 8-9 pm EST. There will be a fun conversation and prizes.
I hope my mcdonalds gets one of these soon. It sounds super convenient.
Everything looks so good! The best part is that they have a friendly customer service. I have to check it out and try to make my own sandwich 😀
Well, this is just completely cool! It is definitely not in any of the McDonald’s I’ve been to yet. It’s a great marketing concept. I hope it catches on.
What a wonderful idea! I like McDonald’s already but this make me want to go even more! It looks delicious.
I hope I get to try out that system sometime. The burger you ordered looks so good too!
Yum. I love McDonald’s I don’t eat it often but this looks so food! What a cool option! Hoping we get this soon I’ll have to visit and see!
I love that McDonalds is doing this. Being able to make a meal the way I want is so great!
Wow, that sounds really convenient. This beats Burger King’s motto,”We’ll make it your way.” Which they had years ago.
I don’t usually eat McDonalds. But I do love their salads. I wonder if they would make those custom?
I love McDonalds!! This sandwich looks really good and I can’t wait to try it!!
I’ve heard about this, but I haven’t seen them at my local McDonalds Those french fries look really good. 🙂
This sounds awesome. I never knew you could do that at Mcdonalds. Definitely will do this soon.
Wow! This is amazing. They finally have machines that make me feel like I am back in Japan.
I have no doubt that that is a fun experience. I would love to do it too. And I bet my son who is a big fan of McDonald’s would love to do it as well.
McDonalds are really working hard to make their food healthier and more appetizing aren’t they? I don’t think we have the GoCreate option in the Irish restaurants yet.
My husband and I love McDonalds. That burger looks really good, well so don’t the fries. =)
This would be fantastic. I would love to design my own sandwich at McDonald’s. I am excited for it to come to a location near me.
I would love to have a sandwich like that now. bacon and lettuce just makes a sandwich perfect!
Okay those fries are killing me right now – they look so good! I would love some bacon on my burger right now!
This is an awesome idea and I can’t wait for it to come my way. Create your own burger is great for people like me who don’t like everything on the burgers. The twitter party I missed but I know it had to be fun. Thanks for sharing.
I love their french fries! Otherwise, I don’t eat there since I don’t eat meat. My husband and children love their food, though.
Oh that looks yummy. Must try that very soon. And nothing beats McD’s fries!
That is so awesome! We were just in McDonald’s and didn’t see this. I will have to go back and see if they have it.
Oh wow! That is so cool! I wonder if there are any of those around here… Our McDs is always sort of behind. lol.
That is so cool! I would love to try it out. Something else to love about McDonalds!
Hopefully ours will have these options available. We don’t eat there too often but it is nice to not have to cook or worry about clean up a few nights a month thanks to McDonalds or whoever!
I’ve never seen McDonalds look that good! How cool!
