McDonald’s Just Added Global Favorites You Won’t Find At Most U.S. Locations

Since 2018, McDonald’s has been giving Americans a taste of its international menu at its Chicago headquarters, where a rotating selection of global favorites offers a glimpse of what the Golden Arches serves around the world.

With restaurants in more than 100 countries, McDonald’s has plenty of menu items we’ve never had the chance to try stateside. Fortunately, if you’re near 1035 W. Randolph Street in Chicago, you can sample a few without booking an international flight.

The latest Global Favorites lineup features five items from Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan, and Malaysia. Here’s what’s on the menu:

• Mushroom Deluxe McCrispy (Costa Rica): A crispy chicken filet topped with mushrooms, Swiss cheese, mayo, crispy onions, and garlic.
• McDouble Chili Cheese (Germany): Two beef patties, cheese, creamy chili-cheese sauce, and fiery jalapeños.
• Spicy Garlic Black Pepper McNuggets (Japan): Chicken McNuggets with crispy garlic-and-black-pepper breading.
• Twister Fries (Malaysia): McDonald’s take on curly fries.
• Strawberry Cheesecake McFlurry (Canada): Vanilla soft serve swirled with strawberry sauce, real strawberry pieces, and cheesecake-flavored cookie dough pieces.

Curious about what McDonald’s is cooking up overseas? The Chicago location offers a chance to taste a few international favorites without getting your passport stamped.

Just don’t wait too long. McDonald’s rotates its Global Favorites menu regularly, so there’s no telling how long these items will stick around.

Personally, we’ve got our eyes on Germany’s McDouble Chili Cheese and Canada’s Strawberry Cheesecake McFlurry. A little international diplomacy between lunch and dessert.
