McDonald's to launch gourmet burgers

McDonald's will launch a gourmet burger range with the help of top chefs.

The fast-food restaurant will charge PS4.69, for the extra large patties that will be topped with a fancy brioche bun. The fast-food chain's development director, Duncan Cruttenden, told the Guardian newspaper: "We are committed to listening to our customers and evolving our menu to offer something for everyone.

When the chef council started to develop this new premium offering, we worked with a brief generated by our customers - they told us they wanted thicker beef patties and high-quality ingredients, freshly prepared. We've crafted a range that is a truly exciting permanent addition to our menu - every product has to earn a place and our customers have told us the signature collection has done just that."
