McDonald’s has announced that it is moving more toward fresh, rather than frozen, beef patties, fulfilling an idea that first took shape in 2014. This after a test run proved a winner with guests at over 300 locations in Texas and the test expanded to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
That makes sense: the beef can be had practically off the hoof in Texas.
From the abattoir to your table in a matter of hours.
I don’t know how much beef is hoofing around Oklahoma.
This will, of course, cause a clash between those people who want good fresh food and good fast food. The line at the drive-through may slow down a bit if one has to wait for a fresh patty to cook thoroughly, though I can’t imagine how, other than a super hero employee at the cooking station using a laser blaster, a frozen patty would cook more quickly. I don’t time them: I just watch for them to get more gray than pink and stick a thermometer in when necessary.
The folks at “Mickey D’s” will have to come up with some new ideas, but we’ve always loved those arches and embraced the culture. They’re not going anywhere, just upping their game.
