Yahoo Finance Stop Everything: McDonald's Is Officially Testing Out Garlic Fries
McDonald's is officially mixing up their beloved, world-famous French fries.
According to TIME, the fast food giant is testing out a new menu item called "Gilroy Garlic Fries" at four locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. The delicacy will feature locally grown garlic from "Garlic Capital of the World" Gilroy, California, which is two hours south of the city. Here's the full description from the company's news release:
The new fries are made-to-order in McDonald's kitchens where restaurant employees toss French fries in stainless steel bowls with a purée mix that includes ingredients, such as chopped Gilroy garlic olive oil, parmesan cheese, parsley and a pinch of salt.
The garlic fries are part of a trend at McDonald's to experiment with regional flavors and food on its menu.
If customers respond well to the product, McDonald's will then expand the menu item to more restaurants in the Bay Area this summer. Of course, it'll probably take a while before the garlic fries go nationwide - especially if McDonald's is trying to source their garlic locally - but it already sounds like they'll be well worth the wait.
