I admit I haven’t eaten at a McDonald’s in the U.S. in years. But when I was in Orlando, my travelmates found out there was a gourmet one – touted as the “most unique in the world,” so off we went. Walking in, I was immediately a bit blown away by the displays of gourmet [...]

“Mais oui, my friends and I love eating at McDo!” And this was the answer that I did not intuitively expect from the dainty French girl sharing a coffee and pastry sitting across from me at one of Dijon’s most popular cafés. Consumed in my excitement about moving to France, I had apparently forgotten that [...]

Due to high demand, I actually went into the McDonald’s here. I haven’t eaten at one in almost a year (last time didn’t end up too well), even though I love their fries. This was one happy day. Happy Meal it was. The McDonald’s was super nice and clean with upbeat funky dance music playing. [...]
