For the past several years, McDonald's customers and fans have seen a host of changes from the restaurant chain as it has worked to keep up with changing customer tastes and expectations.  While McDonald's guests will still find their old favorite sandwiches on the menu; they will also find a few Signature Crafted™ Recipes on the menu at many locations beginning today. Additionally, McDonald's has created a special "Frork" to accompany these new, premium sandwiches--and select restaurants will be giving away these Fry+Fork utensils while supplies last on May 5th, 2017.  We wanted to share the new New Signature Crafted™ Recipes, give you a look at a Frork--and offer McDonald's fans the opportunity to win a McDonald's Prize Pack filled with swag, coupons--and even a gift card!

The Prize Pack and coupons have been provided by McDonald's for use in this giveaway. 
 
What are the new  New Signature Crafted™ Recipes at McDonald's?  This new menu offering serves up premium style sandwiches that give customers some choices.  Customers choose the protein (from a 1/4 lb. Beef Patty, a Crispy Buttermilk Chicken, or an Artisan Grilled Chicken). They choose either an Artisan roll or a sesame seed bun--and then, they choose the sandwich "recipe":
  • Pico Guacamole: Smooth and creamy meets chunky and spicy with white cheddar cheese, guacamole made with 100% Hass avocados, freshly prepared Pico de Gallo, crisp leaf lettuce and creamy buttermilk ranch sauce made with real buttermilk and sour cream blended with shallots, garlic and spices. Served with a fresh lime wedge. 
  • Sweet BBQ Bacon: Sweet BBQ meets savory, with grilled onions, thick-cut Applewood smoked bacon, creamy white cheddar, delicious BBQ sauce, all topped with golden crispy onions.
  • Maple Bacon Dijon: A satisfying combination of sweet and savory, with grilled onions, thick-cut Applewood smoked bacon with sweet maple seasoning, white cheddar, crisp leaf lettuce and a creamy Dijon sauce.
Along with this new sandwich line, McDonald's has also launched a new way to use those French Fries in its...Frork. 

What is a Frork?  Well..this video may explain it best.
 
On May 5, Frorks will be available at participating restaurants with the purchase of a Signature Crafted™ Recipes sandwich, while supplies last.
  You can find out if your local McDonald's is participating here.

While the Frork may not necessarily be on your most-wanted, kitchen utensil list...the new Signature Crafted™ Recipes may be something you will want to check out!
