I'm at McDonald's GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS -- where they offer menu items from around the world. Every 6 months, they change which countries they represent.

in Romania in every McDonald's you can order via phone app and receive the meal at the table

I lived in Chicago, and didn't even know this place existed. To be fair, Chicago has tons of good restaurants. No one thinks of McDonald's when they visit. Too much good local cuisine to take in. Next time I visit, I'm definitely gonna check this out for curiosity sake. I haven't been to a McDonald's in years, but this looks interesting.

[@leetaylor5954]

We have the homestyle chicken in the UK as well! You can also order to your table over here as well. One thing I’m disappointed in though is the plastic on top of the McFlurry, they changed that here to the same as the rest of the cup so it’s recyclable

I didn't even know where the McDonald's HQ is, until I watched this. The problem of not putting efforts to know the background/history of foods I am eating, since I only go to restaurants to satisfy my tummy 😂 Anyways, here in Malaysia we call McDonald's as "McD" (Pronounce as Macdee). Really amazed by McDonald's, prioritizing each countries' tastes and preferences espcially in Muslim countries where McDonald's restaurants are certified halal.
