When you visit your local McDonald’s, you might notice a new addition to the menu — or if you live in Chicago, two new additions.
The fast food chain has added the Daily Double to its national menu, expanding its value meal offerings.
The new burger is made with two beef patties, American cheese, shredded lettuce, slivered onions, mayo and two slices of tomato.
The Daily Double has been a hit in certain local markets such as Miami, Chicago and Seattle — and now fans can get it all over the country.
According to the Golden Arches, this hearty burger has a whopping 490 calories, 31 grams of total fat, 30 grams of carbs and 22 grams of protein.
The burger might sound similar to classics like the McDouble or Double Cheeseburger because they are, but these two OG sandwiches instead have cheese, pickles, diced onions, ketchup and mustard.
Customers also have the option to add bacon to the McDouble. A small but mighty difference.
The Daily Double will be available at participating McDonald’s restaurants across the US starting July 22 through the end of 2025.
Later this month, the Daily Double will be included as an option in the McValue Meal Deal bundle — which includes a choice of select entrees plus four-piece Chicken McNuggets, small fries and a small soft drink.
This yummy deal is priced at $6 or $7, depending on location.
Customers who frequent the Chicago International McDonald’s restaurant will also be able to order curly fries — a rare menu item only rarely seen in the US.
Since 2018, this Midwest location has been known for featuring different menu items offered at McD’s locations around the world.
On June 27, food Instagram account @snackolator reported the arrival of “Twister Fries at the Chicago location” — but likely only for a few weeks.
“You can now get Twister Fries currently sold in other countries at McDonald’s international restaurant in Chicago (1035 W. Randolph),” the post read. “At this location they rotate a menu every 6 weeks or so and feature items that they’re currently selling outside of the USA.”
People across Europe and Asia have been lovin’ these curly fries for years, and patrons weren’t shy about bragging in the comments.
“I had them in Ireland a few years ago, along with cheese curds!” one person shared.
Recently, fans were flocking to the Midwest McDonald’s for the McAloo Tikki burger — a crispy, spicy potato-and-pea patty topped with tomato and a sweet-tangy tomato mayo.
Meanwhile, McDonald’s is spicing things up this summer with the introduction of new spicy menu items.
Starting July 8, a new flavorsome variation of the Egg McMuffin will be available at participating restaurants for a limited time.
The Spicy McMuffin includes everything fans love about the Egg McMuffin with a shot of McDonald’s signature Spicy Pepper Sauce. Fans can also get the Spicy Sausage McMuffin and the Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg.
They also quietly added the Blueberry & Crème Pie nationwide, a twist on the classic McDonald’s sleeved pie, featuring blueberries and vanilla crème.
