The American, but not-so-American franchiseI have this thing where I eat at McDonalds in every country I visit; I've been doing it for a few years now. Well, we took it a bit to the extreme on this trip eating there several times a week. You see, McDonalds has done something really epic in Europe. They have launched seasonal specials that last about three weeks in every country based on the country's typical foods. For example, in Switzerland they sold the McFondue for three weeks, then the McRosti, then the McRaclette. In Austria they sold the Oriental burger that was doused in curry sauce, and in France they had my personal favorite the M. Aside from the different food options, they have turned McDonalds into the hip place to be. With it's sheik decor, trendy music, and free internet access, everyone wants to be there. Sure, the prices are a little higher, but in contrast to the United States, McDonalds isn't really a budget restaurant.
