In Laguna Niguel, CA and Romeoville, IL, McDonald’s is testing a brand-new strategy: allowing customers to design custom-built Quarter Pounders using an iPad. According to Nancy Luna, food reporter at the Orange County Register , there are more than 20 different toppings and sauces to choose from, ranging from the standard condiments and veggies, to new items like creamy garlic sauce and guacamole. The cost is $5.79 (or $6.79 with bacon).
McDonald’s testing custom built quarter pounders
All burgers start with a quarter-pound patty that’s “char-grilled to order”, according to a McDonald’s rep. Though, judging by the slideshow , which doesn’t show any temperature options, “to order” means “when you order it” not “to your requested temperature”. You can also double the meat or add bacon. Here’s a run-down of all the options for toppings:
Bread: buttered toasted bakery-style bun or buttered toasted artisan roll
Cheese: white cheddar, pepperjack, or American
Toppings: guacamole, jalapeño, grilled mushrooms, sliced red onions, caramelized grilled onions, chili lime tortilla strips, tomato, leaf lettuce, crinkle-cut pickles
Sauces: spicy mayo, Mac sauce, creamy garlic sauce, sweet BBQ, mayo, ketchup, mustard
