In a totally unprecedented move from the most vilified fast food restaurant in the game, McDonald’s is testing out fresh, never-frozen beef patties at restaurants in Dallas, Texas.

The test is limited to just 14 restaurants, but could turn out to be the biggest potential change to McDonald’s menus in decades.

For the longest time, McDonald’s has used a network of suppliers who make, freeze and ship their beef patties to 14,000 restaurants in the US alone, so obviously there would be a massive change there if this were to roll out globally one day.

A McDonald’s spokesperson said it’s too early to tell whether the test will be expanded, but it could happen.

Is this a legit move or just a PR stunt from old Ronald McDonald? Hard to say. I mean yeah I believe they’re using fresh patties now at these restaurants in Dallas but do they actually have plans to execute this in Maccy D’s around the world? Can’t say I buy it.

But still, anything that gets the words “fresh” and “McDonald’s” into the same conversation is a good move for them. Don’t they say they’re going “healthy” every few months now? Sorry McDonald’s, we’re not falling for it (whoops, just did).
