In yet another attempt to revamp their image, McDonalds has introduced new high-end burgers in select stores in the United Kingdom. 

You even have several options amount the gourmet burgers including classic, BBQ and spicy. McDonalds has described them as being premium cuts of beef and thicker than a normal McDonald’s burger. 

When McDonalds did something similar in Ireland, they went as far as calling their burgers artisan. A fact that annoyed Antony Bourdain, just a tad bit. On the other hand, these burgers are meant to rival local casual competition.
