The new burger is part of a new selection of international McDonald's menu items that are currently available at the Chicago HQ.
The 1955 Burger is essentially a recreation of the original McDonald's burger from 1955. The burger is regularly available in parts of Europe such as Germany. The burger itself starts with a glazed sesame seed bun topped with a beef patty, ketchup, grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and a special 1955 sauce. The result is a classic burger that captures the original McDonald's taste.
