McDonald’s is giving its iconic Quarter Pounder a little upgrade this summer with the debut of the new Creamy Parmesan & Bacon Quarter Pounder. The catch is that this tasty new burger is only being served in Canada.
The new Creamy Parmesan & Bacon Quarter Pounder consists of a quarter-pound 100% Canadian beef patty topped with a creamy parmesan and black pepper sauce, as well as hickory-smoked bacon, pickles, crispy onions, ketchup, mustard, and two slices of processed cheddar cheese, all served on a toasted sesame seed bun. There's also the option to double up and get a second quarter-pound beef patty on your burger.
The new Creamy Parmesan & Bacon Quarter Pounder is available now from participating McDonald’s locations across Canada, but only for a limited time.
