[McDonald’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-arch-burger) is giving its iconic Quarter Pounder a little upgrade this summer with the debut of the new [Creamy Parmesan & Bacon Quarter Pounder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunky-potato-beef-creamy-jalapeno-burger). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donatos-pizza-creamy-parm-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.
