McDonald's Takes Paris

Submitted by Frank, Jul 4, 2007 01:23

Easy to understand. They are providing food that appeals to local people rather than the same old plan developed in America. If you have eaten in a Mcdonalds (or Burger King or any fast food place) in Europe recently, you will not recognize it as the same old food. Surprise!... it actually tastes more like your local mom & pop burger place. Why can't they provide the same savory, quality food here?
