I am sharing this review and giveaway on behalf of locally owned McDonald’s. This giveaway is open to all U.S. residents.
Update: Winners have been notified via email. They have 48 hours to respond, or alternates will be selected.
I’ve been working on my physical fitness for the past six months, so I’ve been on a strict food and exercise regimen. However, when I got the opportunity to try out McDonalds’ new Fresh Beef Quarter Pounder during an event locally, I had to take them up on their offer. I hardly ever eat burgers anymore, but this was a much needed treat.
McDonald’s is playing no games. They have been listening to its customers and critics, and are working to create even more tastier and healthier menu items that the whole family can enjoy. One way they are doing this is with their new Fresh Beef initiative. They have rolled out a 100% fresh beef quarter-pound burgers which is the latest step in their commitment to build a better McDonald’s.
Now when ordering a Quarter Pounder, the beef is not frozen and prepared fresh and made-to-order. They’ve rolled this out in St. Louis and many other cities across the U.S. In the future, more menu items will be prepared this way as well.
We took a tour of the kitchen and saw the process of how they make the Fresh Beef Quarter Pounder burgers, then were able to taste them for ourselves after using the kiosks to place our order.
The result is a fresher, juicier, and dare I say tastier burger experience that rivals a high-end gourmet burger you may find in a hoity-toity eatery. You can taste the difference right away—as a former consumer of the Quarter Pounder on a regular basis, this fresh beef incarnate is a huge step up.
I won’t be able to eat these often, but on my cheat day, I will be indulging.
Wanna try one for yourself? I am giving away three (3) McDonald’s gift cards worth $20 each, so that you can taste the difference for yourself. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only, and to enter, simply leave a comment below letting me know what you think of the Fresh Beef Quarter Pounder burgers. Easy enough?
Three (3) winners will be selected at random and contacted via the email address used in the comment left. Winners have 24 hours to respond or another winner will be selected. Void where prohibited. No purchase necessary. The giveaway ends June 15th at 7pm CST.

I’ve actually never had a Quarter Pounder before but I think it’s great that McDonalds is using fresh beef now. They’re definitely going to give these other restaurants a run for their money. I’d love to check the sandwich out along with the other new menu options they’ve been adding.
