Big America Series Back at McDonalds Japan

I am sure that one of the last things most travelers to Japan would want to do is eat at McDonalds… however, the Big America Series might make it worth it. This series is a special limited time only set of burgers inspired by different places in the United States. The Big America 2 series kicks off on January 7th, 2011, and sees the introduction of new and interesting sandwiches.

Featured will be the same burgers, 2.5 times larger than regular burgers, and “uniquely American” themed tastes.

The series starts off this week with the Texas 2 Burger. This burger features grated cheese on the bun, hot chili beans, onions, bacon, and a mustard dressing.

The Idaho Burger (coming soon) also looks good. A burger with a hash brown, onions, a soft bun, bacon, cheese, and a mustard dressing.

The Miami Burger (coming soon) tips a hat to Latin American food. It features cheese, tortilla chips, shredded lettuce, and taco meat with a spicy tomato chili sauce. It sounds like a taco-burger of sorts.

There is also the Manhattan Burger (coming soon) which will feature a large beef patty and pastrami (!!) on a stylish bun, designed to look like a deli sandwich (according to the McDonald’s Japan menu). Also on the burger will be lettuce, onion, and a sour cream sauce.

If you are in Japan, looking for a cheap meal, it might be worth a trip to McDonald’s, not only for the experience, but for some burgers and other foods you wouldn’t otherwise have a chance to try.
