McDONALD'S(R) TO CELEBRATE NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY



To celebrate National Hamburger Day on Sunday, December 21, participating McDonald’s customers in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts will be able to enjoy McDonald’s original hamburger for just 59¢. For one day only, customers can order up to four of the classic burger from 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.– at a special price of only 59¢!*

“We’re excited to celebrate National Hamburger Day in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts and give our customers a special-priced hamburger,” says Rachel Deane, local McDonald’s owner/operator and president of the Connecticut and Western Massachusetts McDonald’s Owner/Operator Association. “Hamburgers have been the cornerstone of the McDonald’s menu and a fan favorite for decades so we’re thrilled to celebrate National Hamburger Day!”

Hamburgers have been a staple of the McDonald’s menu since the restaurant’s founding in 1948, when a hamburger was priced at just 15 cents. Since then, the classic burger has seen many iconic transformations such as the Big Mac, the Quarter Pounder, Bacon Clubhouse and McDonald’s newest variation, the Triple Cheeseburger. All McDonald’s hamburgers are made with a juicy 100% beef patty simply seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper, tangy pickles, minced onions, ketchup and mustard.

McDonald’s works closely with its suppliers to ensure all beef patties are made from 100% pure beef. All McDonald’s beef is ground from the trim of cuts like chuck, round and sirloin. Burgers are then formed into patties and flash frozen to seal in the freshest flavor. All of McDonald’s ground beef is USDA-inspected and meets or exceeds USDA standards to deliver the best quality product.
