McDonald’s Brings Five International Favorites to Chicago HQ

McDonald’s is serving five international menu items at its Chicago headquarters restaurant, including Australian onion rings and a Canadian hot honey chicken sandwich. The limited-time Global Favorites menu is not available at ordinary U.S. locations.

The lineup also includes a salted caramel Oreo McFlurry and dipped cone from South Korea, plus dulce de leche McPops from Chile. The menu is expected to run through mid-November, according to reports on the restaurant’s current offerings.

The Chicago restaurant is at 1035 W. Randolph St. and is open to the public. McDonald’s describes its headquarters restaurant as having a rotating menu of items from around the world alongside standard favorites.

That rotation gives customers a chance to try products associated with other countries without traveling abroad. It also gives McDonald’s a place to showcase how its menu varies by market, though the company has not announced that these items will reach U.S. restaurants more broadly.

The selection includes both savory and sweet options. The onion rings offer a change from the fries most U.S. customers associate with the chain, while McPops are small filled pastries.

The menu’s short run makes timing important for visitors. McDonald’s has not announced a nationwide rollout, and the Chicago location remains the sole confirmed U.S. destination for this collection.

The company has used its headquarters restaurant for rotating international items before. McDonald’s says the menu changes over time, so customers should check what is being served before making a special trip.
