GILROY GARLIC FRIES ARE AT MCDONALD’S
I personally made this bunch! I felt so privileged to be able to go into a McDonald’s kitchen and make my own Garlic Fries! I was at a Blogger Event in San Francisco with some fabulous bloggers; I was in AWW who was there! We were brought down to the kitchen in groups, and we were shown how to do it then we all got to take turns. Can’t beat that the fries are made with Gilroy Garlic- the best. We love stopping in Gilroy to buy garlic when we have family from out of state. So now we just need to buy them FRIES…just kidding family (not really).
Now I’m not going to tell you all the secrets, but first, you need HOT FRIES then you put in the goodies: olive oil, crushed garlic, parsley, and parmesan cheese then TOSS IT! It was so funny they said get your hands in there and don’t be afraid! At first, I was gentle but by my second time I tossed those fries to make sure they were mixed good. I made some pretty awesome GARLIC FRIES and brought them back for the family to eat! They loved them, of course!

I also want to tell you that the McDonald’s in Union Square is so COOL! We have never been there before and so this was our first visit, and it won’t be our last!

We walked in, and it was like no other McDonald’s we’ve ever been in before. The colors were vibrant, and the place looked so modern. First thing, that popped into my head was…oh I would love to hang out and work here for a day. My first impression was excitement to see what comes next. We walked in further, and there were couple HUGE SCREENS (like cell phones) that you can order you meal. Then we walked further, and there was a drink station plus an area where you can order from a person.
We wanted to order off the SCREENS. Oh my goodness, so many CHOICES! I can customize how I want my meal. I’m the ULTIMATE DECIDER. It was super easy to order, and I love that I can SEE what I order so if it’s wrong, then I know who to blame!

See…now why wouldn’t you want to try this Mcdonalds! I can order just the way I want it- FOR REAL! Now when I got my meal, that is when I was blown away. My burger looked like I ordered at a fancy diner~ Just Amazing!
Now for the taste…didn’t even taste like a Mcdonalds burger! Usually, the burgers are a bit on the dry side, and I’m not calling out just Mcdonalds, it is almost every fast food restaurant. But OH MY GOODNESS the burger was the best tasting burger I’ve had in a very long time. I even made my husband try it so make sure I was correct. My husband had a chicken sandwich, and it was so juicy! My daughter, she had a Happy Meal that she loved it too. We walked out of there with visions of coming back!
I was just in AWE of how cool this McDonalds is and its local. We will be back every time we come to San Francisco.
Now we couldn’t forget the BEST PART….ICE CREAM!
We had a wonderful time at this blogging event (thank you Lynda from Mixed Blessing Blog for the invite!). Thank YOU McDonald’s in Union Square for working with all the wonderful bloggers plus teaching us how to make GARLIC FRIES!
