In an attempt to change how consumers view McDonald’s ingredients, the buger fast-food giant hosted a New York City dinner featuring fancy dishes more upscale than anything found on the in store value menu.
The company invited tons of media and tastemakers to try out a multi-course meal prepared by professional chefs using standard McDonald’s food. Items like slow cooked beef, gnocchi and chicken nuggets made its way through appetizing courses that left diners oooh-ing and ahhh-ing throughout the entire night. McDonald’s Chef Jessica Foust collaborated with nationally-acclaimed chefs, Aaron McCargo, Jr., James Tahhan and Dale Talde, to transform McDonald’s base ingredients into sophisticated dishes, like those on this food blog.

None of the dishes will reach McDonald’s drive-thrus, at least not in the near future. But company spokespeople said the exercise will help engender new ways to think about the existing menu and highlight the chain’s ingredients.
