Kyiv’s bombed McDonald’s keeps serving as war rages

In Kyiv, Ukraine, the first McDonald’s in the country has been struck at least nine times during the war, yet it remains open. Its walls are scarred by shrapnel and the golden arches melted, but the restaurant continues to operate near a burned-out mall, serving as a rare refuge and a symbol of Western aspirations. Staff and customers keep bustling through daily life, including a 9 a.m. moment of silence to honor war casualties, while the venue nonetheless endures amid ongoing shelling and displacement.

Upgrade Your McChicken: The German-Style Double-Patty Hack

Germany’s McDonald’s offers a Double Chickenburger with two crispy patties, lettuce, and chili sauce, a heartier alternative to the U.S. McChicken. To mimic it in America, order a McChicken with an extra patty and creamy chili sauce on the side (use a spoon to spread the sauce under the bun), and note that this is a ‘secret menu’ style hack—not an official menu item—though similar Double McChicken variants appear in some locations and other countries.

Burger King Gains Ground as McDonald's Struggles With Value

McDonald's growth has cooled while Burger King posts stronger US sales and ongoing investments in store revamps, marketing, and value menus, appealing to inflation-weary diners. Analysts say McDonald’s slower execution of a lower-price strategy and broader economic pressures in a K-shaped economy are helping rivals gain share, with Wendy’s, Chili’s, and even convenience-store chains also benefiting from a shift toward cheaper, higher-value options.
