McDonald’s, which has been focusing on upgrading its core items to boost sales, is rolling out a series of changes designed to improve its signature burgers.

Buns will be softer. Cheese, gooier. Onion will be added to patties right on the grill. And the Big Mac sauce? There will be more of it.

“We found that small changes, like tweaking our process to get hotter, meltier cheese and adjusting our grill settings for a better sear, added up to a big difference in making our burgers more flavorful than ever,” said chef Chad Schafer, senior director of culinary innovation of McDonald’s USA, in a statement Monday. The upgrades apply to the Big Mac and the McDouble burger as well as the classic cheeseburger, double cheeseburger and hamburger.

The improvements were first made to burgers in international markets, the company said, and have already arrived in some US cities, including Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix, Las Vegas. They’ll be available nationally by early next year.

The changes follow other improvements to key menu items.

If you could just leave the food alone and make the lady at the window be nice to me I'd be happy.

It takes almost a year to ship out new cheese and buns? Maybe it will take that long to train these $20/hour chefs how to increase the griddle temp.

Naw can't handle it without a jump in prices across the board to handle the work stress.

How much research was really needed to figure out you can cook it better and not be stingy with the sauce?

Backyard Burgers has the best hamburger meat out of all of the fast good burger joints simply because you can tell it's real beef.

They're just going to hit em with three more dashes of "grill seasoning" to bump up that MSG.

Real beef is the most important thing. I haven't had a McBurger since the 80s.

At least here in Memphis, McDonald’s is probably closer to Chick Fila than Burger King. Not that service is great but BK is that bad.

If they really want to upgrade them, make them look like their pictures.
