The Staggering Number Of Big Macs That McDonald's Sells In A Year
McDonald's is easily one of the biggest fast-food chains in the world, not to mention one of the most recognizable brands. With more than 44,000 locations currently operating worldwide, it's no wonder McDonald's goes through a ridiculous amount of beef every year — 714 million pounds in 2023, to be exact (via McDonald's). Much of that meat goes toward producing one of the chain's most famous menu items, the Big Mac, which remains a top-selling item.

This Fast-Casual Mexican Chain Wins Fans With Its Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients
One of the biggest concerns when it comes to eating out is whether or not the food you're eating is healthy or not, especially when it comes to fast-casual chains. When food is quickly prepped in front of you, this doesn't feel especially promising. Restaurants are notorious for cutting corners to maximize profits and provide reasonably priced menu items for customers, and this often means using cheaper ingredients. Most of us are aware that McDonald's isn't using locally-sourced, grass-fed beef in its patties, but what about a chain like Qdoba Mexican Eats?

An Upgrade For Better Potato Salad? This Classic Italian Sauce
This article recommends replacing mayonnaise with classic Italian pesto to upgrade potato salad. Pesto's creamy texture from oil and basil moisture adheres well to potatoes, adding herby flavor and extra greens. It suggests using low-starch potatoes like red potatoes or Yukon Gold, and pesto can be store-bought (upgraded with olive oil, garlic, pine nuts) or homemade (with customizable herbs, nuts and cheeses); roasting potatoes can also improve the salad's taste.
