    Bon appetit, McD’s fans.

    Tommy Winkler, a food influencer on TikTok with more than 10 million followers, visited a Chicago branch of McDonald’s that reportedly sells special menu items that aren’t sold anywhere else in the US. A June 20 post sharing his unique experience and rating each item has over 1.1 million views on the app.

    The most popular fast food chicken sandwiches in America revealed — which one is your state’s favorite?

    “Today, I’m eating from an international McDonald’s,” begins Winkler, AKA The Food Guy, in a recent video. “So, they have menu items from all over the world. Let’s eat!”

    He started his global fast food trek in Spain where they boast a burger called the Grand McExtreme Intense Cheddar, featuring the tangy, orange-hued cheese of English origin. Winkler rated this sandwich an 8.7 out of 10.

    The gustatory globetrotter paired his first burger with a side of McShaker Fries from Finland, dusted with a hot piri-piri seasoning that you “shake” on yourself by tossing the fries and spices together in a McDonald’s bag. Winkler chalked up 7 out of 10 for this Finnish fry dish.

    Next up was a back-to-back round of spicy, fried chicken sandwiches hailing from Asia: the McSpicy Samurai of Thailand is doused in a sweet Teriyaki sauce, while the standard McSpicy from Hong Kong hit all the marks of a typical crispy chicken sandwich with a kick. Winkler gave each an 8 and 8.4 out of 10, respectively.

    For dessert, Winkler picked up Japan’s soft serve ice cream in a waffle cone topped with hot fudge and almonds. He rated the classic to-go treat an 8.6 out of 10. Lastly, he downed a Triple Chocolate Mini Donut, a chocolatey confection dunked in chocolate frosting and garnished with mini chocolate chips. Despite the rich, triple dose of cocoa, Winkler gave this dish just a 5.8 out of 10.

    Winkler isn’t the only foodie to highlight McDonald’s favorite from around the world. Ex-McDonald’s chef Mike Haracz has previously gone viral on TikTok for revealing McD’s trade secrets as well as showcasing some of the best dishes from the restaurant chain’s worldwide convention , hosted earlier this year in Barcelona. In an April TikTok post, Haracz presented three items from abroad: Spain’s patatas bravas (potato wedges), Japan’s spicy garlic McNuggets and Germany’s Biscoff cookie McFlurry.
