McDonald’s Japan American Vintage 1980s Funky BBQ

McDonald’s Japan earlier this year released their new menu series called ‘American Vintage’. The first in the series was the 1950s American Diner, followed by 1970s Soul Food. The last in the American Vintage series is the 1980s themed Funky BBQ. McDonald’s Japan has chosen a BBQ variety from the US with a special smoked flavour from birch and cloves, and made with a blend of 10 different spices and herbs. The 1980s Funky BBQ went on sale at McDonald’s restaurants across Japan on February 18th and will remain on the menu until early March.

The Taste Test 

Japan Australia having tried all the others in the American Vintage series just had to complete the holy trinity and we weren’t disappointed. We picked up a Funky BBQ Beef Burger and it was the best of the lot in our humble opinion. It came with two beef patties, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and a slab of bacon. The sweet BBQ sauce went well with the slightly sweet and spicy mustard relish sauce on top of the burger. It was good also to have pickles back again on a burger.
