Oktoberfest at McDonald’s China

In honor of the upcoming Oktoberfest celebration, McDonald’s China has brought back the German Sausage Double Beef Burger they tested last year. And I finally got to try one…

Two hamburgers and two German sausages slathered with mustard on a bun…

Who needs vegetables?!

No frills.

Beer needed.

I haven't been to a McDonald's in many years...I would go again for one of these.

They brought home a 30" pizza...that's regular dinner plate! The box barely fit through the door without tilting it. #lazymoon #pizza

A very curious juvenile Scrub Jay. They kept coming back to my hat to try to make a meal of the top button. (at Helen And Allan Cruickshank Sanctuary)

Those things love hats...they did the same to my daughter last year.

GAUfest trip day three...things from last night wound down about 2 this morning, then up for breakfast in the hotel. We originally planned to walk to a local cafe for breakfast, but opted for the hotel restaurant due to light rain. #gaufest2017 #gaufest #buffalo #newyork (at Adams Mark Hotel & Events Center)
