Not long ago, my son needed some supplies for a school project. It was a busy day and this was something we needed to find quickly.

McDonald’s says it’s switching from frozen beef to fresh in some 14,000 U.S. locations by early May. The company officially rolled out the concept at 3,500 stores today.
