McDonald's Is Testing Garlic Fries Menu in Northern California

McDonald’s next menu sensation may be garlic fries—at least for the residents in Northern California, US.

The fast food giants chain can’t keep pace with demand for the Gilroy Garlic Fries it’s testing at four South Bay locations. McDonald’s representatives told SFGATE they will be out of the specialty fries, which are made from locally-sourced garlic, for the next few weeks, according to Time.

“In less than two weeks, our small, four restaurant test of Gilroy Garlic Fries has been a huge success, and we are now experiencing a temporary shortage of supplies,” they said in a statement. “We are excited about how many people have visited our restaurants to try the fries, and we apologize for any inconvenience to our customers.”

It might be a further testament to the tastiness of the fries that McDonald’s ran out of supplies at locations near Gilroy, which is known as the Garlic Capital of the World and hosts the Gilroy Garlic Festival every July.

The garlic fries are another effort on the part of the chain to ramp up its to efforts compete with deals offered by other fast food chains.

In Texas and Ohio, it’s also reportedly testing out smaller and larger Big Macs – called the Mac Jr. and The Grand Mac, respectively.

Additionally, the chain is reportedly planning a new loyalty program, which would customers in many locations one free McCafé drink after the purchase of five.
