The true contentment of a meal cooked well is like nothing else. 😊 Today being International Chefs Day, we’re sending a word of deep gratitude to the chefs who inspire us and have us sampling the most interesting meals. (Our moms too!)

We’re so chuffed and proud of our very own Swarup Solgaonkar, Corporate Chef at McDonald’s India (West & South), who wears many hats!

At McDonald’s India, we know Chef Swarup to be bold, meticulous, and passionate when it comes to his art and knowledge of condiments, flavours, sauces, and spices. 👨🏽‍🍳 This contributes to super menu innovations and product development at McDonald’s India… Like the latest McDonald’s Double Patty Burger, BIG YUMMY BURGER!

Taking a cue from our recent customer feedback, Chef Swarup thought BIG… Big, saucy, yummy, and oh-so-fulfilling.  And he ‘delivered’ on these sssSssstacked burgers he developed, that pair premium ingredients with great patties. Wait, that is not all! Donning his on-screen performer hat, Chef Swarup has made his presence felt on screen too, as he has not just starred but aced it in our Big Yummy Burger TVCs. Chef Swarup is a star not just behind the scenes but on screen as well! Take a look, watch the magician, we mean chef, we mean actor, we mean Chef Swarup himself!

The ✨Big Yummy Chicken Burger✨ features a tender flame-grilled chicken patty, paired with a McCrispy® chicken patty, crisp lettuce, jalapeños, and bold chipotle sauce, AND ✨Big Yummy Cheese Burger✨ features a McSpicy™ Paneer Burger patty paired with a McCheese Burger® (Veg) patty, crisp lettuce, and smoky chipotle sauce.

Don’t miss Chef Swarup’s special touches too, like the signature chipotle sauce used in these burgers, that is applied to BOTH the crown and bottom burger buns.

Chef Swarup is all game for applying his craft and expertise, whether it’s serving up a quality burger that ticks all boxes or coming up with something bold like our Piri Piri Spice Mix.

If you didn’t know, the lip-smacking Piri Piri Spice Mix on our menu is thanks to Chef Swarup. His love for the McDonald’s brand and McDonald’s customers shines with his culinary innovations and inventions.

And you can witness that love when he plays the role of a fine storyteller too. Engaging and vivacious, here, Chef Swarup documents our Fries’ journey from the farm to our stores to your plate.

Chef Swarup is also an integral part of our research at McDonald’s – West & South, so whenever there’s a new product on board, he’s part of the sampling and tasting – just like when we were crafting our newest Real Food, Real Good addition – the 100% vegetarian Protein PLUS slice.

There are so many good things to say about Chef Swarup! 🏆

Chef Swarup is a natural in the kitchen, on the field, and with our esteemed guests too – whether it’s Late Urmila Asher, Baa of Gujju Ben na Nasta fame or our Padmi Shri fave, Chef Sanjeev Kapoor. Making anyone feel at ease, Chef Swarup might have an alternative calling – of a film presenter and host! 💛

Chef Swarup put the YUMMY in our Big Yummy Burger, and a GIANT tick-mark in our foodie hearts 🤤

We love a chef who can tell a whole story when you take a bite of their dishes! Cheers to you, Chef Swarup! Don’t forget to use the McDonald’s App, in-store, and the McDelivery® website and McDelivery® App for your online orders, when you order our Big Yummy Chicken Burger (maaaan, THIS Crispy Chicken Double Patty Burger!) and Big Yummy Cheese Burger! We’ll speak soon! Gotta eeeEeeeat! 🍽️
