The new burger patty has been in the works at McDonald’s HQ in Chicago for over seven years. Chef Chad Schafer said the chain’s current patties are “kind of dry.”

“We can do it quick, fast, and safe, but it doesn’t necessarily taste great. So, we want to incorporate quality into where we’re at,” said Chris Young, McDonald’s senior director of global menu strategy, per the outlet.

In addition to the patty, other changes are on the way for the chain’s beloved signature burger, the Big Mac.

The Big Mac’s classic sesame seed bun is being swapped for “buttery brioche,” and the burger will get more special sauce for a “meltier” culinary experience, according to the chain.
