Did you know McDonald's has an Executive Chef???

I never knew until I started doing this blog that McDonald's has an Executive Chef.  That's right, an Executive Chef trained in the culinary arts!!!  He is Chef Dan Coudreaut and he was schooled at the Culinary Institute of America and was once a chef at the Four Seasons.  He is now the Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Innovation at McDonald's.  He has been with Mickey D's since 2004.  Attached is a link with some question and answers from Chef Dan.

His tasty innovations at reasonable prices is part of the reason the stock price has been doing so well of late.  MCD closed today at $74.64 down from yesterday -$0.49 (or -0.65%).  However, Chef Dan may need to come up with a new recipe if this negative trend continues for the long-term.
