McDonald's says it's testing fresh beef at 14 restaurants in Dallas, but that it's too early to say whether fresh beef could replace its frozen patties nationally.

The Oak Brook, Illinois company says the test is limited to its quarter pounder patties.

"Like all of our tests, this one too is designed to see what works and what doesn't within our restaurants," said Lisa McComb, a McDonald's spokeswoman, in a statement.

McComb said the test began this past November, and is intended to gauge the "operational experience," feedback from workers and prices. She said the restaurants are not currently advertising that the beef is fresh, but asking customers for feedback on the taste.

One wonders if this will go as well as their Bay Area test-marketing of local-style garlic fries. Even though they were only at 4 locations, they completely sold out, despite having parmesan cheese on them along with the garlic!
