McDonald’s CEO reveals his favorite menu item

What does the CEO of McDonald’s order when he eats at the Golden Arches?

Thanks to a short video posted to social media last week, now we know.

Chris Kempczinski, who has led McDonald’s since 2019, shared his personal menu favorites in a 45-second “Menu Item Tournament” posted to his LinkedIn and Instagram. In the bracket-style format, he ranked popular menu items until one winner emerged.

First up, Egg McMuffin vs. Big Mac — Kempczinski gave the edge to the McMuffin. But then fries beat both the McCrispy and Filet-O-Fish, only to be knocked out by Chicken McNuggets.

The McNuggets held strong until the soft-serve vanilla cone took the lead. That was Kempczinski’s favorite sweet, even over the chain’s classic Apple Pie.

But in the end, the Quarter Pounder with Cheese nearly stole the crown. Only to be beaten out by a surprising final winner: the Snack Wrap.

“I had a phase of eating lots of these while traveling,” Kempczinski said, echoing what many fans have been saying since the Snack Wrap was discontinued in 2016. Due to high demand, it returned in July 2025, now offered in Spicy or Ranch.

Reactions were swift online, with some cheering the Snack Wrap’s victory and others asking, “Where’s the McGriddle?”
