Your Right to Know: Interactive Website Lifts the Veil Off the Inner Workings of McDonald’s

You know on Food Network, when the presenter of any given show goes ‘behind the scenes’ of a restaurant and they hang out, cook something and have a bit of banter in the kitchen? That stuff doesn’t happen too easily. Afraid of the scrutiny that it might invite, restaurateurs and chefs are more than a little guarded when it comes to their work space being intruded.

Fast food restaurants are under scrutiny than most, which makes McDonald's Egypt’s new campaign, Your Right to Know, all the more intriguing. This week, the Merghany Street, Heliopolis branch of the global burger specialist invited a host of media, influencers and other food-loving figures to ask everything and anything they might have ever wondered about in regards to what goes on at the back.

The campaign is taken so seriously, in fact, that a website was launched to provide easy access and interaction with it.
