Fast food lover details his quest to visit all 13,544 McDonald's in US
One man has set out on a quest to visit all 13,544 McDonald's in the US... despite the fact that the endeavor may cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars and take over three decades to complete. The 19-year-old man, who goes by Donny Boys online and asked to keep his real name hidden for privacy reasons, from Phoenix Arizona , said he's loved McDonald's for as long as he can remember. He also has a fierce passion for traveling - so he decided to combine the two and create a challenge for himself to go to every single McDonald's location in America. He kicked off the endeavor in July 2024, and has been to around 350 locations in the last year in states like Wisconsin , Illinois , California , Oregon , and Washington. The content creator been documenting the entire thing on his TikTok account, reviewing each location's food, atmosphere, and cleanliness. The fast food lover said he's not worried that he'll get sick of the beloved burger chain because he's been eating it regularly since he was 14 and still enjoys it. He also insisted that it has not negatively impacted his health because he has a 'very balanced diet to counter all the fast food he eats.' 'I have been eating McDonald's almost daily for years and I still have maintained a healthy figure and physique,' he said. While he's enjoying the food, Donny insisted that it's more about traveling than eating at McDonald's to him. He explained that he's always dreamed of seeing the world and that has pushed him to get out there and accomplish it. 'It's always been my dream to travel the entire country and see everything that our country has to offer and this challenge will fulfill my dreams,' said Donny. With more than 13,000 locations still to go, it would take Donny over 36 years to finish the quest if he visited one McDonald's every day. And he estimates that it will cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete it, but even so, he believes it's possible. 'If I had to take a estimate this will cost me around $500k to $750k in travel cost like food, hotels, gas, flights, and car maintenance,' he dished. He recently launched a GoFundMe for people to help fund his endeavor, where he's raised $105 so far. 'I've always dreamed of visiting every McDonald's in the United States, tasting each unique item on the menu and experiencing the local vibes,' he wrote in the description. 'This journey isn't just about the food; it's about connecting with people and cultures across the country. 'However, the costs of travel, lodging, and meals add up quickly. With your support, I can make this culinary adventure a reality, sharing my experiences and discoveries with you every step of the way. Join me on this delicious quest!' He told the Daily Mail that he's also in the midst of creating a website so people can 'track which ones he has been to so far.' We'll check back in with Donny in three decades to see if he completed the expedition.
