Fast delivery: here’s McNutella, here’s the Red Dragon Inn and maple week is here!

This fast delivery will be a little slower than the others because big news awaits us! We will announce a marriage between Nutella and McDonald’s, we will find a new Auberge du Dragon rouge and we will unveil the main lines of Maple Week in Beauce!
First of all, Nutella lovers will be happy, and above all curious, to discover McDonald’s new hamburger. The only problem is that you have to be in Italy and find one of the 600 McDonald's to get your teeth into it. The two multinationals have created a toast topped with chocolate and which is served hot. Such an experiment has already been carried out at Tim Hortons, but in the form of donuts. This time, the sandwich looks more like a burger, largely because of the bread used for the recipe. When will we see a breakthrough on our side of the Atlantic?
Also, the Auberge du Dragon rouge, an institution north of Montreal for more than 25 years, recently reopened after being forced to close them temporarily due to damage caused by a fire in a neighboring building. Renovations were needed due to water damage and the owners decided to do a complete facelift. Don't worry, the atmosphere remains the same thanks to the service offered by the innkeeper, the musician and the storyteller!
Finally, Beauce is getting ready for the second edition of its maple festival, which will take place from March 9 to 15. Before putting gastronomy, ingenuity and of course maple at the forefront, the 14 restaurants will prepare a special maple menu and could win one of the three prizes awarded, one of which will be awarded according to the popular vote of the public. The list of participating restaurants can be found on the official website of the event: http://www.destinationbeauce.com/concours.
