The McBaguette From “Emily in Paris” Is Real — and TikTokkers Are Raving About It

Season three of “Emily in Paris” offers all we hoped for and more, from igniting passionate fan discussions regarding the Gabriel and Alfie love triangle to offering us many designer fashion moments. But one important issue remains for viewers after the series: Is the McBaguette real?

The McBaguette: Is It Real?

The sandwich, which was first referenced in the season opener, is actually available in more than 1,200 McDonald’s outlets in France, according to NBC. Originally a limited-edition promotional item, it has subsequently become a yearly limited-time addition to the McDonald’s France menu. In fact, the creators of “Emily in Paris” chose to make the double-stacked sandwich a significant story piece in season three since it is so adored.

What Is the McBaguette at McDonald’s?

The Big Mac and apple pie may be some customers’ favorite menu items at the fast-food restaurant, but the McBaguette has evolved into a contemporary French classic. Two hamburger patties or two chicken tenders, swiss cheese, lettuce, and grainy french mustard are placed on a crisp baguette from local vendors to make the sandwich. It’s essentially fast food combined with fine dining, and TikTok is already an expert at recreating it at home.

How to Make the McBaguette at Home

While some “Emily in Paris” fans are lucky enough to have the McBaguette offered at their local McDonald’s restaurants, most can only admire the sandwiches from afar. If you’re an ocean away from the Eiffel Tower, you can make the Netflix-famous sandwich yourself by cooking two burger patties of your choice in a pan and topping them with sliced swiss cheese.
