McDonald's and "gourmet" might not be words you quickly associate, but the chain is test marketing new burgers in the hopes of changing your mind.

The new features are made-to-order and thicker than traditional McDonald's burgers, so customers may have to wait a bit longer for their food.

If the gourmet burgers are a hit, they could expand across the U.K. and possibly appear in the U.S.
