Eater has the story: McDonald’s Austria is getting an Asian noodle dish called McNoodles on September 20.

The …

Manny Castro, who was arrested earlier this month for spray-painting the wall of a California Chick-Fil-A franchise, will not face charges. A West Hollywood artist who allegedly painted the words “Tastes like hate” on the side of a Chick-fil-A restaurant because of the company president’s stand against gay marraige won’t be criminally charged by the L.A.

McDonald’s has launched a lamb burger in Australia. The Serious Lamb Burger “is centered on a lamb patty made of egg, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, rosemary, oregano and garlic.” Sounds baa-licious.
