Go west and try a burger from In N' Out sometime!

I agree though, McDonalds has had at least one sandwich with tomato on
it for years. Back in the early 80's (I think), they had the McDLT (or
something like that) where the sandwich was served in a special
container with the cold ingredients separate from the rest of the
sandwich and they used to advertise it as "keep the cold food cold and
the hot food hot" or something to that effect.
