Fast food meets fine dining as McDonald’s drops McNugget Caviar
By James Herring on Friday, February 6, 2026
McDonald’s is giving its most iconic menu item a luxury makeover with the launch of the first-ever McNugget Caviar kit, a limited-edition Valentine’s Day drop that pairs Chicken McNuggets with real caviar and costs fans nothing.
Created in partnership with Paramount Caviar, the online-only kits land on February 10 via McNuggetCaviar.com, blending fast food fandom with fine-dining theatre.

For years, food creators and McDonald’s fans have joked about the unlikely pleasure of dipping crispy McNuggets into caviar, mixing high and low culture.

Each kit includes a one-ounce tin of Baerii sturgeon caviar, a $25 Arch Card for McNuggets, crème fraîche and a Mother of Pearl spoon, positioning the experience as playful indulgence rather than parody.
Timed for Valentine’s Day, the drop reframes romance through a distinctly McDonald’s lens turning a meme-worthy pairing into a premium moment.
