It's an age-old tale: wanting something you can't have. When it comes to fast-food chains, that feeling hits especially hard with regional menus. There's nothing quite like craving a favorite item only to find out it's exclusive to a far-off location.
And don't even get us started on international menus. They're full of eye-catching, unique creations that tease fans who just wish those flavors would make their way to the States.
Which brings us to McDonald's Hawaiian menu—technically not international for us, but absolutely one of those tantalizing regional treasures that's finally getting some well-deserved spotlight.

McDonald's Hawaiian Menu,' @snackbetch recently revealed on Instagram. 'These are specially available in Hawaii (not all locations),' they continued. 'Personally I think McDonald's should bring these all to the rest of the USA — who agrees?!'
The lineup, simple yet impactful, includes the following:
McTeri Deluxe - a juicy burger with teriyaki-glazed beef, fresh lettuce and tomato
Local Deluxe Breakfast Platter - a hearty plate with scrambled eggs, rice, Spam and Portuguese Sausage
Fried Apple Pie
Fried Taro Pie
Fried Coconut (Haupia Pie)'I would love to try the breakfast platter,' one viewer commented on the post. 'looks like a protein conscious plate,' another responded. As a local Hawaiian native who has enjoyed this delicious menu for years, a third person added, 'The Teri burger is fire.'
At this point, the fried apple pie alone has us checking for discount flights to Hawaii. If we book fast, maybe we can sneak in a quick trip this month and totally blow our summer travel budget. Totally worth it? That's still up for debate.McDonald's Sweet and Savory International Menu Has Fans Dreaming of Better Options: 'Gotta Book a Flight to Hawaii' first appeared on Parade on Jun 18, 2025

We moved from Salt Lake City to a small Texas town. The high property taxes shocked us, but the small-town vibe is worth it.

Lance Koster was ready for a career change and believed Texas was the best place to make it happen. In 2024, he and his family left Salt Lake City for a small Texas town, where he found nearby work. While the Kosters admit they miss living in Utah, they say they're happier than ever in Texas. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Lance Koster, a 61-year-old Pilot instructor, and his wife, Michelle, who moved to Justin, Texas, in 2024. Justin is a small town about 40 minutes north of Fort Worth. According to recent Census data, its population is 6,197. The essay has been edited for length and clarity. Lance: In my career as a pilot, my family and I moved around the country a lot. In 2010, we ended up in Salt Lake City and lived there for 14 years. We loved Salt Lake City. Its landscape was amazing, especially the mountains. We were always skiing, biking, or camping. And while we didn't have much family there, we made a lot of friends. However, we needed to make a change. The job was getting a little difficult, and my traveling was starting to increase. I was spending a lot of time away from home. My wife and I are getting a little older, and I was ready to slow down — I wanted to be home at night and not on the road. I thought it was best to take a position training up-and-coming pilots, which would give me a more stable schedule. Throughout my career, when I was training, my family and I spent some time in Texas. There are a couple of large jet training facilities in the state, so I knew there would be opportunities for me to become a pilot instructor. My family and I have also always been intrigued by Texas. Every time we've visited, it's been a pleasant experience. When it was finally time for us to make a change, it was the most logical destination. Lance: In June 2024, I got a job as a pilot instructor at a company located at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. In September, we bought a home in Justin, just north of Fort Worth. It's a small town, but it's growing quickly. A lot of the people who live in Justin have lived and worked here their whole lives, so it's actually a little uncomfortable for them that it's growing at such a rapid pace. Still, we've had nothing but pleasant experiences. Our home in Justin is 3,500 square feet and has five bedrooms and three bathrooms — enough space for my wife, me, and our two teenage sons. We live in a new neighborhood developed by homebuilder KB Homes. We really like our neighborhood. It has both larger and smaller homes, which was perfect for us. My wife's mother was living with us in Salt Lake City, and when we moved to Texas, we wanted to find a home with a mother-in-law suite, but we weren't having much luck. So, we decided to buy a larger home that would fit the four of us, and a smaller home for my mother-in-law, also in the same neighborhood. She now lives about a quarter mile from us and is fully independent. Lance: Salt Lake Valley, where Salt Lake City sits, has a population of almost 2 million people, so even though we lived in a suburban area, it still felt pretty busy. Life is a lot slower in Justin. The town has a little downtown, with a small grocery store and a couple of restaurants. We have to drive about 15 or 20 minutes toward Fort Worth to do most of our shopping at places like Costco or Walmart. Our younger son likes living in Justin. He works at the grocery store, which is about half a mile from our house. However, it's taken our older son a little more time to adjust. The biggest change we've noticed since moving is the culture — it's a lot different. Justin is a lot more diverse. Utah has a large Mormon population, and when you're not part of that, it doesn't always feel like you're included. The weather is a lot different in Texas, too. Salt Lake City was a lot cooler, and while it does get warm in the Summer, it's nowhere close to how hot it gets in Justin. We started building a pool in December and finished it a couple of months ago, so we have our own little oasis in the backyard to beat the heat. Michelle: Another big difference in Texas is that you do not have to pay income tax. But the property taxes are high. Our house in Salt Lake City was 1,000 square feet larger than our home in Justin, but our property taxes here are three times the amount. Everything here is also so spread out compared to what we were used to. We lived at the south end of the Salt Lake Valley and it would take us 25 minutes to get downtown. If we go to Dallas from Justin — almost 40 miles away — it can take us anywhere from an hour to two. Michelle: We do miss our friends in Salt Lake City — we made some very good, lifelong friends — but we don't plan on moving back. They all come out to visit us, and we see them when we go back. Our son misses the mountains in Utah, especially in the south. We had really nice views everywhere, and based on the mountains, you could always tell if you were facing north, south, east, or west. Everything about it was beautiful. That said, we've accepted our new home, and the locals have accepted us, too. We've already started making friends. We've even hosted parties at our house on cool nights, and it's been great. It's hard for us to quantify, but we all agree, we enjoy it here more. Read the original article on Business Insider

Tutor Perini chosen for $1.87bn Midtown Bus Terminal Redevelopment Program

Tutor Perini has received a $1.87bn contract to construct key components of the Midtown Bus Terminal Redevelopment Program in New York City. The project, commissioned by the board of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, includes a new seven-floor storage and staging facility and an innovative ramp structure. The new facility, located between 9th and 10th Avenues and West 39th and 40th Streets, will provide indoor storage for up to 350 buses and serve as a temporary bus terminal during the construction of a new main terminal. The ramp structure, encompassing the block bounded by 10th and 11th Avenues and 39th and 40th Streets, will facilitate bus movement to and from the Lincoln Tunnel. Construction is set to commence in late 2025, with the completion of the currently scheduled and funded work expected by late 2028. The contract value will be incorporated into the company's backlog in the second quarter of 2025. Tutor Perini CEO and president Gary Smalley said: 'We are excited to be a part of this transformational project, which will significantly improve the quality of life and regional transportation for commuters throughout the New York City metropolitan region. 'Tutor Perini has a long and successful track record of partnering with the Port Authority to deliver large, complex transportation infrastructure projects, including most recently Newark Liberty International Airport's Terminal A. We look forward to continuing to partner with this important customer to successfully deliver this latest project.' In addition, Tutor Perini's subsidiary, Tutor Perini Building, has secured a $220m contract for the Eagle Mountain Casino Phase 2 Expansion in Porterville, California. The project includes a new 193-room hotel tower, a rooftop restaurant, a central warehouse with offices, an expanded restaurant, a 2,000-seat events centre with convention space, and new hotel amenities such as a spa, arcade, and resort pool. Work on the casino expansion is set to begin in mid-2025, with substantial completion expected in 2027. The contract value will be added to the company's backlog in phases, starting with the preconstruction phase award booked in the second quarter of 2025. In February this year, the Tutor Perini-Nan joint venture was awarded additional scope options valued at approximately $232m for the Apra Harbor Waterfront Repairs Project in Guam.
