<p>NEW YORK (AP) &#8212; McDonald&#8217;s is offering fresh beef rather than frozen patties in some burgers at thousands of restaurants, a switch it first announced about a year ago as it works to appeal to customers who want fresher foods.</p><p>The fast-food giant, which has relied on frozen beef patties since the 1970s, said it&#8217;s launching Quarter Pounders made with fresh beef in about 3,500 restaurants starting Tuesday. It&#8217;ll be available in eight cities, including Atlanta, Miami and Salt Lake City, then roll out to most U.S. McDonald&#8217;s by May.</p><p>McDonald&#8217;s says workers will cook up the fresh beef on a grill when the Quarter Pounder and &#8220;Signature Crafted&#8221; burgers are ordered. The change is the latest by the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company to improve its image as more people shun processed foods.</p><style>
