A McDonald's in East Beirut? Yep. The first one opened Thursday -- and two more are coming later this year. It's all part of a big Middle East push by the chain. "I look at the Middle East over the next three to five years to open anywhere from 50 to 60 (new restaurants) a year," said Timothy Fenton, McDonald's VP in the region. There are already 56 McDonald's in Israel, 31 in Saudi Arabia, 24 in Egypt, and 18 in Kuwait.
