It’s possible that burgers, not necessarily McDonalds, have been eaten on the Space Station. They have a Special Oven.
And if you think that’s irrelevant, try the Space Burger.
The Dead Sea lies at 1,371ft below sea level. So even granting the mall a couple of hundred feet over that, I doubt the Tokyo centers go down a thousand feet.
Slight nitpic. Both Montezuma CO and Alma CO are higher than Leadville.
Both are incorporated. But as to what a ‘City’ is would be a bit of a reach for either.
Leadville is at about 10,150 with 2800 people, Montezuma is at 10,200 with about 100 people and Alma is at 10,355 feet with about 300 people.
In Colorado, a sign for the ‘City’ does not state it’s population, but it’s elevation. I think Alma actually claims 10,500’. Depends on where you measure from, and whos house is city hall that week 
Neither has a McD’s though (thank God).
My Wife and I live about 4 miles uphill from Alma. There is a bit of a debate around here about which is the ‘highest’ town/city.
Well, have you ever brought McDonald’s food home and eaten it at your house, then?
How about sell it at your house? 
I believe that Winter Park, CO is actually claiming to be the highest current incorporated city/town/village/callitwhatyouwantitsstillonlyacouplehousesandagasstation in the United States, but that is because it annexed part of a local ski resort. I don’t think its “official” elevation (the elevation of its town center) is nearly as high as Alma’s is.
The whole Alma, Leadville, Montezuma area is just breathtakingly lovely. I’m glad that no McDonald’s spoils it, yet. Course, you can simply go to Dillon or Vail and find one. 
The definition of “city” may be what the Leadville Chamber of Commerce is hiding behind when they make that claim, repeated in the wiki article on the place. Actually, what they say on the town’s web page is slightly more grandiose:
They’ve grown a few extra feet over your figure, I notice. Measuring the highest point that’s inside the city limits, I expect.
The definition of “city” varies from state to state. For some states, there is nothing but “cities” and areas that aren’t incorporated. For others, like Ohio, there are gradations. In Ohio, until you get to 5000 in population, you are officially a “village” if you incorporate. Other states have different rules (PLEASE don’t turn this into a what rules your state has thread!!!)
It’s possible that what Leadville is working with is that they have the highest elevation within city limits, since I believe Colorado is an all or nothing state (all incorporated entities are “cities”). It was this definition that Winter Park was using to make their claim, noted by me above. 
Boy, have we massively hijacked this thread… :o
OK, put it back on track by observing that Winter Park has a McDonald’s, but the base of the mountain is about 9000 feet, so they aren’t going to beat Quito.
Jeez, too bad it closed, given the attractive business model evinced by its manager in that article:
“We’re introducing a kind of service-oriented business this country isn’t accustomed to,” said local licensee Roberto Udler, who formed a 50/50 joint venture with Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonald’s. “It’s a challenge, but we’re forcing the country to change in the process.”
Ugly American? Where?
Well, from my link about its closing:
Seems some folks there were sad to see it go.
De Gustibus non disputatum est
“Yankee imperialist artery-clogging burger slingers… COME BACK!”
Alma’s done the same. The elevation sign in town is 10,500 and change.
Maybe I should call corporate headquarters and ask them.
It is the one in Cuzco, Peru at about 11,200 feet. It is located in the central Plaza. The hamburger was really dry, but the french fries were just like the ones back in the states.
just wait until they open one in the Mariana trench.
BTW, a brief search shows that it was opened in 2008, and didn’t figure into the discussion at the time of the OP.
this isn’t a McDonald’s—but it’s one helluva long hike to this
tea house on a mountaintop
do you suppose they have a drive-thru window?
Only for people mounted on those dragony things from Avatar… 
They did. For 20 minutes. In the 1960s.
C’mon, somebody had to!
