GET /mcdonalds/categories

List McDonald's menu categories

Returns one market's McDonald's menu categories -- 13 in the United States at time of writing, including breakfast, burgers, chicken-and-fish-sandwiches, mcnuggets-and-mccrispy-strips, snack-wrap, fries-sides, happy-meal, sweets-treats, mccafe-coffees, drinks, sauces-and-condiments and the two value menus; other markets publish their own, from 6 in Switzerland to 17 in Australia. Each entry's slug is the value GET /mcdonalds/menu takes. Slugs are not portable between markets, so pass the same country back. Eight markets publish a reachable menu, fewer than the ten the restaurant locator covers.
