McDonald's is adding three new Quarter Pounders to its menu as the fast-food chain looks to offer cheaper premium burgers while capitalizing on one of its most popular brands.
The company, based in Oak Brook, Ill., says the new burgers will replace its meatier Angus Third Pounders, which were among the most expensive items on its menu at around $4 to $5. The Quarter Pounders will come in two of the same varieties as the Angus burgers – Bacon and Cheese and Deluxe. The third option will be Habanero Ranch.
McDonald's Corp., which has about 14,000 U.S. locations, says the new burgers will roll out nationally in mid-June. The new Quarter Pounder line will use a bun that has eight grams of whole grains, while the original Quarter Pounder will stay with its regular bun.
The swap for burgers with less meat comes as restaurant chains across the industry face rising beef prices. The higher costs are particularly problematic for fast-food chains, which are known for their cheap eats and limited in how much they can hike prices without scaring away customers.
McDonald's has also been going to greater lengths to emphasize the affordability of its food in a push to turn around slumping sales. That has forced Burger King and Wendy's to adjust their marketing and focus more heavily on deals as well.

mayer bitchberg can kiss my fat ass :coffee:
im fat, so what. I like a good old sugar soda from time to time, and Its not the governments business to tell me what to do with my body
but if i was a woman wanting an abortion, the nanny state would say, how dare i not offer to give money to pay to put to death an unborn child.
Just pointing out the irony.
Life means nothing, unless its controlling mine

Go to McDonald's - get what you want - and bring it home in a plain brown paper bag so the neighbors will not see what you bought

Every time we go to a fast food restaurant because we are in a hurry, and Hungry.
I always look at the MENU, and say "THANK YOU MICHELLE". Before I ask..."Can I have TWO MCRIBS and an order of FRIES?"

You know what I find funny about health in this country? Coffee is "bad" for you, but coffee drinkers live longer than people who don't drink coffee. Meanwhile, you see people who smoked, drank, and overate their way through life living through their 70s, 80s, and even 90s. One of the world's oldest women was a prolific smoker.

Remember the late great George Burns? Haw many cigars did he smoke per day and he lived a great life

the funny thing about "Angus" beef is that it isn't a requirement that it come from an Angus steer.....it only had to come from the company that holds the copyright on the phrase "Angus beef".....
the second funny thing is that there isn't a person in the world that, in a blind taste test, could tell you if the meat they were eating came from an Angus, a Hereford, or any other breed.....

If you want a real, quality burger. Go home and make your own out on the grill.

I use yelp.com to get an idea where. McDonald's specializes in fast food. This is an example of a place known for their burgers: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-druid-cambridge
