So McDonald's CEO will talk tomorrow...
I agree with having good quality grilled chicken. I tried their old stuff, and it was nasty. I'm sure I'll try their new one at some point, but I don't have high hopes.
If they added chili, I'd be all about it. But if they made it like Wendy's, using their old burgers, I'd pass. Unless they upgraded the quality of their beef also.
But they're still pulling in over $6 Billion a quarter, so I think they'll be okay even if they make no major changes.

I live in Sacramento, CA and while out and about this weekend, I needed dinner and didn't want to cook - so I stopped by McD's and bought their new Artisan Grilled Chicken sandwich, no mayo, no vinaigrette. Came home and disassembled the sandwich, ate the chicken breast with the warm tomato. YUM! I would absolutely order that again.
Five Guys is only a good option if you are already set on having a cheeseburger because they offer the burger without the bun. They will either wrap the burger in lettuce or put it in a bowl. They also offer a large variety of free toppings, so you can get the burger bowl and add all the veggie toppings (bell peppers, onion, tomato, mushrooms, jalapenos, lettuce, and pickles). But I stay away from the fries; they are fried in peanut oil. Hamburger meat is a low quality, high fat source of protein, so I would not suggest eating it regularly. But if you really want a cheeseburger, it's a good option.

Five Guys (there's one in Granite Bay/Roseville area) is phenomenal. The burgers are made fresh with your choice of toppings, sauces, and cheese but (in my humble opinion) are kinda greasy. Pre WLS, I dumped after having a regular burger and fries for lunch. They offer burgers, grilled cheese, hot dogs, veggie sandwich and french fries that are akin to crack! They also have bunless burgers in single or double patties: hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon burger and bacon cheeseburger: (220-660 cals, 16-44 gms protein, sodium 50-980 gms, respectively). I think the regular bunless burger would be fairly okay - 220 cals, 16 gms protein, 50 gms sodium, 0 carbs. I think it's still a little too much for my new pouch.
