So McDonald's CEO will talk tomorrow...
Not a fan of Five Guys. It was nothing special. And I hate the whole 'free toppings' thing because no one charges for ketchup, mayo, pickles, produce. I don't see the point in saying free toppings unless it's something you normally have to pay for.
As far as McDonalds I didn't mind their salads except for the price. Could get two burgers and fries plus a drink for the price of the salad. So I just don't go. Don't drink coffee either.
I'm also in Sacramento, btw. I don't go to Chick-fil-a anymore because we are not on the same page about other... Non food... Ideas. Too bad it is good :(
Off the net...
The declines come as McDonald's tries to compete with old rivals, such as Burger King, and newer ones, such as Chipotle and Panera.
Jesse York, a director at restructuring consultancy Conway MacKenzie, said streamlining the company and shifting more stores to franchises makes sense. But menu issues remain, he says.
"McDonald's still struggles with an unwieldy menu and lacks a clear message to customers vs. all of the specialty fast-food and fast-casual restaurants that have come to be in the last decade, offering simple menus with a clear focus on doing one or two things well,'' York said.
And the answer from McDonald's is: we will make it easier for you to get our unhealthy food by doing the walking for you!

McDonald’s is testing a burrito bowl with kale in Southern California, its latest effort to reinvent itself.
Only months after McDonald’s made fun of kale in a TV spot for the Big Mac, the hamburger chain confirmed Wednesday it is testing a $3.99 breakfast bowl that includes the ingredient at nine restaurants in Southern California. That burrito bowl also has turkey sausage and egg white.
Over the past five years, Kale, considered by some to be nutrient-filled superfood, has soared in popularity as consumers seek healthier diets. But the trendy vegetable has also come to be associated with hoity-toity foodies and vegetarians whom many meat-eaters love to deride. McDonald’s sought to capitalize on that anti-kale backlash with an ad for the Big Mac earlier in the year.
