McDonald’s announced this week that they will be cutting the Angus burgers from their menu, which are the most expensive items the restaurant serves.<\/p>\n

The fast-food giant appears to be trying to keep a good selection as well as low prices, which may set them apart from their biggest competitors, including Wendy’s. They also announced they will be expanding their quarter-pounder line, including an option with bacon. It’s about time!<\/p>\n

The company says the Angus burgers just didn’t stand a chance up against their lower-priced sandwiches or the dollar menu. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you can get four or five burgers off the Dollar Menu, nobody\u2019s going to buy the Angus burger,\u201d consultant Richard Adams<\/a> said. \u201cThe Dollar Menu has become a real problem for these chains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because of an intense drought last year, the price of beef rose substantially and restaurants had to compensate<\/a> by offering up more chicken choices. Now, they say, they’re looking to give customers more options while keeping their food affordable in a rough economy.<\/p>\n
