McDonald’s announced last week that they are phasing out their Angus burgers–which are on the higher end of their menu–and are now replacing them with three new quarter pounder options. <\/p>\n

The new sandwiches will take the place of two of the Angus burgers–Deluxe and Bacon and Cheese–and will include a new option, Habanero Ranch. They’ll boast new buns and thicker slices of bacon than previous incarnations. The company made the decision<\/a> after sales slumped for the more expensive fare in 2012.<\/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 said<\/a>. \u201cThe Dollar Menu has become a real problem for these chains.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new burgers have been tested in restaurants across the country for several months but won’t roll out nationally until next month.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we created these burgers, we didn\u2019t see the need for the Angus line,\u201d Greg Watson<\/a>, senior VP of menu innovations said.<\/p>\n
