Menu Changes Coming to McDonald’s

The global fast food chain plans to rollout what it calls its “best burgers ever,” putting a focus on correcting dry patties and squishy buns. The changes will include the following:

  • Six patties grilled at a time instead of eight to have its auto-cooking mechanism apply less pressure and retain more burger patty juices
  • More sauce on Big Macs
  • Addition of thicker, buttery brioche buns to retain heat
  • Sesame seeds more randomly scattered on buns
  • Cheese taken out of refrigerators sooner to melt more when cooked
  • Onions rehydrated after purchase to provide more juiciness
  • Lettuce and pickles stored in smaller containers to be refreshed more often.

Wendy’s to Upgrade Some Stores

The Dublin, Ohio-based chain said during a conference call with investors that it planned to begin closing restaurants soon. The company said it expected a “mid-single-digit percentage” of its U.S. stores to be affected, but it didn’t give any more details.

Wendy’s currently has 6,011 U.S. restaurants. If 5% of those locations were impacted, it would mean 300 store closures.
