Who dines at McDonalds for nutrition?

Buddy of mine posted on FB about his McRib hack.

Order one with an extra patty, bring it home and put the extra on a toasted brioche bun with onion and extra bbq sauce. He says use bullseye. Nothing fancy!

He’s a smart man.

I think I'd avoid ordering the SSI Rib on Bun special (as supplies last) at Matt's place.

Rolling a porchetta for this Sundays roast!

McDonald’s CEO admitted the burger giant’s sales have taken a hit as jacked-up menu prices have turned off core customers — and signaled the chain plans to focus on “affordability” this year.

 

The Chicago-based fast-food behemoth — which has lately taken heat over a Big Mac combo meal priced at $18 — said its global same-store sales in the latest quarter had grown just 3.4%, falling short of the 4.7% growth Wall Street had expected.

 

The lackluster quarter — which the company also blamed on conflict in the Middle East that has slammed franchisees overseas — recently sent McDonald’s shares on the New York Stock Exchange tumbling more than 4% to $284.91.

 

“I think what you’re going to see as you head into 2024 is probably more attention to what I would describe as affordability,” McDonald’s chief executive Chris Kempczinski said on a Monday earnings call with analysts.

 

In particular, low income customers making less than $45,000 per year have largely stopped ordering from McDonald’s. Pummeled by inflation, they’re eating at home more frequently as grocery prices come down, Kempczinski admitted.
