McDonald's to Raise Burger's Price (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122765049759757763.html?mg=com-wsj)

McDonald's Corp. will raise the suggested price of its double cheeseburger on Monday, moving it off the Dollar Menu.

The restaurant chain will recommend that franchisees sell the popular double cheeseburger for $1.19.

To replace it on the Dollar Menu, McDonald's will add a new McDouble burger. That sandwich is made with two all-beef patties and a single slice of cheese -- one less than in the chain's traditional double cheeseburger.

An analyst estimated that the change will save six cents a burger.

Six cents a slice?! 16 slices of Kraft singles costs $4-$5 in the supermarket. Where can I buy a box of McDonald's cheese? :(

You can buy cheese at 6 cents a slice, but you have to buy 250,000 slices at a time!

True. Not that I eat McD's very often anyway.

Speaking of which, I finally tried Shake Shack a couple weeks ago. Of all the In-N-Out wannabes, this is definitely the closest...the only major difference is their "Shack Sauce" which isn't as good as whatever INO uses, but overall the burger is still excellent. Fries are very good, way better than INO.

There are two locations...one is a large outdoor stand in Madison Square Park which is famous for its 1 hour+ line just about every day, and a new one which is a Fuddrucker's-style restaurant on Columbus and 77th where the line is a lot shorter.

Two weeks from Wed I should shoving my face into a double double! There will be pics!

As for McDonalds not a loss, Wendy's still has their double on the dollar menu and it blows McDonalds away.
