McDonald\u2019s released their value meal back in June after they, and many other fast food chains, had a decline in customers due to an exponential rise of fast food prices. Now, fast-casual restaurant Chili\u2019s is coming to the rescue of disenchanted fast food customers, with their new burger The Smasher. Chili\u2019s reported at 15% rise in their sales, thanks to their new \u201c3 For Me\u201d promotion that allows customers to get a fountain drink, entree, and appetizer, all for $10.99. Fans can choose from quesadillas, pasta, chicken tenders, steaks, and of course, the all-new Big Smasher Burger. Appetizers can include chips and salsa, mozzarella sticks, chicken wings, or a classic portion of fries if you really want to feel like you\u2019re at the Golden Arches. This burger contains a beef patty, American cheese, iceberg lettuce, pickles, and special sauce. Chili\u2019s may not name the Big Mac in their advertisement, but they do compare their new burger to an unmarked burger that contains two patties and three buns. Where have we seen that before? Chili\u2019s doesn\u2019t always get the best reputation, and people often place it in the \u201cso bad, it\u2019s good category\u201d, but this burger looks to be a shining star on their menu. Social media conversations tracked by Chili\u2019s showed that customers were \u201cfrustrated by fast food prices,\u201d CEO Kevin Hochman said in a April earnings call, prompting them to run ads that \u201cuse fast food as a foil.\u201d They describe the Big Smasher as having \u201ctwice the beef of a Big Mac and flavors fast food lovers will recognize.\u201d If you\u2019re not sure what appetizer to go for in your 3 For Me deal, check out the secret menu mozzarella sticks that are going viral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chili\u2019s new burger and value meal is Big Mac\u2019s best dupe McDonald&#8217;s \/ Chili&#8217;sChili\u2019s has just released an all-new burger that looks uncannily like a Big Mac, and there\u2019s a brand new value meal to go along with it.
