Chili\u2019s takes aim at McDonald\u2019s with new burger to rival the Big Mac Chilli’sChilli\u2019s are turning up the heat with their new burger that they believe is set to rival McDonald\u2019s, packing on almost twice as much beef. McDonald\u2019s is implementing a lot of changes to their burgers in 2024 as a part of their \u2018best burger\u2019 initiative. This means that they\u2019re altering the way the meat is seared on the grill, as well as replacing the bun with a softer version. In addition to this, according to the most recent quarter earnings call on April 30, they confirmed that they\u2019d be increasing the size of burger patties. CFO Ian Borden announced: \u201cAs we look to further build on our leadership in beef, our team of chefs from around the world have created a larger satiating burger.\u201d But whether or not it will be large enough to compete with Chili\u2019s new offering is yet to be decided. The Texan burger chain has brought out its latest heavyweight item, the Big Smasher, and it\u2019s set to go toe-to-toe with competitors. The new burger has twice as much beef as a Big Mac, with nearly half a pound of hand-smashed beef. This is quite sizeable compared to the Big Mac, which only weighs in at 3.2 ounces. In addition to the nearly half-pound burger patty, the new Big Smasher Burger also features diced red onions, lettuce, pickles, Thousand Island dressing, and American cheese. To help save on fast food costs, Chili\u2019s is also offering a new deal that customers can take advantage of called the 3 for Me menu. With this deal, customers can get a bottomless drink, bottomless chips and salsa, the new burger, and a side of fries for $10.99. \u201cWe know diners are experiencing sticker shock from the rising cost of fast food, with little change to the actual quantity or quality of fast food combo meals,\u201d George Felix, Chili\u2019s chief marketing officer, said in a press release. \u201cWe believe that Chili\u2019s 3 for Me offers better value than you\u2019ll find in any drive-thru and, with the all-new Big Smasher burger, we just made the 3 for Me even better. We believe our guests can enjoy better quality, better pricing and a better experience every time.\u201d The Big Smasher is currently available for purchase at all Chili\u2019s locations across the US. There are more fast food releases to get excited about this May, as Dunkin\u2019 have revealed their all-new summer lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
