AdvertisementI compared two famous burgers from the East and West Coast. In-N-Out's animal-style Double Double burger was large and came with lots of toppings. The gooey cheese and soft bun of the double cheeseburger from 7th Street Burger in NYC blew me away. AdvertisementTo see how famous burger chains from each coast compared, I tried cheeseburgers from one West Coast-based and one East Coast-based chain: In-N-Out's iconic Double Double animal-style cheeseburger and 7th Street Burger's smashed double cheeseburger. Here's how these two famous burgers compared in terms of taste and value.

☆ McDonald's executives say E. coli outbreak is 'behind us'
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-29 | by ( Amelia Lucas | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

A week after health authorities publicly linked a deadly E. coli outbreak to McDonald's Quarter Pounder burgers, the company's CEO, Chris Kempczinski, told investors that the situation is now behind them. On Sunday, McDonald's said Quarter Pounder burgers would return to the roughly 900 restaurants where the company had pulled the menu item following the outbreak. McDonald's has stopped sourcing onions from the supplier indefinitely and will return the Quarter Pounder to menus sans slivered onions. As of Friday, 75 health cases across 13 states have been tied to the outbreak, including one death of an older adult. At least three lawsuits have already been filed against McDonald's by victims of the outbreak.

☆ McDonald's reverses U.S. same-store sales declines in the third quarter, but E. coli fallout looms
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-29 | by ( Amelia Lucas | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

McDonald's on Tuesday reported quarterly earnings and revenue that beat analysts' expectations as its U.S. restaurants reversed last quarter's same-store sales decline. It's the second straight quarter that the company's same-store sales have fallen. U.S. same-store sales rose 0.3%, reversing last quarter's same-store sales declines but still slightly weaker than the 0.5% increase predicted by StreetAccount estimates. The company's two international divisions both reported steeper declines in same-store sales compared with the prior quarter. The international developmental licensed markets division reported same-store sales declines of 3.5%, driven by weak demand in the Middle East and China.

Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey said the company doesn't expect an E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's to hurt the beverage company's sales. McDonald's is Coke's largest restaurant customer, and the two companies' symbiotic relationship has existed for nearly seven decades. On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it has linked an E. coli outbreak in 10 states to McDonald's Quarter Pounder burgers. Both ingredients are unique to the Quarter Pounder burgers, although cooking the patty at the correct internal temperature should kill the bacteria. The outbreak comes as consumers broadly have been spending less at restaurants, hurting both McDonald's and Coke.
