McDonald’s unveils new 1/3-lb. burger today
McDonald’s is unveiling its first new burger addition to its permanent menu in eight years today (7-2-09).
The sandwich is called the “Angus Third Pounder,” a 6-ounce burger available in three styles: the Deluxe, Bacon & Cheese, and Mushroom & Swiss.
Check out some of the “new-burger coverage” in Fast Food News and in Chain Leader and in the Chicago Tribune, whose “Cheeseburger bureau chief” tasted the three burgers and proclaimed the mushroom & swiss his favorite.

TweetFree fish tacos for one day only
Long John Silver’s is offering a “Free Baja Fish Taco Day” on July 14, when the seafood chain will give away samples of its new menu item from open until 2:30 p.m.
There are several LJS’s in southwest and west-central Ohio, and you can use the Long John Silver’s store locator page on the company’s web site to find the restaurant closest to you. The Baja Fish Taco regularly sells for 99 cents.
The chain’s own web promotion acknowledges that the new dish “Sounds weird, tastes delicious” … kind of an odd endorsement, isn’t it?
Check out this Nation’s Restaurant News story for more on the promotion/giveaway.
