Don't know. I try to avoid McDonald's. For breakfast I like to go to real breakfast joints that serve pancakes and syrup on something other than plastic plates. When it comes to burger joints, I eschew most chains like that, and prefer to go to good mom-and-pop joints. Or if I do chains, I do those that actually take time to cook good burgers, provide real shakes, things like chili, onion rings, etc. Sorry to go on, but I'm a burger-and-shake lover. For chains in Atlanta, the best are Virginia-based Five Guys, Steak-and-Shake, LA-based Fat Burger, and Ted's Montana Grill.

Out will be some low sellers; in will be leaner breakfast fare. In a memo sent to franchisees, the Oak Brook-based chain signaled the impending demise of the Big N' Tasty, Mac Snack Wraps and the fruit and walnut salad, among other items. At the same time, McDonald's is gearing up for a planned national rollout in January of an oatmeal breakfast, currently being test-marketed. The menu moves, particularly the new breakfast offering, could prove healthy for customers' waistlines and McDonald's bottom line, according to Morningstar restaurant analyst R.J.
