Where's the beef? Wendy's running low on hamburger meat
by Mark Frauenfelder from on (#532KM)
According to CNN 18% of Wendy's restaurants in the United States are no longer able to sell hamburgers or other meat-based items because of the national meat shortage. The restaurant chain is focusing it attention on promoting chicken sandwiches, wrote Stephens analyst James Rutherford. CNN asked McDonald's and Burger King whether they were experiencing shortages, but neither chain immediately responded.
