It would be strange to be the CEO of a giant restaurant He didn’t do that Eat the food his company provides. But this is certainly not a problem for the McDonald’s president.
In a Latest post on InstagramCEO Chris Kempczinski said he was asked how often he eats at the popular fast food chain.
“I would tell you it’s a lot, maybe three or four times a week,” he said. “Sometimes it might be breakfast. Sometimes it might be lunch. But hey, one of the perks of the job — you get to eat at McDonald’s a lot.”
Since it seems to come with the territory, other CEOs also shared some of their eating habits at the restaurants they run.
Before he became Starbucks CEO, Brian Nicol said his favorite order at Chipotle was a chicken burrito with white rice, fajita vegetables, pico de gallo, and a little cheese. That’s in addition to the accompanying quesadilla barbacoa and of course chips and guac.
“It’s probably too much food for my age,” Nicol said. luck last year. “But, you know, it’s hard to resist.”
Damola Adamolekun, CEO of Red Lobster, also shared his favorite menu item at the seafood chain. It was a snow crab, but it changed into a different shape on the plate.
“I tried Birdie crab Recently, a different type of snow crab, and this is my new favorite the Wall Street Journal last year.
Birdie Crab Legs are wild-caught and sourced “directly from the icy cold waters of the Bering Sea,” according to Red Lobster, and provide a meatier, sweeter taste than Snow Crab Legs.
Meanwhile, Kempczinski is navigating a difficult landscape for restaurants as inflation remains flat while customers continue to look to McDonald’s for affordable food.
Earlier this year, the company reduced the prices of its combo meals after customers complained they had become too expensive.
Kempczinski acknowledged the problem, saying in an earnings release that “you’re seeing bundled meals priced over $10, and that certainly negatively impacts perceptions of value.”
Consumers are also becoming increasingly divided. Low-income diners are eating less, treating fast food less as an everyday convenience and more as an occasional extravagance. He told CNBC last month.
“Especially with middle- and low-income consumers, they are feeling under a lot of pressure right now,” he added. “There’s a lot of comments about, ‘What’s the state of the economy, how are things going now?’ And what we’re seeing is that it’s really kind of a two-tier economy. If you’re high-income, earning over $100,000, things are good…and what we’re seeing with middle- and low-income consumers, it’s actually a different story.
