President Trump may have an answer to the question, “Where’s the Beef?”
As the coronavirus pandemic rips through meat-processing plants, forcing several to temporarily close, there have been reports of a looming meat shortage for United States consumers. The lack of beefy inventory is also being felt by fast-food chains throughout North America.
Among those affected is Wendy’s, the home of the square burgers, as they have reportedly removed hamburgers as an option at 18 percent of store locations across the nation, according to a restaurant anaylst.

I’d like him to do more of this.
This President is just plain incredible...we have never had such a pro-active President in our history. Got to love him!
Wendy’s, McDonald’s and other fast food chains should be able to acquire beef without government intervention.
Me too. what about McDonald’s , his favorite. They really need meat.
Just got a double from them. Goooooood burger.
How much is really “supply chain”, and how much is it that fast food joints like Wendy’s are one of the easier lazy options for people who don’t want to cook, with all of the lock-down BS and closures at other restaurants?
My brother and I do the shopping right now, and we haven’t had any problem getting beef at either Kroger’s or Costco so far. And plenty of chicken, fish, etc. You DO have to know how to cook, but we’re not hurting out here.
The Baconator is a mouthful of meaty, juicy, carnivore heaven.
I take the meat out of the bun and put it on gluten-free bread. I can’t eat their bacon. Only uncured bacon. Fun getting old.
If a burger chain is incapable of procuring beef, then they are doing something very wrong.
What about the french fries and burrito coverings?
I did my groceries at Food 4 Less today and last week. I dont KNOW where this “missing meat” threads come from because they are stocked FULL.
Plus I went to IN N OUT yesterday and there’s beef. I’m confused..
Aldi had almost no fresh meat, yesterday; just a few packages of vacuum packed beef. Big sign up, stated supply chain problems. Plenty of frozen meat, though.
Schlotskys has gluten free buns, if you’re into that sort of thing.
I genuinely feel for you. I’m 57 and wondering what else my doctor(s) are going to make me give up. They already made me quit smoking, drinking hard liquor, my wife made me stop chasing other women.........
Ditto that!
Welcome to Costco,
I love You.
The food nazis get to check off their square in this game of overreach roulette.
Me, too. This REALLY shows compassionate leadership and is hard for people to argue against.
To the problem, tho, isn’t this just limited to three states? Cuz I’ve got a sneaking suspicion the problem is certain dem red-tape that’s behind the shortage. No proof, mind you, just a feeling based on what else is going on.
