Chilis probably will put their infamous 2 for 20 deal on their new menus in the near future.While the company says that this is their way to compete with the "Fast Casual" segment, I on the other hand have my own thoughts.

What Went Wrong At Burger King?

November 5, 2010

It seems people weren't buying nearly enough fries and drinks to go along with their loss-leader double cheeseburger.Nor, for that matter, were they buying enough of Burger King's premium items. Early this year the chain offered an answer to McDonald's successful Angus Burger-Steakhouse XT, which is larger than the Angus but is priced the same at $3.99. In May it introduced Fire Grilled Ribs, the eight-piece combo-meal version of which costs $8.99 -- a ridiculous price for a ridiculous meal.

You also have to look at commodity prices too, and that sometimes can be detrimental to any concept.
