" It&amp;#039;s been a week full of upsets so far. In that vein, here&amp;#039;s some fairly historic burger news: Despite its somewhat lackluster French fries, Wendy&amp;#039;s has managed to beat out Burger King to become the second largest hamburger chain in the nation by sales volume. For the first time. Ever. Analysts credit Wendy&amp;#039;s newfound success to its efforts to go more upscale, with items like Dave&amp;#039;s Hot &amp;#039;N Juicy Burger (a name I&amp;#039;m still not sure I understand), but there&amp;#039;s a bit more going on here. BK still has many more stores than Wendy&amp;#039;s, but its sales have been flat over the past five years, while Wendy&amp;#039;s figure has grown by nine percent. (Now BK is revamping its menu, too.) Meanwhile, McDonald&amp;#039;s continues to dominate, doing twice the volume of Wendy&amp;#039;s and Burger King combined. So don&amp;#039;t expect the Golden Arches to be replaced any time soon. More importantly: the food. Have any thoughts on Wendy&amp;#039;s or Burger King&amp;#039;s new menus? Let us know in the comments. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
