Bigger burger, lower price at 500º

Changes at the Rittenhouse sandwich shop.

500º, the burger shop at 1504 Sansom St., supersized itself this morning.

In a bid for more business, the shop has increased its 5½-ounce patties to 7 ounces, and dropped most other prices by 50 cents.

That means that the most popular menu item -- the "classic" cheeseburger with Bibb lettuce, tomato, fries, and a drink -- is now $9.99 including sales tax.

The brioche roll has given way to Le Bus' "old country club"-style roll.

Shakes have gone from $5 to $4, and drinks are now $1.50, down from $2.
