Thinking about investing in McDonald's? Maybe you should consider these three ideas instead.

The following video is from Monday's MarketFoolery podcast, in which host Chris Hill and analysts Jason Moser and Andy Cross discuss the top business and investing stories of the day.

Shares of McDonald's (MCD -0.01%) finished up today after it was reported that same-store sales rose 2.6% in May. Results were particularly strong in the U.S. and Europe. Despite the good numbers, our analysts are not excited about McDonald's, the stock. In this installment of MarketFoolery, they analyze the key core strength McDonald's is missing, which companies have it, and why they believe Chipotle (CMG 5.03%), Panera (PNRA), and Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) are a smarter bet for most investors.

The relevant video segment can be found between 6:59 and 11:12.
