Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jillian Eugenios]

  Though Starbucks (SBUX) lost its top spot in New York City, which it held since last year, it's still the most-expensed food vendor in the country for business travelers, who spend an average of $10 per visit. The coffee chain is ranked just above McDonald's and Subway overall. Seamless, on the other hand, isn't even in the top 25 vendors on the national scene.

• [By Melvin Backman]

  That's what happened with companies like Starbucks (SBUX) and J.M. Smucker (SJM), which have both recently raised consumer prices when coffee beans didn't come down in cost for several months. At some point, companies have to pass those higher prices on to consumers.
