Burger King

[BarbaricAvatar]

What's the thing you like the most about Burger King? What makes it stand out from its competitors (McDonald's and Hardee's for example)? The burgers taste good, and the chips are not the soggy mess that McDonalds sell. Plus their chicken does not make one vomit, unlike McD's.

What's the thing you like the least in Burger King? The same problem i find in all of the places; the salad in the burgers.

Which specific burgers do you like the most? Bacon Double Cheese.

Does the food fill your hunger? Yup, and as i mentioned before, BK meals stay down.

Are the prices ok, or are they a bit expensive for you? All fast food prices are stupid wherever you go.

Right... I actually worked at one before for a summer, and I'm still willing to eat there. That says quite a bit if you ask me.


What's the thing you like the most about Burger King? What makes it stand out from its competitors (McDonald's and Hardee's for example)? The customizabilty of everything. If you don't want a friggen salad burger, you just tell the cashier no lettuce/tomato or if you hate mayonase, just ask for none, and bam. It's the way you want it made.

What's the thing you like the least in Burger King?
The fried portion of the menu... grease and I don't get along very well.

Which specific burgers do you like the most?
The rodeo cheeseburger (I'm pretty sure it's a regional item) spliced by myself with a dollar bacon cheeseburger.

Does the food fill your hunger?
I'm a small guy, it would be hard not to.

Are the prices ok, or are they a bit expensive for you?
If you know what you're doing, you can actually get things you want for cheaper then you otherwise could. For example, if you want a whatever with bacon, there is a dollar bacon cheeseburger that can work well as a base.


So long as you go to one in a decent neighborhood, the food's suppriseingly fresh, having been cooked no more than 5 minutes ago. What's more, if you want to gaurentee that your meal's fresh, you can walk in and request "off the broiler" or "fresh out the grease" and they'll cook it for you right then and there, no problems.

Carl's Jr. is the best then Jack in the Box. Actually a franchise in California called In and Out Burgers is the best.

Carl's Jr. is known as Hardee's east of the Mississippi, and it frightens me.

In and Out is the best burger place ever, and I'm moving across the country JUST so I can eat it constantly.

I like Burger King because it's the only place open 24/7 that's close enough to walk to from the bars here. I avoid the beef, though.

Isn't Hardees the place with the 10 roast beef sandwiches for $10 or something like that? Carl's Jr. has really good Angus burgers. In California, at least, they are very good. Who knows what inbred weirdo stuff you are up to in the old lands.

I thought you were moving across the country to be closer to me!! Damn In and Out with it's delicious double-double burgers and fries and chocolate malts.

Well in Aussie, 'Burger King' is called 'Hungry Jacks' As a locak chain had Burger King before it came to Aus They are fairly popular here but then again, we only have KFC, McD, Hungry Jacks (Burger King) and an Aussie chain called Red Rooster. Red Rooster beats them all hands down!

double-double burgers? Thank God I don't live in America, or I would have been as big as a couch.

-What's the thing you like the most about Burger King? What makes it stand out from its competitors (McDonald's and Hardee's for example)?

The burgers are flame-broiled, not fried like McDs, and they taste better. I like the buns better too. They kept their king-sized fries when McDs wimped out and killed the super-size.

-What's the thing you like the least in Burger King?

I wish their fries were as good as McDs;

-Which specific burgers do you like the most?

Bacon double cheese burger

-Does the food fill your hunger?

It's just right. Sated but not bloated.

-Are the prices ok, or are they a bit expensive for you?

Ok.

What's the thing you like the most about Burger King? The exit

What makes it stand out from its competitors (McDonald's and Hardee's for example)? The food is nasty

What's the thing you like the least in Burger King? That my friends actually like the food and want to stop there to eat.

Which specific burgers do you like the most? hmmm, no preference comes to mind.

Does the food fill your hunger? If I can stand to finish it, yes.

Are the prices ok, or are they a bit expensive for you? Average I guess.

A burger has to be one of my favorite foods.


1.)What's the thing you like the most about Burger King? What makes it stand out from its competitors (McDonald's and Hardee's for example)?

Like Doug, the flame broiled taste. I'd prefer a burger from off the grill, and while I like "jack in the box" better than "burger king," we don't have jack in the box anywhere I've seen in PA. Mc-Donalds burgers taste too greasy and has in the past made me ill.

-What's the thing you like the least in Burger King?

I don't think there is anything I dislike, except that my husband's picky and orders his burgers with extra pickles, minus the onions rather than pick the onion off and they can't ever seem to get that right but it's that way in ALL burger joints.

-Which specific burgers do you like the most?

Whopper's just fine.

-Does the food fill your hunger?

Yes. I can't ever eat my fries so I don't know why I bother with a meal.

-Are the prices ok, or are they a bit expensive for you?

I think they're in line with any other burger joint but I usually don't go out and compare...




On a side note, what every burger joint in this state lacks is convenience. IE we have a gas station/convenience store in PA called Sheetz. They have touch screen menus and because sheetz is USED to everyone ordering exactly what they want on whatever they want, they very very seldom screw up an order for as far as I've seen. I beleive I've only once got a screwed up sandwich and the reason was actually because someone dripped vinegar into the mayo and it made it all nasty. Sounds silly that gas station food could be so good but I've never met anyone who tried it that didn't like it.

Contrary to my initial thoughts the worldwide entries make this topic interesting. Experiences in England differ from Australia, and it's another experience from the east coast or the west coast in the USA and so on.

It's to do with foodculture, i know France well and fast food doesn't really take off there nor in Belgium i think. I'd like to hear about Italy, another culture with a highbrow foodculture. I live in the Netherlands, a small country and we eat a lot of patat (say potát), that's the same as french fries but that's a very artificial name to our ears cos according to legends it's flamish so from Belgium. Why wouldn't they have opted for flemish fries i wonder .. Not counting cattle potatoes are the main farmproduct in this small country and we know how to cook them well, when you eat at a fastfood chain here the patat is excellent but the burgers are dry, old and scanty.
The big food chains take the local foodculture into account and calculate what they can get away with, poor fries would make them go bust in the Netherlands same as poor burgers in the US would make them bankrupt. It means the food you eat is a bit below average and the prices are a bit more than that, meantime the stockprice has risen cos their profits rise cos fastfood is convenient and they use smart marketing. There you go! ..oh i forgot the smile.. Convenience is all about closeby and/or parking, the presentation and wrapping, how the food comes across and smells, what goes on behind and before the counter. It has got hardly anything to do with foodquality.

Very true. My father worked for a while in Singapore where A&W is known for their world famous orange juice (root beer doesn't sell very well over there)! As for Burger King, I think they are one of the worst fast food (not quite as bad a Mc Donalds though) and try to avoid eating there whenever possible.

[Sicofonte]

When you know how to cook, and what to cook, it is sad to go out for dinner, at least when going to an american-style restaurant. Of course, McD and BK are not restaurants, are just human-powered selling machines of artificial prefabricated chemical "food".

Have you ever compared a "burger" (the strange meat) of those places with a slice of chopped beef or veal made by yours?. It is just... different. The color, the taste, the smell... I CAN'T believe that that burgers are beef, it is not possible.

They have addictive additives! American fastfood is drugfood.


¡ Una paella de conejo !
¡ Una barbacoa de cabrito y verduras !
¡ Un arroz con costra !
¡ Un gazpacho andaluz !
¡ Unos espaguetis boloñesa !
¡ Unos callos a la madrileña !
¡ Un solomillo de ternera con ensalada aliñada !
¡ Unos huevos con guisantes y chorizo !
¡ Una fabada asturiana !

¡ JAMÓN SERRANO !


I do love Japanesse, Chinesse, Italian, Mexican, Thai, Korean, Hindu and others kind of traditional cuisine, but not American nor English, just because I have never found nothing that could be called cuisine comming from that places (american burgers are like photocopies, and English have only... fish and chips, and jacket potatoes? ).

Yes, it's called grease from animal fat and lots of it too.

English have loads of great food!

We've got bangers and mash, the best beef in the world, all the best puddings like rhubarb crumble and all that, english food is legendary!
