I'm very excited to get my first Big King XL. Maybe tomorrow if I can escape the quarantine brutesquads.



I feel that fauxmacs should be a much larger part of the fastfood rainbow.

So were you disappointed? I was.

I also got onion rings on the side because bk fries suck and they gave me zesty sauce. I thought they stopped carrying that? Was glad to see it anyhow.

There was a supply shortage early on during the COVID-pocalyse and a lot of locations ran out of it for a while. I think some locations made it sound permanent but, for instance, my local BK never ran out.

Sweet Baby Rays makes a zesty sauce now that’s pretty good. Everyone coming after the one thing BK has going for it.

I have a bottle of this at home after BK ruined their Zesty sauce. It's pretty drat close and worth giving a shot.

Also, here's BK's new Hand Breaded Chicken Sandwich. Potato Bun, Deli Pickles and Signature Sauce (Mayonnaise with a dash of some random seasoning, I'm sure). Available in regular or spicy.

The most boring fast food item I've ever eaten.

Completely loving lame in every regard.

When I was a kid I lived for when this thing would reappear, it was my own personal McRib. I still haven't gotten one, because deep down I know it's not going to live up to my expectations.

Has anyone tried the Whopper Melt yet?

Two Whopper patties w/ cheese, on toasted Sourdough with carmelized onions and Stacker sauce (Which I think is basically the same thing as Big Mac sauce?).

Yeah it was "we have the Popeyes Chicken sandwich at home ". Hopefully the new one isn't a step back in quality since it has nice variations like Bacon & Swiss and BBQ Bacon & Cheese.

Yeah they've always had two burger sizes. Sometime during COVID their regular burgers shrank to being basically a glorified slider. Anything not based on the Whopper isn't worth fooling with any more. They're absurdly tiny.

Well I think it largely depends on how busy they are. McDonald's always uses both, it seems. The Wendy's here used both pre-COVID, rarely uses the first one now. The Burger King has literally never used the first window in the 16 years I've lived in this town.

Quick Google search says...

"The King Yeti Super One Pound Beef Burger features four signature beef patties layered with six fresh onion slices, six slices of mellow Gouda cheese, pickles, and Caesar sauce made with a combination of Parmesan cheese and Camembert cheese, all sandwiched between a lightly toasted sesame seed bun."

I dunno, might be alright.

I've been saying for years they need to bring back the BK Broilers. Though the superior version was the one that came with just BBQ sauce, onions and pickles.

could probably market it as an "old-fashioned" whopper. anyone else remember when burger king used to put mustard on their burgers? pretty sure i remember bk burgers having mustard when i was a kid

They still do if you get a cheeseburger/double cheeseburger type sandwich. Nothing Whopper branded ever came with mustard.

You don't get mustard on a whopper typically, I guess you could ask for it, but I wouldn't.

I have on occasion gotten a Whopper, no mayo add mustard. It's a nice change of pace, but it works best on a Double.

DQ, Sonic and Freddy's all also have Onion Rings. Claiming BK has the best fast food onion ring is complete madness. They're extremely mid, they're just elevated by the excellent Zesty sauce. That combined with them being hands down better than their fries gets them overvalued.

Don't believe me? Try eating them without any Zesty sauce, you'll probably not even manage to finish them.

Onion rings are a vehicle for the sauce as much as anything imo.

This is where you're wrong, a good onion ring doesn't need any kind of sauce. See Freddy's or Culver's.
