Burger King.
The perpetual second fiddle to McDonalds in the fast food food chain. Known for the Whopper and the creepy looking king mascot guy. Every childhood visit resulted in a torn paper crown littering the floor of my parent’s car. Can the King take the crown?
First, the extras. Was a difficult decision as to what I was going to order. The steakhouse burger they have has the thicker meat patty, but the toppings don’t tie in with what I am comparing. The Whopper has a thinner patty and matches the topping profile I am going for, but seems like it’s not in the same league as the other burgers I have tested or am planning to test. Given no choice, the Whopper it was. Onion rings with the combo (the zesty sauce is yummy in my tummy), no pickles or onions on the burger. Away to my table I went.
Appearance
Unwrapped the sandwich and found a large round bun, with about 1/3 of the meat patty hanging out. Took the top off and found a sparse covering of lettuce and some not quite totally ripe slice of tomato. Not a good first impression.
Bun To Meat Ratio
The burger was served on a very slightly toasted white sesame seeded bun. The bun started to get a little soggy on the bottom, not sure if it was from grease or the seeming large amounts of mayo that was on the burger
Meat Taste
Like most fast food places, the meat is cooked until there is absolutely no chance of even the frailest person ever to get sick from eating it. This tends to leave the meat dry and tasteless. What a surprise, this is what I got. Larger than normal patty, but thinner than almost anything else out there.
Overall Taste
Bland meat taste, getting soggy bun, too much mayo and sub-par toppings made for a poor dining experience. Mayo overpowered the taste of everything, which isn’t hard when eating a burger patty no thicker than a piece of corrugated cardboard. Not as sloppy as I remember.
Sorry BK, it will be a while before I go to you to satisfy my burger cravings.
