Anybody try the Burger King Big King XL?

[MaltedHopsFrenzy]

Okay had one for dinner last night.

not bad at all. I’m friends with the manager so they made me a fresh one.

i think that is the key. Always come up with some excuse why you need a fresh one instead of one thats been sitting on the heating
pad for who knows how long.

The key to getting fresh fries is this say “ is it possible for me to get the french fries with no salt”?

always ask in a question form. This requires them to acknowledge you. Otherwise they mumble some shit and ignore your
request.

then once you get your fries add in your own salt. I travel with my own salt now. Instead of fastfood salt I use himalayin salt

believe it or not himalayin salt is actually good for you I put in my water to balance my PH levels

When I was 16 I worked at Mickey D's for about 6 weeks. Started on Lot & Lobby cleaning table's and crap, then got "promoted" to fries. You would cook a whole fry basket at a time, then dump them out of the fryer into a big heated hopper and shake salt on the whole thing. Then the countdown begins. You might get fresh, you might get 15 minutes old, which is what I think the timer was set for.

So, when someone thought they were going to be cute and ask for no salt thinking they were going to get fresh, here's what I would do. Take an order's worth out of the pile in one of the hoppers, put it back in the fryer for like 30 seconds - BAM! There's your fresh order of no salt fries.....

Big Bear, so does it taste like a Big Mac?

Many people have tried and failed to duplicate the Big Mac.

[PharaohUB]

Burger King's business model has been to simply ride on the back of McDonalds advertising. Whatever McDonalds did and spent a lot advertising, BK would do a version like this Big Mac thing.

It's played out. McDonalds not dominate enough with the gimic food promos anymore for the model.

Interesting. Did not know that. Learn a new thing every day. I can see it though.

big mac must taste different in UK

all you taste is bun, some sauce and leftover lettuce that fell out

PASS


here is what you do:

order 2 double cheeseburgers with big mac sauce

remove one of the buns

place the patties together


much cheaper, much better, much more MEAT

[GUMMO77]

Just with the national advertising alone... I really thought BK was doing better?

I hardly eat fast food... but IMO here in the Detroit area.... you can taste a big difference in BK over McDonalds. The meat just tastes better... seems like more quality. Of course... it is fast food though

I think Wendy's past them in sales a few years back.

BK headquarters is in Miami and they had some weird ideas a few years back when I lived there. They must test their products just around that area ... but I remember some strange brunch menu that lasted a week.

[gauchojake]

Back in the day there was a big uproar about BK using beef raised in fields that were cleared when Brazil was decimating the rainforest. We used to call the inevitable shit you would have to take the "rainforest rumble"

Also Daggles I thought of you when I saw this

I'd say now that mcdonalds is using fresh beef for the QP it is incomparable to any other major fast food chain. Not even a fair contest at that point. Fresh always beats frozen.

So many basic fat asses on this forum. Jesus Christ guys, get it together.

Who eats fast food anymore? Poor people. That's who.

Your plan is idiotic.

Double cheeseburgers don't come with: big mac sauce, crisp lettuce, & onions.

What do you do with the bun you removed?

[bobbywaves]

In places like Costa Rica, fast food like McDonalds is very expensive.

No mobile app coupons accepted when I was in Costa Rica, only rich people ate there.

[blap10]

BK's around me are always empty. I don't see them lasting a whole lot longer. It's a shame cause I actually used to enjoy their food when I was younger.

Here is what Burger King did in New Zealand as soon the "Big Mac" trademark was ruled invalid.





Kind of funny of course... but it's an example of what bottom feeding low lifes the company is directed by.

Seriously, parasite off another company for 20 years, then troll them about your own blatant me-too-ism. What jerks they are and always have been.

Their Aussie slogan is even "The Burgers Are Better..." their main slogan even talks about McDonalds.

For one thing you havent got a clue,fast food isnt cheap at all. So get out off that high horse for a second.

[brooks85]

I usually try new items just for curiosity. I challenge anyone to try the new mcdonalds QP and tell me it's not the best fast food burger out there.


get the "quarter ham" then add the good cheese, not the yellow shit that comes on it normally, and big mac sauce

[NYproGambler]

you can always ask fresh patties... tell them you want patties off the broiler and like someone mentioned already, fries with no salt.

I use to eat the quarter pounder a lot when I was probably.... 12-17 years old. I'm 41 now... haven't tried it with the "fresh meat"... it was probably frozen back then.

The only thing I remember... yes it was bigger... was it officially a 1/4 pounder? Sometimes it looked bigger... sometimes it didn't.

I mean... let's face it... these fast food chains need something "special" in order for you to be drawn back. Oddly enough... my niece is really young... and all her friends talk about these Nacho Cheese Fries at Taco Bell. From what I understand... Taco Bell intentionally stops the product for a month or so... and then brings it back. Why? Even Taco Bell knows that it's a hit... but why stop it? There must be some sort of consumer formula being used? I never understood why you would stop production of something that works?

I was actually trying to remember the last hamburger I ate from a McDonalds or BK and it's been 20 years minimum. In N Out or The Habit or Shake Shack

[HurryUpAndDrink]

McDonalds meat has human DNA on it... PASS

yeah I used to walk to Mcd's all the time when I was kid. I stopped eating there around the time I was a 18 cause local burger placed opened and it was a lot better.

I tried mcdonalds new chicken sandwich in my 20's but I didn't have a burger from there for over a decade. I tried first one in a long time last year when they announced the fresh beef. It's good and only $3.49 around me.





I haven't had those nacho fries but I have heard people like them a lot. I don't know why the stop them. I know KFC had that Zinger spicy sandwich which was awesome. They got rid of it and replaced it with some other one that isn't nearly as good.

You can add big Mac sauce to them you fukkin soyboy

Give the extra bun to dog or birds

All you miss out on is iceberg lettuce that falls off anyway...

You get 2 extra patties and cheaper MY WAY

I love your approach Rudy, my orders are usually custom made

For example... at McDs I usually ask for 3-4 cheeseburgers with 2 patties and extra pickles

1000 island sauce is nice but for me, a real burger has ketchup/mustard... extremely low mayo if you dowse in it you ruin it

I like Whoppers. but I go for the Texan Whopper with 3 patties and extra pickles


I eat at these places once every month so, luckily, otherwise I would balloon up

You guys get Wendys over their, we use to have it here but they closed them down.

Same here mate! Closed down 2-3 years ago... it wasn't as successful and people lost interest quickly

People prefer Carl's Jr... I used to, but no longer, quality has gone downhill. BK Whopper is better than anything Carl's has to offer imo.


Of course, I'd rather have Smashburger, Johnny Rockets or some of the gastropubs across the country which always offer nice burgers + home brews

[convick]

Damn right. Chaoz is out of touch about so many things. It’s not like back 15-20 years ago. I remember the Jumbo Jack was like 1 dollar. Burger King breakfast was 2 sandwiches for 2.22.

Everything now is expensive as hell. Sometimes just as expensive as eating at a nice diner. Much less healthy too!

As to who eats fast food... it’s not just the poor it’s the lazy!

Oh cool,never heard of Smash Burger to be honest.

Excatly, not many cheap places around anymore. Well mind you the greasy spoons are actually cheaper then McDonald's now and you get alot more.
