Gamer_U - did you really come in to a thread about a deal at Burger King just to tell us how you don't like fast food?
Whilst I'm appreciative of your concern for our wellbeing, I wonder if there's perhaps something more constructive you could be doing with your day. We all know the food in fast food outlets isn't the healthiest and sometimes people don't wash their hands, but you know what - if I'm hungry and I'm near a Burger King or a McDonalds I'll have a burger.
Moreso if there's a good deal on - so thanks op :smiley:

I have never seen a burger from a fast food chain resemble that picture......usually they are flat, cheese stuck to the wrapper with limp lettuce.
My wife has a limp lettuce......................and I've a soft rubbery carrot..

Worth a try. Sometimes I have fun at staff & demand a new fresh one made as a special order with no mayo. You can always get mayo sashets after. Always seems to work & most turns out better.
Personally I think Burger King kicks Ronnie's backside, but their distribution of outlets is appaling. At least in North London it's truly awful. I would either have to go to Wood Green or South Mims service station. Neither is within 5 miles and I live in Zone 4 of London. On my way I would lose count of how many outlets the Clown has...

Its a Coca Cola/Pepsi Cola scenario situation u have here?.
Coco Cola came first to begin with, & their 'Marketing Strategy' they used from the off (eg. exploiting the then international potential of both the First & then the Second World War/s, etc?), inevitably ensured their powerhouse effect they have around the World today!, McDonalds over the course of its own time has utilized 'similar strategies' for its own part too ... (where as both Pepsi Cola/Pepsi Co., & Burger King not quite so, etc, etc ..... )
Thats why in-part the answer to your 'today' frustration I guess?.

Although BK are at a disadvantage in that there's not an outlet every five minutes like there is in central London.
My friend took me to Five Guys on Upper Street . It was just as sweaty for about three times the price. Definitely a better burger though!

Big King is an awesome burger, might have to grab a couple.
The Mushroom used to be made with 'swiss' (white) cheese, not as impressive with normal red cheese.
My all time BK favourite was the vegatarian Bean Burger, was a mildly spicy breaded patty deep fried and served on a bun with cheese and (I thin) mayo/lettuce - the new version of this isn't as nice.

Recently bought a small 'chicken burger' from BK - I'm not fussy when I need a snack but it was truly disgusting and had to throw it away. Looked and tasted like it was made from potted chicken paste: just a brown mush in breadcrumbs really. Horrible.
Their fries are the best but not impressed by the rest.

Nothing wrong with a BK, you can have it made to how you want it. You can determine how healthy or unhealthy is it. Just go in and ask for a Whopper but say "could you leave out the bun, burger, cheese & sauce please?" You've got yourself a healthy lettuce & tomato salad! ; )

People should really try using the BK App if they think that BK is expensive for standard prices.
It's not the best app, but when it works the prices are better than McDs.
E.G.
Whopper with Regular fries: £2.99
Whopper BOGOF (so effectively £3.99 for two)
2 Whoppers, 2 Cheese Burgers, 4 fries - £9.99 (Family bundle)
And I'm pretty sure these work at the franchise stores as I have used them with no problems at a Service station not far from Crawley. :smiley:

If there was a Five Guys and BK next to each other I'd choose BK.

Can honestly say Patty and Bun on Liverpool Street make terrible burgers IMO. Best burger I've ever had was in a place called Flat Iron (Bleak Street, London) a few years back. Went there for the steak but decided to try the burger when I read a claim of 'best burger in London' written on the wall. I fully expected this to be complete rubbish and was stunned when I tried it.

I personally think the Big King would be much better without the bun in the middle and with only one layer of lettuce.
Every time I've had one the burger buns break up and the contents of the burger just implodes onto the tray/my clothes/beard! Feel like a right mess when I leave...

You already proved yourself to be someone who loves to have loud opinions, but can't be bothered to actually do any research beforehand to come to any kind of informed point of view. So you might want to do some actual background reading on your second serving of nonsense before spouting it again.

What with stuff I take an interest in, which of course you weren't aware of before your knee jerked, I happen to have watched EU ministers talking about that very subject on a food investigation programme, in addition to not wasting my time with wikipedia. Oh wait you didn't actually realise I had a personal interest and just assumed I'd not researched at all. Nevermind then.

Flat Iron is great, burgers are up there with some of the best I've tried and the steaks are excellent and great value (under £10) too. Patty and Bun have always been decent when I've been there but not quite up there with the likes of Lucky Chip, Honest and MEATliquor in my opinion.
For anyone in Birmingham, a trip to Original Patty Men is a must - easily up there up all the best London burger joints.

I can see if you want a quick snack and have not got time, once in a very rare while. But it's obvious some live on this ****. Best of luck. Go and spend a bit of cash on a proper piece of beef, cook it with some onions, some decent cheese (not plastic) and get a 'real' bread roll, not a piece of white pap covered in sesame seeds to disguise it, and you might then realise the BK McLibel and all the other junk pap is ****. Is that why you need a litre of Coke to wash it down?
If not, carry on getting obese. There will be more and more of you soon ...oh, wait a mo?

A burger is not any old burger, to one who cares about it.
I wouldn't eat BK or McD but give me a home cooked premium burger at home, or any half decent restaurant, made from fresh steak quality meat / aberdeen angus british meat not frozen economy patties, yes please.
I'd rather eat there than any fast food chain !
Not a big consumer of this ( can't recall last time I had one acutally, months ago) but when I do, it has to be good.

Why bash up the beef to make a burger, why not just have it as a nice steak with the veg of your choice. Burgers, and I do eat them myself, are for people in a hurry, hence fast food.
daytonaant
13 Feb 16#253
Good point soldier boy.
I agree, it does take time (as it should) to savour a good piece of steak, should not be rushed.
However It does come down to cost and quality answers that question (yes, if you are prepared, but you can still have a "good" premium burger, and doesn't have to be "rushed" either ? Just my opinion.
Likewise you can also have a good traditionally made cornish pasty, and you can have those horrible mass produced branded things, see my point?
Yes a lot of burgers are eaten by people in the name of fast food however. I will not be one of them.
soldierboy001 to daytonaant
13 Feb 16#254
Not quite sure you got my point, I meant that if you had a decent piece of steak at home, for home cooking why mince it up for a burger? when you could enjoy it as a nice steak cooked the way you want.

Coco Cola came first to begin with, & their 'Marketing Strategy' they used from the off (eg. exploiting the then international potential of both the First & then the Second World War/s, etc?), inevitably ensured their powerhouse effect they have around the World today!, McDonalds over the course of its own time has utilized 'similar strategies' for its own part too ... (where as both Pepsi Cola/Pepsi Co., & Burger King not quite so, etc, etc ..... )
Thats why in-part the answer to your 'today' frustration I guess?.
Such is life ..... lol.
Across the flame to give it the marks, then into the broiler to steam, and finished in the microwave before being served.
Was my first ever job ... lasted 3 weeks!
EDIT: FFS! Why in the hell can't I use a URL shortener on HUKD?! Stupid ****. I can't link to the correct website as there's a swear word in it!
I see what you did there :wink:
Although BK are at a disadvantage in that there's not an outlet every five minutes like there is in central London.
My friend took me to Five Guys on Upper Street . It was just as sweaty for about three times the price. Definitely a better burger though!
Starving now
These juicy ribs looks so good...:disappointed:
like this
Bought a bacon cheese burger, chicken royal and a chhc milkshake from Charing Cross, £10.27.
Outrageous, I nearly walked out.
I must say I find GBK hard to beat for a 'clean' burger. Five Guys for a 'dirty' burger, although Bleecker Street is quite fabulous...

The Mushroom used to be made with 'swiss' (white) cheese, not as impressive with normal red cheese.
My all time BK favourite was the vegatarian Bean Burger, was a mildly spicy breaded patty deep fried and served on a bun with cheese and (I thin) mayo/lettuce - the new version of this isn't as nice.
Their fries are the best but not impressed by the rest.
voted hot (unlike the burger last time i visited BK)
(edit : have you ever tried growing a pair and following up what your happy to say on teh internetz, please go to burger king - stand outside the front of it and point and laugh at each person who walks out - and let us know how it goes :smiley: )
Morrisons deli counter do "Ribs of Fire", think there's 16 of them for about £2.50 if my memory serves me right, and they're absolutely amazing.
:smiley:
2. Reach 200000 Views, then start getting paid for ads. Income approximately £300
3. Visit the doctors, and they say you now have cancer. Spend £2000 for treatment
Tastier than McDees but more expensive and impossible to eat as burger (in my local at least)
HEAT!
However, that is the same price a Whopper was.. in 1997!
maxmix
It's not the best app, but when it works the prices are better than McDs.
E.G.
Whopper with Regular fries: £2.99
Whopper BOGOF (so effectively £3.99 for two)
2 Whoppers, 2 Cheese Burgers, 4 fries - £9.99 (Family bundle)
And I'm pretty sure these work at the franchise stores as I have used them with no problems at a Service station not far from Crawley. :smiley:
Best chain burger ever
Was at the Trafford centre yesterday . Burger King closed at 5 minutes to 9.Had to go to McD :-(.
The triple whopper at BK hits the spot when I want a meat feast.
Also the croissan'wich is awesome.

Every time I've had one the burger buns break up and the contents of the burger just implodes onto the tray/my clothes/beard! Feel like a right mess when I leave...
'There' should've been 'their'. It's a common problem.
We stopped going there because of that.
If they can't be 4rsed to fix the machine, we will use the Little Chef next door.
Their burgers are far better anyhow.
BK used to do a Bacon double swiss burger late 90s/early 00s and that was great I thought it may have been similar to that
they have both the Big King and the Big King XXL, i always have an XXL on my day trips to france :smile:
