Burger King TAXI to victory lasted two weeks

[Tebonas]

I think its due to the Dread Burger days, when a few miners choked on their Wendy meal. People never got over that.

I find it funny that the Burger King fries suck worldwide. Thats true globalization.

[Yegolev]

Starting to think some of you have not actually eaten a Whopper.

[Vinadil]

Junior
Bacon
Cheeseburger... $.99

How can you not love Wendy's with that argument!

And, to the Sonic Fan... yes it is great, we had one come in 2 minutes from our house.  I believe I have gained weight as a direct result.

[Yegolev]

If you want to stray from the strict Burger King discussion that HRose started, I will agree that Sonic is super.  Peppermint milkshakes, carhops, and any place that sells chili dogs gets my vote.  Like Dairy Queen.

You know what I hold against Wendy's?  NO VANILLA.

God I love thread title edits.

[trias_e]

I'm in bizarro world.  My friends and I like Burger King's fries but hate their burgers.

[trias_e]

They have vanilla frosties now...at least here.

Spicy Chicken sandwich + frosty is excellent.

Dipping fries in a frosty is also nice.

[shiznitz]

I love how one can buy 3 4-piece nuggets from the McD dollar menu while the 10-piece is $4.19.  I feel like I am making money.

The Whoper Jr. is far superior and costs the same as your Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger.

ETA -- Sonic pisses me off because I miss those places. We get their damn ads up here all the time and the closest location is downstate....like a multi-hour drive away. I am still tempted to make a Sunday car trip out of it.

Same with me.

But fuck are their breakfasts good.

[Trippy]

Wendy's burgers >>>> BK > McD

I actually like the Big Mac but the composition of The Whopper is what I think of when I think of a burger. I can't even remember what McDonald's Whopper imitation is called but it sucks in comparison. Wendy's, however, doesn't use precooked frozen microwaved (okay probably convection oven reheated) patties and hence they actually taste like meat and are far far superior. Back when I was a Mac head I used to treat myself to Wendy's every year on my annual pilgrimage to the City since there weren't any Wendy's back then on the Peninsula.

McDonald's fries are still the best, though.

[Lantyssa]

I miss whoppers.

[Sauced]

You are all wrong.



Oh, they probably don't have one near you.  Shame, really.

[Trippy]

I miss whoppers.

You know that old Jack in the Box commercial where they are showing a focus group and some of them want Jack in the Box to leave out the bun? Order one like that :D

[HaemishM]

I don't like Wendy's fries, they are too thick for my tastes. I also don't like their burgers much, especially the shitty lettuce they use. But they are worlds better than McD's burgers, which are total shit. Burger King's Double Cheeseburger is good, since they add almost no veggies to the burger to start so you don't have to ask them to take anything off except pickles. BK's fries are better now, since they reverted to the old formula, but still not as good as McD's.

I like Sonic, but not for their burgers, which are average. Their chicken finger basket is excellent, as are their tater tots and when you really want well-deserved indigestion, chilli frito pie. Their coneys and chili-slathered hot dogs are good, as are their speciality burgers such as adding chili to a burger.

Backyard Burger still has the best burgers, though.

[Slayerik]

Well if we are talking about burger places to try that you probably don't have one near you, if you are in Michigan look for Halo Burger.

I've never seen a person eat one and not go..."damn, that was a good burger."

[Sauced]

Backyard Burger still has the best burgers, though.

Been about 10 years since I was near one of these places, but I probably would have agreed back then at least.

[Wolf]

We don't have Burger King either. I can walk to THREE McDonalds(es?) in 5 minutes from my office and we don't have Burger King. And I fucking love the whooper. What's up with that?

We do have KFC though, so suck it Italy!

[Hoax]

I have two in-and-out doubles otw to my work as I speak.  For once Cali doesn't get the total shaft in the American food dept!  Holla!

[schild]

fuckit

I'm getting in and out on the way home. I feel like shit, but those burgers are AWESOME.

[Miasma]

I can't even remember what McDonald's Whopper imitation is called but it sucks in comparison.

Think it was the Big Xtra or something, Burger King also had the Big King which was a Big Mac rip off.  Those both sucked.  I forgot about Wendy's fries, those are pretty good too.

I don't know of half the burger joints you guys are talking about, that's probably for the best.

[CmdrSlack]

If you're talking local burger joints then I have to say that Milo's in Birmingham, AL has a damn tasty burger.

The problem with Burger King is production quality and [perceived] cleanliness.  I don't think I've ever seen a whopper that didn't look like it was sat on before I got it.  The bun is always squished, the wrapping looks like crap, and even the bags seem cheap and low rent.  The insides of those places never look clean, either. 

This is how I imagine the workers there:




McDonald's tastes like shit, but  you don't feel like you're going to catch ecoli when you go there.

[Yegolev]

I don't think I've ever seen a whopper that didn't look like it was sat on before I got it.

Hell, that's the main reason I like them.  They are so sloppy that you can almost drink them.

Milo's, those are good.  I lived behind a Milo's for a while.  Not as good as Backyard Burgers.  If I smell a Backyard Burgers while driving, I often swerve around while trying to locate it.

We don't have the In-N-Outs... well played.

[Nonentity]

I'd like to think that by being right in the middle of Southern California, I have a pretty good selection.

I have the usual suspects (Burger King, Wendy's, McDonalds) - also, we have the West Coast specific chains (In 'n Out, Tommy's).

And holy shit, Tommy's burgers are awesome, if you're a chili fan. They make their chili with steer meat, and it is thick and awesome.

One thing I'm sad about though, and that is there used to be a Fatburger near here, but they closed down.

For straight up burger quality at a fast food-esque restaurant, you cannot beat Fatburger. Holy shit, they are amazing.

[Falconeer]

We do have KFC though, so suck it Italy!

Yeah, imagine my disappointment when in 1993 I found KFC in Budapest. Suck it Italy.

[naum]

Milo's is one of the few things I miss about Alabama…

[ahoythematey]

I'm a fan of Whataburger myself.

[Lantyssa]

Whataburger has good burgers and fries while warm.  Unfortunately they seem to cool off faster than an icecube in Hell [Michigan] during winter.

I miss whoppers.

You know that old Jack in the Box commercial where they are showing a focus group and some of them want Jack in the Box to leave out the bun? Order one like that :D

It's not the same.  I've tried.

I don't like Wendy's fries, they are too thick for my tastes.

For me, too.  McDonald's still has the best fries of that style.  Popeye's fries, if crisp, are awesome though.

I like Sonic, but not for their burgers, which are average.

I can't eat Sonic burgers (well, above and beyond dietary restrictions).  When I was little my neighbor's daughter babysat me and forced me to eat the entire gigantic thing before I could have dessert.  I wasn't physically capable of it as it was about twice my normal meal size.  Somehow that imprinted on my brain forever.

The waffle cut fries at Jack in the Box pwn all.

ALL.

[Nonentity]

The waffle cut fries at Jack in the Box pwn all.

ALL.

Uh... I don't know what the Jack in the Box fries are like where you live, but we just have Curly Fries.

I seem to remember there being some waffle cut fries at Jack in the Box long ago, but they were exact duplicates of the ones they sell at Carl's Jr. (Hardee's for you east coasters)

(six dollar burger for the win)

[schild]

I MEANT CARL'S JR.

FUCK.

I ALWAYS CONFUSE THOSE.

GODDAMN FAST FOOD JOINTS.

[CmdrSlack]

So, basically, they own so hard that you can't recall where you got 'em?

Damn, those must be good.  Roofie fries.

[Yegolev]

I like the waffle fries at Chik-fil-a, which may or may not reach outside the Southeast U.S., but I am guessing not.  For fried potatoes, I still have to go with McDonalds.

This Milo's talk has me again wondering what is in that sauce.
