    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Yeah, BK really has something with the Angus, which is why I started the thread; far better (IMHO) then what others are cooking up at this moment.

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Backyard Burgers here in the metro seems to be not just a KC thing, but also not super widely spread. Not bad.

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    You know, a local Denny's has started doing drive through. How does that work? Driver: I'd like some Belgian Waffles, a side of hashbrowns, and some sausages.. oh, and orange juice Machine: Your total is $9.85, pull around please, we'll loan you the syrup jar for a short while. Argh! :)

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    You know, I realized why I brought this thread up.. went through BK today and had the Angus burger w/bacon & cheese.. easily better then anything McD's puts on their menu.. then I realized.. for $5.50 a sandwhich, it sure should be ;)

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    As to the Pizza/fast, I don't know if this is in everyone's area, but we now have "combo" stores.. ie "Pizza Hut/KFC" where you can drive through and order chicken.. or pizza. We also have some "Pizza Hut/Taco Bell" combo stores where you can get a Taco.. and some breadsticks (or pizza) in the...

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    What's funny is that for all the fast foods, pizza never came up (Papa Johns, Dominos, Little Ceaser's, Sbarro's, Pizza Hut, Pizza Shoppe, Godfathers, etc.)

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    There is something strange about the sauce or whatever they use there.. yeah, disgusting.. but they have that weird appeal.

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    The moment McDonalds advertised their "new" Chicken nuggest as now: "Improved! Now all chicken w/White meat!" You knew the jig was up.

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Better then it used to be. You can ask for the nutritional menu from them (they have to provide it) the old McNuggest had part fish in them ;)

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Backyard Burger's is the local chain that seems to have that "getto burger" kind of thing down pat.

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Roy Rogers acquired Hardees a while back, and I think they are the same now.. not sure. Is Church's chicken a regional one?

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Wow.. I haven't seen a Taco Beuno in a long while. Maybe tomorrow I'll try "Baja Fresh" I hear they are decent. They sounded like mall food, of course, until I saw a storefront for them.. I officially had the worst pizza I've ever eaten today, though (Costco) talk about greasy.. you...

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Yeah, I think that's why Wendy's is growing.. you can get a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for .99 cents, combine with a small drink at .69 and fries .99, and you've got a meal @ 2.69.. lots of people are doing the "value meal" but I'll tell you, McD's value meals are terrible.. the McChicken is hard to...

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    My wife, being born in Jamaica, grew up after 5 in Miami, 3/4 Chinese, often jokes that she would never go to a seafood restaurant in the midwest. That having been said, she won't eat seafood at all anyway, considering her parents seemingly eat it every meal..

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    That and you have to buy the mug when you go, almost a rule :) That having been said, they also make one of the better full-length chilidogs on the market.

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Arby's has the best lunch deal of the bunch too.. 5 Arby's Roast Beef Sandwiches for $5. Hard to beat that.. and they are good, fresh cut meat, which is the joke of their new commercials "let me show you something you won't see at Subway.. a MEAT SLICER!" :)

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Yep, that's why the thread.. plenty here in KC, but lots of other places they are going out of style.. I think the "playland" environment at mcdonalds attracts the weekend fathers, etc. (hell, wasn't there a movie about exactly that with Paul Reiser?) There are several chains that used to be...

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    I totally gave up on Subway a while back.. though I do like Mr. Goodcents, who has a much better meatball sandwich.

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Some still do.. there is one not far from us that still makes the old style fries.. and they still keep the "Fried" above thier building ;) Most of BK's stuff is lacking, but their Angus burger is very, very good. My wife & I enjoy Wendy's far more then McD's, if only for the value.. the...

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Wendy's does have a better salad then McD's, which has the worst salad immaginable. I may be alone, but I hate everyone's fries (can't eat any of them anymore anyway) but I always love the really thick potato-wedge Kentucky FRIED Chicken fries ;) (yes, FRIED CHICKEN, darnit.. luckily...

    What's wrong with Burger King?

    Slate raised the question and I have to ask as well: http://slate.msn.com/id/2102906 I eat out for lunch most days, and admittedly, I eat mostly Salads.. I will tell you, for fast food Salad, BK just slaughters everyone else local.. fresher vegetables, more there, better meat.. I tried...
