Anyone who could be so nutritionally immature, and lack the fortitude to resist pleasuring their palate at the expense of others and the environment should be ashamed of themselves.

Okay, I don't eat there anyway (because that shit is disgusting), but now I know I will never set foot in a Burger King. I didn't realize they were a subsidiary of Goldmann-Sachs (the C-level executives and board members of whichI woudl gladly line up against a wall and shoot for treason).

Whoppers are very good. I like that charcoal taste.
They'd be much better if Burger King would torture the cows first.

I despise BK but I cannot imagine telling other people it's supposedly too disgusting for them.

Food snobbery is a big issue at the DUmp. If you aren't eating free range tofu wheat eggs 3 times a day they'll look down their noses at you.

Mmmmmm, Whoppers.  I wish they still called their fish sandwich the Whaler, though!

Yeah, I remember Whalers. They changed the name?

Probably some environmental wacko concern.

I have, by the way, eaten whale meat several times in Japan, and it's excellent.

Surprisingly it was very lean, and, as I recall, not especially expensive.

Yeah, I believe it's been the "Big Fish Sandwich" for several years now.  It did go from being a square portion served on a round Whopper bun to a more fillet-like shape served on a torpedo roll, though, so the sandwich changed as well as the name.

From a fillet to a fish stick?  Sounds like it should be called the Minnow, cooked by Gilligan, served by the Skipper. :whistling: ("cause calling it a Whale would be a whopper)

Full disclosure:  My roommate from Thailand use to absolutely love Booga King.  And I really did try to get his pronunciation right.

I haven't eaten in a BK in 24 years....because the strawberry blonde manager with the Dolly Parton breast got married and moved away. :-)

That's why I don't go to the SuperCuts in Cool Springs.  The little red haired girl doesn't work there anymore. :(

Ya know what makes me upset about BK (and McD's, and Wendy's, and the rest of them?)

I can't get a decent meal for under $10 anymore unless I hit the dollar menu, and the surly ****sticks behind the counter can't seem to understand what HOT french fries taste like.

Five Guys, people.  Every time I travel to Manch-Vegas, I make a trip there.

For some reason, I have an urge to eat at BK today.   :whistling:

Don't know if it's nationwide, but they have new fries now.  I was there when they made the changeover at 12:00 sharp last Wed.  They're thicker than the old ones/McD's.  Very good when hot. 

You know, it's been awhile since I've had a fish sandwich.  I think I'll hit BK for lunch.  Cherokee Prog can go straight to hell.

Just for that, if there were a BK in town, I'd leave work to go there.

Wendy's used to have the best fries in the business. Now they truly suck. I hope that fat chick on TV makes them go back to the old style.

Five Guys is okay, I guess, but you spend closer to 15 or 20, and have to eat your burger with a knife and fork after if falls apart.

Five Guys, people.  Every time I travel to Manch-Vegas, I make a trip there.

And have you ever eaten at a Wild Willy's locally?  The one time I did, aside from the wait, I found the product (fries and burger) far superior to any thing you could hope to get from Wendy, The King, or, Golden Arches. 

And this is from a guy who ate a buck's worth of Royal Castle burgers when Nixon was elected.  (Nixon had said during the campaign "what this country needs is a good nickle hamburg", and the RC chain took him up on it on the day of his inauguration. )  Math challenged folk will note that I consumed twenty Royal Castle hamburgers which was not all that tough considering you could read the Wall Street Journal through their patty and the bun wasn't anything to write home about either.   Those unfamiliar with Royal Castle (Fla. chain in the 60's) might know a similar chain White Castle which is equally as bad.

Possibly the best resturant burger I ever had was in the East Village but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the place.
