  • Poll closed .
Here in Forest Lake mn where I live BK, Wendys, McD's are all within spitting distance of eachother yhea there is a Culvers close to BK a White Caste couple loogys up the street but for the poll I posted just Bk, Wendys, and Mickey D's. no in and outs no sonics no fatburgers no jack in the box no dirty sanchez double cheez with spicy guac......just the three I orginally listed.

Well YOU don't control the internets, so :spit:

Boca Burger from Bakers!
actually, those suck
 
I go back and fourth between wendy's and BK, but my preference is BK. In the last two years, I've been to McDonald's once, a week or two ago. My wife was driving me nuts for a fruit and yogurt parfait, so I conceded. I got a snack wrap.

OT, but still relevant: I cannot stand fast food fries of any kind. BK, Sonic, Wendy's; none of them ever taste good to me. at all.
 
You must be getting the 5 or 7 layer burrito if that`s the case. Those things could but an elephant on their @$$ :smug:

You guessed it, it's the 5-layer burrito. Actually I've found I can do OK at Taco Bell as long as I avoid anything with that toxic nacho cheese of theirs. Which usually means the chicken burrito or tacos of some kind. When money's tight and the hour is late, those $2 meal deals are pretty hard to pass by.

I eat the 5 layer burrito all the time (beans instead of meat, of course), and never have tummy troubles. Maybe its toxic beef?
The other thing I used to get all the time was the Triple Layer Nachos, though the one by my house won't make them anymore.
 
Not anymore its not.

They dropped the flame broiled part of "Home of the Flame Broiled Whopper" at least 6 months ago.

Last time I ate there I saw them putting the patties in a giant microwave. Yuck,

Really? Its been over 5 years since Ive worked there, so I wouldnt really know, but I thought that flame broiler was their pride & joy. Putting random things on it to get all burnt up was fun.

They were putting them in microwaves back in 1988 when I worked there. We'd cook the patty, then prep the burger with the trimmings and put it in the microwave for about 10 seconds. I cant remember why though. Their website is still saying things are flamed broiled as well.
 
Not only do I feel that BK makes a superior burger to McDonald's, I still have a psychological preference towards The King for keeping their double cheeseburger at $.99 rather than their golden arches counter-part who gave us the inferior McDouble and then decided to charge more for an actual double cheeseburger.

You just know there was a bean counter somewhere in the Mickey D's corporate chain who found out the corporation would save $2.5 million a year by leaving off the second slice of cheese. :rolleyes:

Same here. Went to BK, got a bacon-double cheez, stood at counter and watched. The bottom bun, patties, cheese and bacon all went into the microwave. Timer goes, top bun goes on, and it gets wrapped. Kind of a disappointment. It explained why sometimes the burgers feel a little soggy. Unfortunately, it was still delicious.

I voted for Wendy's, but the Double Stack is not $0.99 anymore. However, I would rather spend the extra $0.20, or whatever it is, for the Double Stack at Wendy's than any $1 cheezburger out there.

Yeah, they do this to ensure the cheese gets melted, but also to give the patty a little extra warmth before being served, providing the illusion that it is still hot off the broiler, even though its been sitting in a pan of its own fat for the last 40 minutes (the amount of time a batch of burger patties are allowed to be kept for before being thrown out).
