Consider that rival McDonald's removed their smaller and less meaty double cheeseburger from their Extra Value Menu, in lieu of the McDouble (same sandwich but with only one slice of cheese instead of two), due, in part, to cost concerns, and BK franchisees may have some valid grievances.
As for flavor, nothing overpowered the main feature which was the meat and cheese. There was a nice bit of char flavor to my patties which I love. The cheese wasn't completely melted but that's more aesthetics. If you like meat and cheese and little else, this burger is an excellent value at

It is not a bad deal, but I thought that they were bigger a few years ago? BK needs better fries and they would be back in the race.
ReplyDelete@wouldibuyitagain: I don't know. I'd be scared if they used to be bigger. the current one is a 1/4 pound of meat and 770 calories! I think the picture I took just makes it look smaller.
ReplyDeleteAs for fries, I think their battered fries are polarizing; people either really like them or really hate them.
Hold the ketchup/mustard...ask for BBQ sauce and throw in some onion rings and you've got yourself a beefed up Quarter Pound Rodeo Cheeseburger. I just made myself extremely hungry.
ReplyDeleteOh, and hold the pickles too.
ReplyDelete@Ryan: Haha, that's true! They'll make if anyway you want it. I wonder if the upcharge for onion rings is more than if you just bought onion rings and stuff them inside...
ReplyDelete@ Q ... Not sure. I'd probably just go for the small order of rings and do the stacking myself. I've done it many times in my day.
ReplyDeleteBurger King's fries are really the only reason I go -- the best fries on the East Coast fast food market (Mcdonalds, Wendys, Sonic, BK, Jack in the Box). As for the Double CB, I'm really not a fan. I'd much prefer the McDouble. BK's offering tasted too much like a plain cheeseburger, where the McDouble actually has flavors to it.
ReplyDelete@Cue: McDouble huh? Burger King is gonna go that way as well by April if I remember correctly. They'll be replacing the $1 Double Cheeseburger with a one slice of cheese less McDouble-like item. The $1 Double Cheeseburger will then be at least $1.19 at most locations if not more.
ReplyDeleteit looks like there's only one patty on there.
ReplyDeleteThere's another one embedded in the bottom bun.
ReplyDeleteOf the many buck-per-burger (or close to it) offerings (how long can those last?) the BK buck burger is among my favorites.
ReplyDeletePartially due to taste but also for the BIGNESS of it, around these parts, compared to other firm's offerings.
