One of my readers, Jack, unearthed this little nugget:
Burger King is testing Breakfast Burritos out in Syracuse. There's a value-priced Sausage Burrito for $1 and a bigger Southwest Burrito for $2.49.
In addition to tipping me off to the new burritos, Jack also compared them to a McDonald's breakfast burrito complete with photos and comments which you can check out after the jump.
The Sausage Burrito comes with egg, sausage, American cheese, and peppers (compared to McDonald's Sausage Burrito which contains scrambled eggs, American cheese, onions, sausage and peppers) while the Southwest Burrito features egg, sausage, American cheese, salsa, onions, and hash browns (which were conspicuously missing from Jack''s burrito).
For size comparison, Jack took this shot:
McDonald's Sausage Burrito is on the left, the Burger King Sausage Burrito in the middle, and Southwestern Burrito on the right.

Insofar as prices, Jack paid $3.89 for Burger King's two Sausage Burrito combo, $3.59 for the Southwestern Burrito Combo, and $5.38 for McDonald's similar two Sausage Burrito combo.

Just by price, McDonald's combo seems to cost a fair bit more than a similar combo at Burger King. Jack preferred the Burger King two Sausage Burrito combo based on the price difference and felt that the Burger King burritos were "a little bigger than the McD's ones" although he gave the nod to McDonald's in the hash browns department.

In terms of how the burritos tasted, however, Jack stated that he had no preference of any one over the others, making this one a bit of a wash.
