Burger King Dethroned

We had a couple of trips out of town recently, one to Jonesboro to pick up our niece who was coming home from college for the weekend and another trip was to West Plains, Mo for some shopping. I decided to talk about both of them here because on both trips we stopped at a Burger King.

To say the least, we were disappointed. My wife and I both remember BK for their “Flame Broiled” burgers and the fact that because they were done that way they had something of a unique taste. No more does this seem to be the case. The Whoppers we had in West Plains could have come off of the grill in any fast food place you can name.

In Jonesboro we tried the new Bacon Double Homestyle Melt. First off the sandwich didn’t look as good in real life as it did on the menu picture. The bacon strips were these teeny little things that weren’t anything like the full size strips that the poster looked like. Finally, the “Flame Broiled” taste just wasn’t there.

In both places, there was a noticeable slightly burned taste in fries indicating that it was very likely past time to change the oil in the fryer.
