Burger Thread. Yes!

McDonald's Italy have just released the "Gran Chicago Classic" and McDonald's Taiwan some sort of Garden Burger. Also in Netherlands the "Bigger Big Mac" aka Grande Big Mac is there (basically Quarter Pounder style Big Mac).

I don't get my McDonanlds don't do more bigger burgers. I'd happily have a double quarter pounder most times!

I am a bit meh. All the time they keep doing those £1.99 vouchers I pop in more regularly. Usually go for a quarter pounder with cheese, can eat two of them and two fries easy enough.

The breakfast (Sausage and egg muffin) is always good but that is another thread.

They always used to be my second choice, but I had quite a few very average BKs and with the fact it's considerably more on the motorway/transit hubs I've switched allegiances.

That said KFC has seen far more business from me recently, the zinger tower burgers are lush. :cool:

The Zinger box meal is a thing of wonder :D
 
I would rate BK burgers as pretty good, and am a massive fan of the KFC zinger burger :thumbs:. I would gladly eat meals from either place any day (and would spend all day looking forward to it too...) :cool:

I concur that MacDonalds is not great, but once in a while (which usually means once a year, and there are usually children involved as venue of choice...:)) you can get a moreish burger. Quarter pounder with cheese, if cooked freshly, can be very satisfying with 'twister' fries or some kind of limited edition chips, and a vanilla milkshake :thumbs:
 
I can't diss BK completely-their fries for example are head and shoulders above those of their rivals (KFC fries are the shittest). But sometimes the flame grill leaves a burger too dried out, andwho wants a dry burger?
 
It means plastic cheese slice - I know it sounds odd but many burger fanatics (like many of us here!:thumbs:) would swear by processed cheese over a slice of quality cheddar on a top notch burger. The blandness of the cheese and its smooth, melty texture showcase the meat perfectly, allowing it centre-stage, in its well-deserved starring role. :cool:
American/Processed cheese on burgers is one of my vices. It's so wrong yet so right.

However I have found Swiss cheese to be a good substitute. I found this out from ThaT burger that used to let you choose what cheese you wanted:

(not swiss cheese in pic - it's not mine!)

I can't tell you how gutted I am that they have closed. :(
 

This shit HAS to stop. Got no problem with size (apart from not being able to manage it), but I do have a problem with this:
It comprises ten, three quarter-pound cheeseburgers and 11-and-a-half pounds of beef encasing several fast-food treats.

They include a bacon butty, Spam and spaghetti bolognese. In all, the dish comes with about 8.5kg (19lb) of beef – and a side salad of lettuce.

Stop putting shit in the burgers! A burger should be pure unadulterated beef.

WOW that looks DIVINE!!!! Fabulous chips too, and always been a fan of foil wrapping for fast food - it makes me feel so happy inside, like opening up a present on Christmas morning :)
 
personally I wouldn't adulterate a beef pattie, except with onion and/or fresh chilli's (chopped)

once you start down that road with herbs and whatnot then you've basically made beef suasage mix.

burger king is revolting, as I'm sure I've said before. They taste of dishwater.

As I've said previously you want something cooked to order. It's not going to be good if it's been sitting in a heater drying out for hours. You can get good burgers from BK/McD if they are made and get to you with no sitting about.

I would go for pure beef (little seasoning) myself but it does not hurt to mix it up on occasion.

For example I like a bacon roll a lot. Normally just butter and bacon will do me, but the other day I put tomato purree on the bacon. Dunno why I did, it just happened. It was good but I would not ask for it in a cafe
 
variety is as they say, the spice of life.

interesting wrt the home chancing it/eating out dichotomy. I'm far more likely to be adventerous in the confines of my own kitchen. If it doesn't work, I have only myself to blame. Quite conservative when eating out, go with the old stalwarts.

Why I always ask my quarter pounder without sauce. :)
