So many particulars. So many questions.
A bit daft, but I'm not averse to putting cheese inside the patty. Better melted on top an all, but inside would be a wonderful surprise (so long as its not too hot).

I don't get my McDonanlds don't do more bigger burgers. I'd happily have a double quarter pounder most times!
Hands up those who aren't MacDonalds snobs.

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.
I concur 100% - from one of my earlier reviews -->
Just been back to Honest for their Ribman special.... comes Ribman hot sauce...... Conclusion - Burgers do not need hot sauce.

I was just about to go out to buy food for dinner. I've got to drive very near to KFC to get there. Bad thoughts.

best variant zinger tower they ever did was served with a blue cheese sauce. Propernice
I would rate BK burgers as pretty good, and am a massive fan of the KFC zinger burger 
. I would gladly eat meals from either place any day (and would spend all day looking forward to it too...)

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 DotCommunist
So many particulars. So many questions.
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?

That does look pretty good. But the patties....they're all the same, all flat and tasteless. If that burger was done with a nice proper fresh patty then things would be awesome.

American/Processed cheese on burgers is one of my vices. It's so wrong yet so right.It means plastic cheese slice - I know it sounds odd but many burger fanatics (like many of us here!
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
Nah, people can put what they want in - I've had some incredible burgers with weird shit in, experimenting is all good imo.
might cycle down there at the weekend and get a pizza burger...

So many particulars. So many questions.
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.

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.
DotCommunist said:
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.

There's a zinger TOWER burger?
