hello everyone this is running on empty food review
well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone watching
this is running on empty food review i'm your host the report of the week
thanks for tuning in we have a new well this is
this is a new item but it's like yeah sometimes you'll get this when it comes
down to the main fast food chains uh you know how it is like sometimes
this is burger king of course they'll have an item a couple years ago
and i guess it'll do good i guess it'll be a
success or maybe they're feeling like they're just just feeling cruel
and it's terrible but they want to bring it back for another round
and uh it's just they resurrected an old item here
but i was looking this is one of their king burgers which they've had
you know this is a lineup that they've had going for 2016
since 2016 so for four years and uh it's it's very well known at this point
where this is their series of big burgers two patties usually
um it's supposed to just have some extra toppings and extra stuff
it's supposed to have a certain theme and they'll do different ones i remember
they have like the bacon king they have the uh i don't know what he
even was there's like some sort of western cowboy type of burger
they had the mushroom king they have well now they have the steakhouse
king and they had this originally back in 2017 and i was actually checking my
review of it back then because i tried it already
years ago and i was a fan of it now back in 2017 i was me and burger
king were having a difficult time because when they first released the
king lineup of sandwiches i was not a fan of it at all i remember
the first time i had one of those king burgers it was dreadful
and i was getting to the point where i was getting very disillusioned with
burger king so it was like one bad release after the next after the
next and just those king sandwiches were not working for me
but then when i tried the steakhouse king that was the first one that was
actually decent so hopefully it'll still be good um
burger king has redeemed themselves a bit over the years
so that's good and hopefully it'll keep going in the right direction
um the steakhouse king i really had to write it down because i knew otherwise
if i didn't i would sit here and i'd get confused and i'd probably
call it the smokehouse king over and over but no it's a steakhouse
king so this is like you know when you go to the steakhouse
you know you can some people get this instead of their filet mignon or
infamous new york strip steak you know the steakhouse king
six dollars for the sandwich so um if you want to just get it a la carte at
six dollars here's what it has on it uh two flame
grilled beef patties which is pretty standard
for by these these king type sandwiches american cheese uh crispy onion strings
so it says crispy little fried onion strings you'll see them
uh it's got mayo steakhouse sauce and bacon
last i remember back in 2017 i think it was like
the steakhouse sauce reminded me of a1 sauce but we'll see how it's
changed see right there they have the z on it for uh
steakhouse king let's unravel see what we got
yeah i was feeling very hungry today to tell you the truth i was um
i don't know when i woke up i was feeling famished and you know most of
the time like i had had something to eat but i don't know it's just one of those
days you ever get it where it's like you're really hungry and it's just i
don't know you need something to munch on
so what i did is because i know in terms of these reviews if you want to be
impartial don't really do the review like when you're starving
because otherwise i think you're just going to be glad to eat something
and it might skew it a little bit you're just gonna be thankful to get some food
so i had a little bit of a snack beforehand and now it's much better
so i think now we'll be able to examine this with a little more impartiality
so anyway here's our burger
i don't know if you could hear that but motorcycle
racing by
and you can see that is the infamous the infamous
uh steakhouse sauce all right so that's where all the secrets are
now you can get this with just one patty so keep that in mind
um but there it is there's me and the the uh
the borger right there
why not right and let's let's unravel this let's see what we got
now you can get this with one patty or two and i just got it with one patty but
you can see what it's got i should have mentioned that earlier a
lot of people get it with two patties but i was just feeling
one today you can see the fried onion strings you can see the sauce the bacon
the american cheese right there and on the top bun you can see some more of
those onion strips and then a little bit of
mayo one thing that i do like about burger
king now to tell you the truth is early on with these sandwiches they
would really just they would go all out with the mayo i mean it would
just tons and tons and tons and i think they've gotten a little bit
better with that so um that always works so anyway that's what the steakhouse
king is six bucks could you imagine if i just ended the
video right there i didn't even really just show you what it looks like but
now we're going to try it out we're going to uh take a couple bites out of
it and we'll see how it is so that's the steakhouse king from
burger king how's it holding up over the years how is it this time around let's
find out it's going in
oh
we'll take a couple more bites take one right here where all the sauce is
i'm going to take two more bites
hope everyone's doing okay today i know things are getting things are still
pretty crazy out there in the world but hope you're hanging in there and hope
you're doing good enough anyway
so setting this up setting the water up there i spilled a lot of it but
i had to refill it and just a little more careful this time
i was worried otherwise i was just getting like some sort of fit so i knew
and i knew once i did that i was kind of i was setting myself up for disaster so
i was really trying to contain myself today because otherwise i know
i'm getting some weird fit and i would knock it over and
and um it would be it would be one for the ages but not necessarily in a good
way yeah the uh steakhouse king oh
here's that big segway is it one for the ages it's pretty good
for what it is i real0ly can't complain um burger king has definitely gotten
like we were saying earlier has gotten a lot better with these uh
king burgers i mean they've really they had their issues early on like we
talked about and there was just there was like a
disproportionate amount of mayo and it was really bad
but it's gotten a lot better remember early on also the beef was just i don't
know something something wrong with it
and it was like over and over it was so bad but it's gotten a lot better over
the years and they've definitely seen where they
where they went wrong and they they've made adjustments as a
result and that's good that's what a good place
should do learn from your mistakes right there's nothing wrong with screwing up
as long as you're gonna you're gonna learn from it
you're gonna just see where you went wrong and go from there but this is a
good burger i'm a fan of it beef of course is their flame grilled um
beef patty they're still even though it's just one patty
again it's thick enough to the point where that's all that i personally need
now some people like the two patties i get that
but i still i think the one patty even provides enough uh just
meat meat the beefy flavor i just like it um it's so juicy still flavorful it's
still good um the bacon the bacon i'm glad that
they put a good amount of it on to tell you the truth
again in the past i know that they've just put like the most pathetic
sad looking little half strip of bacon on it
but i mean again i could see at least like three strips of bacon maybe even
four in there which is good i like that
there's also a lot of those um crispy onions as well they really did
not they didn't go light on the toppings
which is good and that's exactly what i want to see it's loaded with the
toppings so the bacon is good as a nice little
crisp to it it also works well with that crunch of course that the onions provide
as well and the onions are flavorful they're
fatty they're fried um but they sold this they still taste
good and it works well um the american cheese is there
and it's not really the star of the show it's just kind of there um but the one
thing that i really do want to mention is the uh steakhouse sauce
i'm a fan of it it's got this it reminds me again of like a1 the steak sauce but
it's still a little different it's like a real tangy uh steak sauce
it's got this real tang to it that i notice um just very
it's like again it's like a1 steak sauce but even tangier
and i like it though i like it because it's just this nice
i don't know it works i wouldn't necessarily describe it as like a
barbecue sauce so it has some some types of barbecue qualities but
again it's more of like your a1 uh steak sauce but again it's got this
potent tang to it but it really works it ties everything
together it just really works if the beef it works with those onion strings
works with the bacon the mayo isn't overwhelming either
it gives it a little more moisture but it really isn't even needed but
it still works um and the cheese is decent as well
so i'm a fan of it i think it's a good burger
it's not like a cowboy western burger really
um but i do like that that steak sauce that's on it it just works this time
around so i would say it's even better than the
one that i had back in 2017. in 2017 i gave it a 7 out of 10. um but
this one is definitely in the 8 out of 10 range
i think i definitely bump it up at least to an 8.1 out of 10.
yeah by no means is it perfect it's still just a burger king sandwich
but it's good for what it is and i really like the sauce so i would
recommend it so if you're if you're feeling it i say give it a
shot go out and try it if you want the steakhouse king from burger king six
bucks on its own that's all that i have for you ladies
and gentlemen i'm your host the report of the week
trying out the uh steakhouse king from burger king be safe be healthy
and do take care i'll see you again in a couple days with another video
take care everyone
