These days there is no shortage of places you can go to get yourself that
most important of meals once you leave your
house in the am and since the early 1980s one of those
places has been burger king however while you might be familiar with
some of their current morning offerings there are some things you may not know
about breakfast at the home of the whopper
here are the top 10 untold truths about burger king's breakfast
you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it
introducing breakfast was harder than expected
we asked college kids if they would get up early for a burger king or sandwich
that was too early the year was 1983 and burger king
started serving breakfast in 1972 mcdonald's had introduced the egg
mcmuffin to the world and the breakfast landscape was changed
forever five years later in 1977 they added a
few more items and went national with a complete breakfast menu
in all of their restaurants mcdonald's and burger king have been in
a heated battle for years i want my wobber so why did it take over
a decade for the king of the flame broiled hamburger to get going in the
breakfast space well actually it was that flame broiling
you see burger king had tried to get going with breakfast four years earlier
in 1979 but there was a little snag those
amazing flame broilers that they had built and customized in order to make
their burgers weren't ideal for cooking breakfast
items on as opposed to the grills mcdonald's uses
which are easily compatible with breakfast eats
so the king had to go back to the drawing board and come up with items for
a breakfast menu that they could cook on the equipment
installed in each and every restaurant four years later
they finally had it figured out
good afternoon welcome to burger king i take your order
breakfast stops at 10 30 a.m sharp sorry sir we stopped serving breakfast
who's talking about what four seconds late
at burger king they still stop serving breakfast at 10 30 a.m
even though their arch rival doesn't anymore prior to 2015 if you wanted
breakfast from mcdonald's or burger king you had
to get there before usually 10 30 a.m you're late man always late huh i'm
sorry mr aziz but then in 2015 mcdonald's made a huge
change one that the world had been asking for for years
they introduced all day breakfast but while mcdonald's is offering a bunch of
breakfast items all day long don't expect the same from burger king
anytime soon and temperature is the reason it's
so hot not the temperature outside but the
temperature of the flame broiler grills you see the temperature at which the
griddles are set for breakfast items is lower than the temp they need to be at
to cook the main menu of burgers and such
and it would seem that the griddles just aren't big enough nor is there enough
room in the warming trays to accommodate the main menu items and
leave space to cook the breakfast foods as well
so when you go into a burger king and ask for a sausage egg and cheese biscuit
at 10 31 a.m and the guy behind the counter
says sorry we stopped serving breakfast at 10
30. he isn't trying to be a jerk he honestly
can't make you breakfast anymore you could have a whopper for
breakfast bun with synthetic aminos vitamins and
minerals everything the body needs you don't have
to have been out partying until six in the morning to crave a hamburger for
breakfast and if you do you might be able to get
one at your nearest burger king back around the time that mcdonald's was
gearing up to introduce all-day breakfast to the world
burger king corporate sent out word to their franchisees that they could offer
certain lunch and dinner menu items in the
morning if they wanted to said items included the whopper whopper
junior french fries and a few other ones while
there were undoubtedly some very happy customers
the financial world did not see this as a good idea
feeling among other things that it would take away from the morning menu
and lead to people associating burgers with burger king breakfast instead of
the actual breakfast items i don't get it given
that the grill temperature for cooking of the lunch and dinner items needs to
be higher than for the breakfast menu and griddle space is limited this would
only work if the specific franchise felt the number of orders would allow it
in the end it doesn't appear to have been a hit and most restaurants are no
longer offering burgers for breakfast so to satisfy that 7am whopper craving
you might have to do some searching to find a burger king
that is serving them how does a 17 cent cup of coffee sound it's drink i
like it you can get a cup of coffee for 17 cents
and no you don't have to take a time traveling delorean back in time to the
1950s to get it last year burger king introduced their
bk cafe coffee subscription program which allows members to get a cup of bk
coffee every day for only five dollars per
month yes do the math and that comes out to
only 17 cents per cup of joe to get in on this offer you just need to
get the burger king app and sign up for the coffee membership
through said app easy peasy this was a really smart play by the burger king
folks not only is it a direct shot at
mcdonald's and their mccafe brand and growing rank in the coffee world but
it is also a great way to get people into your restaurants
fresh in your coffee sir yeah yeah yeah keep it coming put the pot down get away
obviously the goal here isn't to sell 17 cents cups of coffee
the membership program is meant to get more people into the restaurant
assuming that they will purchase more than just that subscription cup of
coffee burger king is hoping to use their coffee as a
gateway to sales growth especially in the breakfast market
bk needs to work on their coffee using a super cheap coffee membership to
get customers into their restaurants was a brilliant move by the higher ups at
burger king you know what i'm i'll pay it except
they forgot to take one thing into account
hi i'm dory the coffee sure five dollars for a month of coffee is an amazing
value but if the many taste tests are to be believed
burger king doesn't make the best coffee while many people even coffee snobs have
had to give mcdonald's at least some props for the quality of their
coffee that isn't the case over at bk multiple sites and
publications have done rankings and taste tests of fast food chain coffee
and more often than not burger king's offering has found itself
at the bottom or near the bottom of the list
just beating out the coffee from taco bell now at 17 cents a cup
if you have a subscription you probably aren't going to be as
picky about your cup of joe as you would be if you were paying over
five dollars for some specialty coffee drink at starbucks
but how forgiving people are when it comes to the taste of their morning brew
will no doubt have an effect on the heights
of success this coffee subscription can reach
the chris sandwich coupon scam buy a whopper get one free at burger king this
saturday and sunday only everyone loves a good bogo whether it's
a pair of shoes or a morning breakfast sandwich
few people can resist the pull of a buy one get one offer
and usually these offers do provide the value they claim to
you are getting two for the price of one but what happens when the price for that
one is raised for people using the offer
well that is exactly what was happening to some customers back in 2017 when they
used bogo coupons for the bk sausage chris sandwich sandwich this all
came to light when a maryland resident khalida anderson filed a class-action
lawsuit against the home of the whopper claiming that she had been charged more
for the sandwich when she used a coupon the differing
charges varied by location but in one location she was charged one
dollar for a sausage crew sandwich but when she used a bogo coupon she was
charged four dollars and 19 cents that isn't buy
one get one at that price it's more like buy four
get one mark my words we will get a refund
her findings were confirmed by multiple people including private investigators
and the miami herald burger king of course refused to admit
they had done anything wrong but they did agree to settle the case
agreeing to refund customers five dollars
or give them a two dollar gift card go meatless for breakfast at bk a vegan
diet no vegan powers one of the biggest trends sweeping the
fast food industry as well as the food industry in general
is meatless meat made from plants has been a huge hit for restaurants all over
including a w with their beyond meat burger
carl's jr also offers a beyond burger and burger king launched a meatless
version of the whopper the impossible whopper last year damn
enough food and now they are bringing the meatless
revolution to breakfast the fast food giant has been testing the
impossible chris sandwich with sausage made from plants in
selected markets and just recently announced that they are ready to take
the sandwich nationwide for a limited time according
to the press release this new menu item makes burger king the
first national restaurant to offer impossible sausage made from plants on a
breakfast sandwich the all-new limited time only impossible
crew sandwich features a toasted flaky croissant
fluffy eggs melted american cheese and a seasoned
sausage made from plants from impossible foods
to promote the new breakfast offering burger king was giving away 100 000
impossible chris sandwich sandwiches they might be all gone but if you live
in the united states you can download the bk app and see if
the offer is still active if not you can still get one for only

the crazy canuck bk breakfast back in 2005 burger king introduced a
breakfast item like no other the enormous omelet sandwich
and this sucker sure did live up to its name how many eggs two for you and two
for me picture this a two egg omelet a large
sausage patty bacon and cheese and all of this on a
toasted hoagie roll this thing is as wonderfully enormous as
it sounds and is definitely not for those on any
kind of diet this mammoth meal clocks in at just over
700 calories and 41 grams of delicious fat
not to mention the day's worth of sodium as well
quick toss some salt over your right shoulder
according to burger king this breakfast creation came about in response to
customers who were asking for something more filling
than the current options on the breakfast menu well if you wanted more
filling the enormous omelet sandwich certainly fits the bill
but while sales started off strong they slowed after a while
and this enormous experiment ended in the united states
after only one year but not in canada maybe it's the colder weather or how
they spell omelette with two teas but for whatever reason this beast of a
breakfast item is still on the menu to this day in the
land of hockey and maple syrup so any americans who missed out on this
billy busting breakfast back in 2005 all you gotta do is make your way north
across the longest non-militarized border in the world and
you can happily ingest 700 plus calories of
burger king breakfast goodness oh canada
bk still has lots of catching up to do you will train her harder the fast food
breakfast war between burger king and mickey d's is a pretty one-sided battle
burger king took over 10 years to start serving breakfast after mcdonald's
introduced the egg mcmuffin and five years after the golden arches
had already gone national with a full selection of breakfast items
they started behind the eight ball and according to the numbers that is where
they remain at this time a look at those numbers from 2019 has an
average burger king restaurant bringing in around 1.4 million dollars
which is half of what a similar mcdonald's is making
2.8 million dollars what what is it woman what
however when it comes to breakfast the disparity in the numbers is even greater
while mcdonald's is doing about 800 000 worth of business per restaurant at
breakfast time burger king is only generating about two
hundred thousand dollars in that morning slot
burger king would obviously like to see those numbers go up
and looking at the total revenue figures one would expect to see
at least four hundred thousand dollars per burger king restaurant
for them to remain on par but while they aren't there yet
the king sure isn't giving up they have been doing a lot of work to improve
those morning numbers and they show no signs of sitting back
and letting mcdonald's cruise along in first
