Hello everyone this is running on empty
Food review
Well hello ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching, this is running on empty food review
I am your host the report of the week
Yes the now elusive Burger King review
I say elusive because they
They do a lot of releases
And I haven't I haven't been trying them out as much as I used to but Burger King still exists, they're still out there
They're still on the radar
And that this caught my eye, and I thought to myself well It's been only out for a small number of days
Why not try it out so that's exactly what I'm doing right here right now
This is their double quarter-pound king
You see in the drawing board
They kind of ran out of ideas what to do with the King lineup
In terms of adding or removing various condiments
So they thought well what do we have left?
We can change the size of it?
So lets juts make it bigger
Let's get two quarter pound beef patties and instead of calling it the half pound king
We're gonna be very inventive, and we're gonna call it the double quarter pound king
sandwich
which is what it is and
Admittedly it
Is as you can see it's quite the large sandwich
Too big a sandwich for me on most days. I wouldn't get this because of its sheer
Its sheer size, I suppose you could say but for the review it's for the review
Looks like a very big sandwich, but there was one thing about it especially
That caught my eye, and it's kind of the reason for me reviewing it today
It's a big sandwich, and I mean we know what Burger King likes to do on their sandwiches right
We know we know it's a you know
There's even it's been proven that sometimes a little baby some of their very own first words are
Burger King likes to put mayonnaise on their sandwiches in the king lineup, that's exactly what they like to do
And you know it's renowned they put copious amounts of mayo on these
Well here's what caught my eye with this sandwich
Allegedly, there's no mayo on it
It's crazy isn't it apparently it comes with two of their quarter pounds, you know flame-grilled beef patties
Onions
pickles, cheese, and instead of mayo comes with ketchup and mustard
So here's the sandwich, you know this is um
Well this is it
They make it look you know like your standard your standard burger right on the sesame seed bun
It's a huge burger
Dude your burger right here, yeah
Make it look pretty standard um I got this
Blue light they call it black light or blue light well you know what it is
And I just wanted to check
Make sure number one that there is no mayo on it and number two there's just nothing else on it
Well lets just see right
That's just ketchup mustard
Now it's coming out clear, that's good
All right pass the test so now I know that
There's no dirty tricks here
And I guess this is what it has on it, so it's got
You know it's just a it's a it's a pretty standard sandwich I guess just instead of Mayo It's got ketchup, mustard
Onions, pickles, cheese, and two quarter pound beef patties
Pretty pretty simple sandwich with big in its size and
Let me just give you a real quick cross-section of it if you didn't see
There's one part of it
There's another part of it
Put the two together, and we have a sandwich and that sandwich I'm now
I'm about to eat so it's the double quarter pound King burger from Burger King going in
Take a couple more bites
Hope you can see that
Pathetic attempted at a across section
I'm gonna wash it down with some water
I've also picked up a uh
One of these blonde roast from Starbucks, which I've been enjoying their pretty good
Do a review with that one day, who knows
You know
I never thought I would find myself saying it but
This burger is pretty good
you know what a difference
A simple change in condiments can do to a burger
That's the truth
Yeah, when everyone thinks of a burger and of a sandwich they always think of the meat yeah
they always think of the meat
how that is how that's prepared they think of the cheese they think of the
The pickles and onions and etc etc
Don't think about how a simple dressing
Such as Mayo
Can amplify or detract?
You know from the overall eating experience and with Burger King when they would put this Mayo on?
they had the habit of putting so much on as a matter of fact that the burger itself would get very slimy
And it would get so moist to the point that
It cancels out any other positive flavor and it becomes more gross and disgusting than anything else
The simple removal of that Mayo gets rid of that problem entirely
And it actually made this into a solid sandwich now save this outright it's a very big sandwich
This is a half pound it was actually probably one of the heaviest
sandwiches
I've reviewed but getting a little workout just lifting it
but
If you don't have a big appetite
Like I myself right
I don't think I would be getting this again because of its sheer size, it's such a huge sandwich
It's just too much for me, but I will say this if you have that appetite right if you if you
They're saying you know what I haven't eaten in
Three days just to save up to eat this half pound sandwich from Burger King
You know this is your type of sandwich if you have a big appetite if you just want to go out there and just pig out
This is your type of sandwich
It tastes fine
It tastes fine, I have no complaints with it actually this is I'm shocked when I say that
But there's no complaints with it
I mean you're getting your portion size of meat you're not getting you're not getting chipped on that
You're definitely getting a half pound of meat there
The meat itself is of the Burger King standard it has that that flame grilled
You could definitely tell that's how it was prepared
Still has a little bit of juiciness to it especially if the two beef patty stacked one on the other
You can really actually taste that juiciness, it's not dried like that one time then I tried it
Right the cheese is there kind of holds everything together
You know always could use a little more emphasis on the cheese, but that's just the little that's just me being picky
And the one thing that I like about this is the combination of the pickles, the mustard, and the onions
Just gives you that little bit of a tart potency in this sandwich too that you really might not have expected otherwise
The ketchup doesn't necessarily cancel it out, but you get this nice little a little bit of tartness to it as well
You know a little bit of the vinegar-ness from the pickles and from the mustard and then just a general potency of the onions
I mean it just all works together blends together nicely, and it works out into a pretty nice sandwich actually
It's a big sandwich, $5 is around the price of this
Which is actually pretty good? If you ask me it says like that the day's meal?
You know it's a half pound of food for five bucks. That's a pretty good. Deal. If you ask me, but
I think this is the sandwich that Burger King did right
Which is amazing to me because
You know every single time I review them it's always you know I'm always I'm always picking at something
I'm always saying that they should've done this you know they should've done that
Should've, should've just ditch the Mayo
You know they should have just scraped the Mayo off the sandwich with a knife and set it on fire
You know they and I'm only saying one thing or the other but this time
I can't really find much to complain about I think they actually did a solid job on the sandwich
And if you like if you feel that you have the appetite for I say try it out
It's kind of thinking to myself before
Beforehand maybe this will be the sandwich they redeemed themselves with
And sure enough it was they did a good job here
I'm impressed by it so therefore considering the price considering the taste and considering everything
involved here
I'm gonna be giving this sandwich an eight point nine out of ten, an eight point nine a pretty high rating for Burger King
But the sandwich deserves it
Sandwich deserves the rating that got because they did a good job on it
