Nation's Restaurant News:

Burger King is rolling out its new Fire-Grilled Ribs to major markets this week, debuting a high-ticket item that nearly rivals casual-dining prices. The new bone-in ribs, which have been tested in various markets and use the chain's new batch broilers that are now in nearly all domestic Burger King units, are priced at $7.99 as a six-piece combo meal in Dallas and $7.49 in Chicago. An eight-piece ribs meal is available in both markets for $8.99. The meals include French fries and a drink.


The ticket price nearly rivals some offerings at casual-dining restaurants like Chili's and Applebee's, which often start meal options at $9.99. Some casual-dining brands have dropped prices as low as $5.99 for special promotions on burgers, for example.

I would give it a try once to see if it was the real deal.

my guess would be that the bones were added just before the meat slurry jelled.

Corporate product announcements should not be considered news.

fast food is a choice, not a necessity... people are killing themselves.

Have you seen Food Inc.? The film shows that fast food restaurants and corporate farms in general essentially prey on the poor who can't afford to pay for fresh produce. As long as places like BK and Mickey D's offer low prices for unhealthy foods, people who make less than $20,000 a year will rely on the cheap costs of fast food.
