Burger King's New Menu Reviewed

By Erik Trinidad

It took the royal touch (and a lot of money) of the self-proclaimed king of burgers to commandeer celebrities to endorse a new food product line. If you’ve seen Jay Leno, Mary J. Blige, Salma Hayek, Steven Tyler, Sofia Vergara, or even international heartthrob David Beckham use their fame-fueled influence in a new ad campaign for Burger King, you know something at BK is aiming to be more buzzworthy than the mere addition of mushrooms on a Whopper. For the first time in its 58-year history, BK has expanded its offerings broader than ever before, with 10 new items that strive to better diversify their menu -- akin to burger competitor McDonald's. However, burgers are not the focus of the new items; in our health-conscious world, the king of burgers has instead focused on chicken, salads and frosty beverages.

See how they rate:

They removed the Whopper juniors changed the Fish Sandwich and it seems that all of their former quality has been reduced. I am upset about this and will just buy McDonalds from now on. Ridiculous!

Burger king has a really good chicken sandwich. Its a nice sized chicken breast with just the right amount of breading. Its a nice lunch check it out.

This isn't a Burger King issue but my local BK issue. Everytime I go through the drive thru they screw up my order and I have to go back. I do keep going back because I think they by far have the best food of any burger joint. I hate McDonald's except for their Frappe so I am really glad to see BK finally get a Frappe. So long McDonald's forever.

I used to work for the company as an assistant mgr. The store mgr and distric mgr were so uptight on how much got put on waste. That they had us extend hold times. For example a fish has a hold time of 1hr if busniess was slow that same fish would still get sold even 2hrs later what the mgr would do is have the cook drop it back into the fryer for 15sec (what they call refreshing time) then sell it. Now burgers this especially goes for the night shift. Say the store closes at 2am you could get burgers that have been up since 10;30pm or even 11pm. All because they want to get things done early so they have free time to chit chat. I guarentee if stores would follow hold times everytime for some stores there would seem to be more waste than sales.I left because I just could not stand what they were making us serve just to control waste.
