It was just a week ago we were ordering fries at Burger King (well, it was part of a
Chicken Fries value meal—yes, fries with fries) but since then, they've changed their fry-style nationwide. Now when you order fries at BK, they come out thicker (a bit thicker than soda straws) and less salty.

For all my potato love,
I've never been a big French fry man. For some reason I associate them with fussy, ketchup-stained children and anemic college vegetarians. Therefore, I've always preferred Burger King to McDonald's, because I like the onion ring option. Waiting at the cash register, I learned that BK also sells something called Chicken Fries.

In the fast food world, fried chicken sandwiches are the new black. Just about every chain, whether a burger chain or fried chicken establishment, offers multiple versions.
But which are the best? We tried the standard fried chicken sandwiches, whether chicken patty-like or chicken fillet-like, from KFC, Popeye's, McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Wendy's, and Burger King. During the tasting, one thing became very clear:
not all chicken is created equal.

2010 was quite a year for fast food. It's hard to believe that just twelve months ago, McDonald's didn't sell smoothies, Taco Bell's tacos were an awful lot worse, and no one had heard of a sandwich with fried chicken as its bun. Take a look back at 2010 in the fast food world.

Burger King's new breakfast menu includes nine items, four of which are actually coffee (Seattle's Best hot and three iced flavors: regular, mocha, vanilla). We tried it all: the Mini Blueberry Biscuits, pancakes, Breakfast Ciabatta Club Sandwich, Croissan'wich, and the Breakfast Bowl.

Burger King recently introduced a new line of ribs to its menu, offering them in six- or eight-piece value meals.
Note the term "piece." Though as an American adult I ought to know better, I expected ribs at least four or five inches long. When I opened the box, I found riblets no longer than 2.5 inches. That, in and of itself, is not a bad thing. But are they worth the money?

So, yeah. If you saw that
Burger King had added a sausage-egg sandwich on an English muffin and thought that they had
ripped it off from McDonald's, you're right. In this commercial, where the King sneaks into McD's HQ and steals the blueprint for the Sausage Egg McMuffin, the chain all but admits that's what it was up to.

In a move that's clearly designed as a challenge to McDonald's McMuffin breakfast sandwich line,
Burger King is adding what's essentially its own version of the Sausage McMuffin to its menu.

Unfortunately, Consumer Reports only hits the big three--McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. The two redheads get "very good" ratings while the King merely receives a "good," with CR saying what I've always thought about BK fries: "coating detracts from the quality and makes texture a little tough, not crispy."...

In an era of downsizing rather than super-sizing, Burger King has spun much of its menu into miniature form—Burger Shots, Cini-Minis, and now the limited-time “Breakfast Shots.” These tiny egg sandwiches come in packs of two ($1.49) or six ($4.39), topped with your choice of bacon, ham, or sausage, and slathered in a smoky cheese sauce. Truth be told, I wasn’t expecting much of these slider-sized morsels. Dividing one breakfast sandwich into many can be a sly way of cutting back the eggy, cheesy surface area, passing off hunks of bread with minimal goodies as bite-sized sandwiches. But if anything, BK’s Breakfast Shots had the opposite problem—too little bread to contain everything else going on. Bite-sized sandwiches should be...
