No Whopper for You! Burger King 'Discontinues' Its Signature Sandwich
Lauren - "Burger Queen" smacks more of gay bashing, which is equally offensive if you have absolutely no sense of humor.

Funny that you mention chicken fried steak, as Marlow and Sons (on Broadway in Williamsburg, Brooklyn) just had a take on cfs on in their specials menu when I was there Wednesday evening. It looked delicious, but I can't speak to its authenticity.
Proud at being among the not-so-lowest-common denominator of fast food lovers, I was almost in tears watching these poor folks express their love and desire for the Whopper. So this means that BK is riding on one product alone?
(Just call me "Burger Queen". I won't take offense!)
We've been seeing snippets of this video and other similar ones in TV ads for a week or so now, way out west along the Rio Grande. Hate to bust BK's bubble, but Whoppers are to burgers what Coors and Bud are to beer: mass produced and no cometition to local, hand-crafted varieties. Cute ad, tho.
Not picking on you, Adam, just the statement itself. You're a well represented equal burger opportunist, no worries.
Launate: It's true. McDonald's and Wendy's partisans would have the same reaction, I'm sure. Too bad they didn't think of the same faux-Punk'd prank first!
OK. Lauren and BCT, you are both correct. I'm sorry for the error in judgment. Watching it again, I can see that that statement was lame. Apologies all around. I think most regular readers know AHT is neither sexist or homophobic, so I've subbed a better quote for the offending one. Thanks for calling me out.
We have a winner!
And it's ... KANSASNATE. Someone from Serious Eats will be contacting you shortly for shipping info.
