I can't wait until I go back to Portland to try some burgers. Club 21 will definitely be on my "to try" list.

Pretty much feel exactly the same as Impulse Buyer.

Dear AHT: Best Burger in Canada Is at Peter's Drive-In

Speaking of burgers in Canada...

Allow me to shamelessly plug myself. My name is Donald and I run a burger blog that reviews burgers in Victoria, BC and other places on Vancouver Island and the west coast.

The URL is www.vicburgers.blogspot.com

I've always been curious about the Calgary burger bus, and just the burger scene there in general. Seems to have much more of a burger culture than anywhere else in Canada.

What I want to know is: is it Lewis Black doing the Angry Whopper's voice on the Angry-grams?

Fast food is never spicy enough. Take Wendy's Spicy Chicken sandwich - a favorite of mine, the flavor is good, but they ran ads showing men with sweat pulsing down their faces to promote the sandwich, hardly. I could throw on several drops of haberno to really spice it up, otherwise it is very mild, I think a baby could eat it. If you don't need anything to cleanse your palette from the burn while you are eating, water, soda, fries, etc, it is not hot! I could eat a Spicy Chicken without a single pause.

They need to hire a better food stylist. That Angry Whopper looks like its made of styrofoam.

Why anger? Seems like a negative thing to promote. I'll pass, the BKs around the DC metro area serve dried out crap, I'm sure they'd dessicate this thing too.

I saw "Angry Whopper" on a BK marquee sign last week, and though it was a marketing stunt. i had no idea an "Angry Whopper" was a real menu item. was funny.

Can you imagine the next generation of "angry" whoppers? some possibilities:
guilty whopper
intelligent whopper
nerdy whopper
sleeping whopper
obsessive compulsive whopper

I got one on a hung-over New Years Day in LA, only to find out when I got home, they forgot the bacon. It made me angry. Now I know why they call it the Angry Whopper

I wish BK would spend a little more time on food quality and customer service, and less time on the creepy "King" and bizzare marketing (The "Whopper Virgins" commercials weren't bad, but we they didn't need to use other cultures to compare burgers, how about Americans comparing.).

A good Whopper can be really good, but I haven't had one in the last half dozen times I stopped at a BK over the years. I can't seem to get a freshly cooked patty. They're always cooking them to death and in advance and they'r dry as can be. I don't think I should have to ask for a "fresh" burger either. Unfortunately, I think BK has the worst customer service of any chain, and I'm talking about across the country. I'm sure there are some well run establishments somewhere, but I haven't found any.

This has been a huge hit in Sweden (was on the meny some time ago) and I got the opportunity to talk to one of the Product Developers from BK, he told me that this is the first burger to "go the other way" = first be introduced in the EMEA's and then go to the North American markets. But. as a twist - he got the idea from a swanky restaurant in NYC("davidburke & donnatella"?) who had a "angry lobster" on the menu - a lobster with jalapeños amongst other ingredients - and that triggered the angry whopper idea.

Still, it's a good burger, but I wouldn't call it angry, more "mildly annoyed".

It was alright. Nothing crispy about the onions, and not very spicy - oh except for the somewhat spicy bit I got from the TWO jalapeno pieces I had on mine.

That doesn't really look like a real burger. It looks like the toppings were photoshopped together. Maybe that's what they do for all the burgers on posters and menus - which would explain why the real thing never looks like the photo ;-)

I can totally vouch for the awesomeness of Peter's Drive-In, but I think the star of the show has got to be their SHAKES. They are so thick you need to (well ok, I need to) suck hard on the straw TWICE before you get your first sip.

The e-coli outbreak was interestingly enough not traced back to the meat, but to an employee who was carrying the bacteria and passed it on to a marshmallow milkshake, if I recall correctly.
