Burger King or McDonald's?

[RaTix]

Personally, I prefer Burger King over McDonald's any day. From their burgers to their fries, onion rings and stackers, It just tastes so much better then the skimpy bland burgers at McDonald's. If there was one as often and close as McDonald's, I would never go to McJuan's again. That's just my preference though, what's yours?

A well made fresh whopper is one of the best things about living in America. I do get a craving every once in a while for those creepy McFranken Nuggets or a Big Mac, but those are cravings... Whoppers are THE king shit.

Hardee's Jalepeno Thickburger is the best burger on the planet, so far, and if you get a chance, you should have one, though two of them in the same day may send you to the hospital. We have a fairly local chain I think called Cookout that has CRAZY good burgers.

I prefer Wendys over Burger King and McDonalds - but Burger King burgers are much better than McDonalds.....BTW...when I was a teenager I used to work at McDonalds - I was the best burger flipper east of the Mississippi - LOL!!!

[BOSS]

Jack in the box FTW! lol

I can't really choose between the two. I'll go to one over the other depending on what I want and which is closer when I'm driving somewhere, but homemade burgers are the way to go if you ask me.

Burger King out of the 2. But the Baconator is the shit. I just don't eat 'em often cuz that's a coronary waiting to happen.


Edit- at first glance of the title for the post, I actually asked myself what this had to do with RaTix' C4L posts....lol

I prefer Wendys over Burger King and McDonalds

I agree, I agree, I agree, I AGREE!

That little red headed bitch beats the clown anyday! Not that the king isnt cool, But the baconator is by far the best tasting burger out of those 3, Whoppers are good McChickens are cheap but The baconator fills me up without fries.

I like burger king as well, But I would chose wendy's before anything else.

EDIT:

Hardee's Jalepeno Thickburger

Keyser makes a great point, Hardee's is the shit, The Jale Thick Brick is a great burger.

OK, for those that keep saying how great the baconator is, BULLSHIT. Any time I have order one I get 6 strips of bacon that amount to the equivalent of 3 strips of bacon. It's the same amount of bacon, but cut into 6 strip[s instead of 3. It's nothing more then a bacon cheese burger and I should sue them for false advertisement. The BK Stackers are FAR better and you get the same amount of bacon.

And I am not alone....

Wendy's "Baconator" sandwich is a culinary failure. Commercials advertising the burger boast of its "six strips of bacon piled high atop two fresh, never-frozen beef patties," but while Wendy's delivers the beef, upon first unwrapping the sample sandwich this reviewer was left wondering where they'd concealed the bacon. I lifted up the warm kaiser roll and found six translucent strips of pork, each about the width of a piece Scotch-brand 'Magic tape' and the thickness of 20 lb. copy paper. These six fragments of reconstituted bacon were set in a thin mortar of ketchup and mayonnaise, the only standard condiments on this double 1/4 pounder with double cheese — there's no pickle unless you order it, no onions unless you ask. The Baconator is conceptually intriguing — like the Dogme 95 movement did for cinema and Spoon does with rock'n'roll, the Baconator formula seems like it will strip the extraneous and leave just the essence of a bacon cheeseburger: two hot patties, two slices of cheese, a thick layer of bacon, and just enough condiments to bind bacon, burger, and bun. The formula might've worked if Wendy's included enough bacon to compete with the burger, but six tiny pieces do not warrant the '-nator' suffix; in this reviewer's opinion they barely justify the generic 'bacon cheeseburger'. Contemplate the word "Baconator" as if it were one of Plato's Forms. "Baconator" implies not only an adequate bacon ratio, as Wendy's burger almost delivers, but a ratio so high as to be capable of great destruction. Wendy's had the vision to see the word — Baconator — but there their vision halted. They might've ground bacon strips into bacon bits and mixed them in into their fresh all beef patties, adding a healthy dose of real bacon atop for overkill. Such a burger might earn the name "Baconator."They could've weaved their thin strips into a kind of crude cloth of pork, folding it over three, four times, or with the right machinery perhaps knitting bacon into a sort of greasy mobius strip. Such a burger might earn the name "Baconator." Instead Wendy's phoned it in.

An advertisement for the Baconator sandwich lured Timbotron of Blogadilla into a Wendy's restaurant. But the real thing (right) didn't look much like the advertisement (left).

It was like when I found out that Santa Claus wasn’t real.

All the ingredients were there, but they didn’t look like the advertisement photos and they tasted like greasy sadness.

The baconator was nothing I would try again and I love baconburgers but it only had 3 strips of bacon broken in half to make 6 pices. shame on you wendys. a florida resident

Now don't get me wrong, I like Wendy's. But if you want the more satisfying meal for your buck, get yourself 2 Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers and two small fries from their $1 menu. You will be more filled, and less disappointed.

I attached a photo comparing one of an Ad, and one of actual Baconator. Granted all commercials and ads aren't anywhere near the actual products, but you get the idea.

In terms of the baconator, I have one thing that comes to mind, well two if you count disappointment.

Personally I like Burger King a lot more than McDonald's. Simply because of the burgers and fries. Its as if the McDonald's fries and burgers are impotent or something.

Edit: Burger King also has a 360 games of their mascot LOL. I saw a certain someone playing that the other night.

[Tomahawk]

Both are really awful. Wendys > both. The last time I got BK, the douchebags cooking didn't remove the plastic from the cheese. Worst culinary experience of my life and I'll never eat from there again.

Two words:

Flame. Broiled.




... unless the McRib's in town... :D

[Zabka]

In N Out Burger. Too bad they don't have em out east...I could choose to never eat anywhere else again.

I prefer McD's fries over BK's. But I like BK's burgers more---a little. I like both the Whopper and the Big Mac---depends on the mood.

Wendy's has the worst side dishes of the three...but their spicy chicken sandwiches and wraps are good.

Hardee's is only good for breakfast. Their burgers have always been borderline inedible.

[captnjeter]

If I had to pick, I'd probably say McDonalds... not that it's saying much. I don't like any of them that much. Checkers (Rally's if you're down South) beats all three of them.

Zabs, they were building a "Joe's In 'n Out" burger down the block from my house, but either the REAL "In 'N Out Burger" found out and shut them down or the economy blasted them out... either way, no one's been working on it since July.

American Roadside Burger is a damn good place... there are only a few of them on Long Island and it's sorta a mix between fast food and sit-down but those are the best burgers I've had in a while. And you see them actually place it on a real grill.

[Grejo]

burger king. i've worked at mcdonalds for 2 yrs and burger king for 1 year during my high school days. when it comes to fries and quality of the burger, it goes to burger king hands down. mcdonalds can outbeat burger king when comparing the chicken but otherwise i will always choose burger king.


HAVE IT YOUR WAY!!

I read an article in the Wall Street Journal about In N Out Burger a couple years ago. They are completely family owned with no franchises. That's why they aren't so wide spread. But with freshly cut fries (you see your batch go from potato to fries) and fresher produce, the burger is just a far superior option. So they try really hard to maintain their brand. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the family shutting the name down or if Joe's lenders no longer had the liquidity to put into a start-up business--lending of this sort is WAY down. It's a shame. Either way, I am guess that Joe's would be a pale imitation to the glory of In N Out.

!. Whataburger (those who live down south know what I am talkin about! lol)
2 Culvers (Butter Burger baby!)
3. Wendy's (the Baconator at mine has a ton of bacon literally, almost too much...damn thing gave me heart burn and the shits for 2 days! lol)
4. Sonic (overrated though)
5. BK (Double Whopper, Double Bacon Cheese Burger, or the Rodeo, fried are the best too, especially wih honey mustard!)
6. Jack in the Box (even though last time I was at one I threw up, but that had something to do with the 3 bottles of Cianti I had the night before! lol)
7. Checkers
8. Hardy's (only good when drunk at 3 am, stay away fromt eh biscuits and gravey, trust me!)
9. McDonalds (Allthough their breakfast is better than BK...love the bacon egg and cheese mcmuffin)
10. In and Out (simply because I have never had it, but from what I hear this could easily move into the top 3)
11. White Castle (personally think WC is a blight that needs to be whiped off the face of the earth!)
