If Burger King doesn't do something about their food quality soon, they won't be in business in 5 years. Their food has crossed the line of just bad, into god-awful.

This is a pretty common issue with their onion rings. I realized today why I haven't had them in years as I recall similar issues last time. Also, if you go online, BK onion rings seems notorious for terrible gas and diarrhea from what I am reading from people (I'm only getting ungodly bad gas and slight cramping). So it has to be the batter or the zesty sauce as their fries don't cause me issues.

The Bacon Whopper tasted good and the fries the Mrs. had caused 0 issues for her.

Thankfully we only eat fast food maybe once a week or every two weeks.

Burger King's onion rings are a guaranteed mustard gas fart creator. It's the rehydrated onions they use, I'm pretty sure. ALSO the Zesty Sauce that comes with them can't help. I still eat the shit out of them, just don't go clubbing afterwards.

Otherwise I like BK's food a lot, actually. When their fries are good they're great. If you don't like Mayo/onions don't eat at BK. It's the combination of toppings with the burger that makes it. Their bacon whopper is pretty good and the temporal Angry Whopper is among the elitist of fast food items ever.

noo I had one of those chicken things and it was actually good! and their double stack taco thing is always good - I don't know why its not a constant on the menu- its not like they don't have the items to make it all the time.

It's because, imo only without anything to back it up, that the higher ups are looking at something, and if it doesn't do as well as the Loco tacos they are calling it a "failure". So shit that's great, but not insanely popular, gets canned.

But more than likely it has to do with franchise feedback how shits messing up drive through times because it takes so long to get more chicken shells out of the fryer if they run out.

I have not been to wendy's in a while cause the ones near me suck(!).

But I was out of town and decided to go get some jr bacon's cause I love them so much. Last time I ordered a JBC they were $1.39 each, now they are god damn 2.79?? what in the fuck man.

fuckers removed 4pc nuggets from the menu and only have 6pc for 2.29

And they fucking put regular mayo on my swiss JBC instead of ranch.

fuck you wendy's.

Had a Naked Chicken Chalupa from Taco Bell today, was really nice. Wasn't nearly as oily as I thought it would be. FYI it's a taco using a flexible fried chicken shell (don't ask me how they get it so flexible).

They make the chicken do stretches before slaughtering them.

Well their chicken not looking like chicken is a sign right there that something is off.

If I remember correctly, their ham and some other meats are "turkey based product" or something similar.

Tried Naked Chicken and it hit me way better than I expected. I almost took a detour to get one today.

I didn't know it would be seasoned. It's like a Bojangles patty wrapped around avocado ranch.

It's basically everything the double down wanted to be. It's light but filling, fried but not greasy, perfect bread/chicken ratio. Sad to see we're losing it so fast but I hope they god they put it on the rotation list. If not it will be in the stories I tell when I'm in my 80's.

Yeah as disgusting as the Double Down was in theory, it was delicious.
