Anything FRIED is yummy-ish at first anyway. You could slice an old stinky boater's neoprene sock up, dip it in batter and fry it and people would go "Yummy! Chewy, but yummy! Got any dipping sauce?"

I do not patronise FastFood at all! YUCK!! Disgusting! :-( And I wish upon ALL FastFood places a swift economic DEATH!! :-(

Besides, I have a little more Food Class than that! I do not eat garbage!!

I ate twice there 2 weeks ago using coupons about to expire. Good
enough food for the price. Probably tasted better than John K's
India King food.

John Kuthe is likely standing over their shoulders watching them so they
feel obligated to share.

Other than a mention of some banana raisin bread recently all he's said
is it was too hot to make candy. He doesn't cook anything. Just
bitches about MAMMON and all sorts of other weird shit. I hope he finds
happiness on the new forum he's discovered.

Me too, can't remember when I last had a burger. Isn't it BK who
advertises a meatless burger these days?

I remember working with a guy years ago who'd order a meatless
Whopper and ask for a discount. Seems to me by now you should
be able to find vegetarian options on most menus any more.

I do have one place we go that has great burgers and if I'm
hungry enough I'll get one. And I'm not above the occasional
fast food burger, either. I do like a Five Guys little bacon
burger.

Years ago BK wasn't bad when "Have it your way" meant something,
during the early '70s they offered a help yourself salad bar loaded
with burger fixins'; lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, pickles,
relish, several dressings in gallon pump bottles including ketchup
and mustard.

I think you have Burger King confused with the old Hardee's restaurants.
BK never had a salad bar but Hardee's did have bar where you could add
what and as much as you wanted to your burger.

Burger Chef, which was subsequently bought by Hardee's, IIRC.

The Burger King near where I worked had a salad bar, but a long time
ago, early '70s. I worked in a small shop in New Hyde Park, Nassau
County LI. Once a week the boss would treat all six of us to BK for
lunch. That businesses name was "Ingenious Mechanisms", we built the
mechanisms for animations, like for Lord and Taylors window at Holiday
time, we also animated a lot of Disney's artwork. We animated the
Phil & Phyllis display in the Philadelphia Phillies ball park... I
spent weeks there fine tuning that display.
I've not been to a BK since. Could be not all Burger Kings had a
salad bar.

Roy Rogers had the fixin's set up too. You could make a salad from it.

Burger King never had a "dress your own burger" setup. They had a
salad bar in the very late 70's through mid 80's, but that was a
separate product.

"Have It Your Way(tm)" always referred to the fact that you could
order it any way you wanted it and they would assemble it that way
for you. Not that you could pilfer fixings from the salad bar
without paying for it.

I have no idea what this "boycott" post is about. Who is up in arms
against what? Why should I care about some Catholic League or what they
think about Burger King?

The last time I ate at Burger King (about 8 years ago) I got a breakfast
croissant sandwich with ham, egg & cheese. And tater crowns (which are
similar to tater tots). Nothing to complain about, much less boycott.

My local Burger King just closed due to lack of employees. Not sure if it's permanent or not.

Could be.

Our BK closed 3 yrs ago cuz the owner didn't wanna renew his franchise
(so, I "heard"). That old BK is now an independent burger joint. Our
local Taco Bell/KFC joint also closed. A local bank expanded into the
vacant bldg.

This is our "improving" economy!
