The Burger King – Fully Loaded Steak Burger
I only recommend that everyone try this as soon as possible because of how unbelievably horrible it is. I can’t imagine that it will be around for that long. It seems like a great idea even with its vague description of being adorned with “Baked Potato Topping.” Sadly something is wrong with this sandwich.
The bun is average size and the patty is nearly a 6”x6” square. The size of it along with its flavor and texture/consistency suggests that it isn’t mostly Angus beef like they want you believe. The wrapper they cram it into isn’t any bigger than they might use on a normal sandwich so you can imagine what that does for the presentation. The flavors are misleading at first. In the first bites you have mostly meat and A1-steak sauce because it hangs off the bun on all sides by about an inch. Past the bun there are fried onion pieces, bacon and cheese which together make the patty tolerable. Then it gets derailed near the center of the bun where they have placed a thick slice of potato. It doesn’t seem like that would be a problem, fries are good with burgers. Half smashed potato parts that are reminiscent of something someone might find in the trash are not. And while eating it and trying to picture mashed potatoes with meat loaf as the closest thing it reminded me of, I couldn’t help but think that potato was scrap from some other cooking adventure they decided to recycle in an attempt to reduce waste.
My recommendation is the Chicago Grill (GUBI’s) Super Burger. It’s roughly three dollars more (served with fries) and contains a full pound of beef. There is not question about the meat. The only drawback is that with its size appropriate bun forcing it into your mouth could be a problem. The patty is roughly an inch thick throughout its 6-7” diameter. The bun is a ridiculous 5-6” tall. I’ve never seen a burger this large out of all the “We’ve got the biggest Burger” places I’ve tried. When I ordered it I doubted claims made by the menu but then was amazed by its size when it arrived. Luckily before I left the waitress came to shame me in front of my fellow lunch enthusiasts. She said “I’ve never seen anyone finish one of these, but I’ve never seen anyone eat as little as you.” Then she proceeded to bring me an average size carry out container that couldn’t successfully close around the Super Burger.
Just thought you’d like to know.
