First up, here is pictured a BBQ Rib sandwich, one of the 1 dollar value menu items:
The first thing I will say is that this sandwich is trying hard to copy the McRib. The meat that it uses is somewhat similar. The best way I can describe it is reheated pork. If you ever have had a frozen dinner before you will understand what I mean. In this sandwich, the pickles are extremely overwhelming and do not feel like they belong in the sandwich at all. The BBQ sauce is tangy, it is the same sauce they give you. I felt that the amount of BBQ sauce was a bit on the lacking side. Additionally, the meat is so thin that you cannot even taste it with everything else. 2/5
Next time is a picture of BK's new french fries, the satisfries:
These are one of the few items that actually look as advertised in the posters they have on the wall. They have the same crunch as a regular french fry, but because they are thicker, they taste more starchy and less greasy as a regular fry. They have less salt than a regular french fry. I personally prefer the regular french fries, but these are pretty good too, and tout a "healthier" alternative. 3/5.
The final item for today's review is the Big King:
This is burger king's copy of the Big Mac.
It tastes very similar to a big mac. If you haven't had a big mac, go have one just so you can taste how similar it is. The sauce tastes very very similar. The only differences are the chopped onions in the mcdonald's sauce, versus the straight chopped onion here. The chopped onions taste better. The bun used here is way thicker, it almost takes away from the taste of everything else, especially the middle bun.
For those who haven't had a big mac, this burger tastes like a regular double cheeseburger but with extra bun and the special thousand island dressing that is in it. The dressing is something that some people love, and some people hate. I personally like it, I think it adds a mild zest to the burger that does not overwhelm but compliments instead. Overall, I would give the tip of the hat to the Big Mac over this burger, although honestly, both the big king and the big mac are overpriced compared to almost any other burger you can get. 2/5
