Burger King - Double Whopper


Double Whopper - double beef patty, onions, lettuce, tomato, gherkins, mayonnaise, ketchup £varies depending on location ~£5

Burger type: Pub/Gourmet/Inbetween/Dirty Processed

Here it is. I've braved a low-end establishment in order to bring you a control sample. Something that everyone knows and can use as a comparison for all the other reviews. You're bound to have subjected your digestive system to at least one in the past and there's little to say except explain the ratings. Meat gets a 0.5. The patties are thin, cooked to dryness and bland. But the flame grilling takes them marginally above those of the golden arches. The bun is so perfectly formed that it shouts processed. But it does hold everything together and has been toasted just right so 1/2 here. The fillings are hardly inspiring and distinctly budget. No points here. You can see straight away that the meat is overcooked just by looking at the burger, and it hardly gets the tastebuds drooling, but the overall package is well formed with minimal spillage so there's a package point awarded here. Overall a low score then. In fact the lowest score so far. Hardly surprising; I didn't expect my visit to be a great culinary experience. But the burger was rated fairly against all criteria and represents a baseline in order for other reviews to be compared against. The King is dead.

Rating: 
Meat 0.5/3
Bun 1/2
Fillings 0/2
Package 1/2
Extra point? Erm. No.
Overall 2.5/10
