Big Mac or Whopper?

JupiterKid

OK - I know it's a New year, a new leaf and all that and after the period of festive food excess we are all supposed to be furiously dieting and going to the gym.

But dammit...it's 1.50am in the wee hours and I have a craving for a BK Whopper.:D:pac::pac:

So which are boardsie's favourite burgers? And I mean burgers just from "fast food" outlets - no GBK, no Eddie Rockets (too pricey...)

Big Mac, Whopper or something else?

Double quarter pounder from Maccers with just cheese and ketchup.

None of your hippie shit.

TeddyTedson

big kahuna burger

Gaudizeit

bag o' lettuce

Le King

XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger

A whopper taste more real

If the Whopper had Big Mac sauce on it then i would choose the Whooper otherwise tis the mighty Big Mac. Got love that brand of 1000 island dressing they use in the Big Macs

It's a burger thread, so it has to have a Pole?

That's racist.

Dude I'm sorry to break it to you but that is no guarantee! I used to work in a McDonalds on weekends while in secondary school/college. If it was really busy they would pick one already made and open that baby up and take the pickles out.

Only way to absolutely guarantee it's fresh made is to ask for no onions/cheese/sauce or get it plain/only ketchup/only cheese.

Enjoy your Big Macs!

TeddyTedson

OP you're so annoying i'm really hungry now!!

starbelgrade

Whopper with McDonalds fries.

honru

Whopper if I had to choose but I usually go for something else when I go to McD's or BK.

alwaysadub

Chicken Royale!

KeithM89_old

Honestly though, its always better homemade compared to some fast food crap

The option was below where you entered your text, too late now to add one but I'm sure one the Mods will add one when they see your post.
If not - just send one of them a PM (please add a GBK option, pretty please).

I adore GBK burgers, love 'em.

Gourmet Burger Company are also excellent.

Jo Burger are amazing.

Rick's are okay, but they always fall apart.

Zaytoon make a decent burger, has to be said.

BoBo's were good but are now not so much.

If I have to stick to the two options, I have to say an Angus Whopper.

Don't like McDonalds food at all, pure muck that leaves you more hungry than you fecking were to begin with.

KeithM89_old

Cant you add a poll in 'Thread tools' and 'Add poll'??

Local-womanizer

Big 4 meal any day please

Anyone from the North West here will know what I mean!

Do you like bungo's? You'd never guess-you hardly ever mention it!

JupiterKid

I think the Whopper has the edge over the Big mac - there's more meat and salad in the burger plus the flame grilled BK taste. The Big Mac is too bready.

I hate the BK chips. They changed the formula for them about 10 years ago and they are just rank.

My fave McDonalds burger would be a Quarter Pounder without cheese. That way it's made fresh for me.:)


Check out this funky 1974 advert for Burger King - Home of the Whopper Baby!!!

It's your lucky day,mackers on the Klymore are open 24 hours.

Hannibal

Hillbillys in fairview do the best chicken burger by far, kfc doesnt even come close imo.. still voted for batter burger though

Mardy Bum

In-N-Out Burger is the best by a long way.

JupiterKid

What is a bungo and from where can you procure such an item of sustenance?

Cheap Thrills!

I need a double quarter pounder with cheez really bad now.

JupiterKid

I've heard very good reports of In and Out Burger. Shame it's restricted to parts of the USA...:(

But seriously, I would devour a whopper right now!:pac:

Nope, they made a moo moo.

They switched from Grass Fed beef (O'Tooles Organic) to junk.

Maybe it was bought out, as all the staff are different to the guys that opened it and worked there also.

JONJO THE MISER

Whopper by a mile, cant stand Mcdonalds burgers pure plastic.

Biggins

Mine is a half pounder from Burger King or some independent retailer.
Wife and I don't touch McDee's food for love or money.

JupiterKid

A drawback with Burger King is that there are so few outlets in Ireland, at least compared to McDonalds.:(

AFAIK there is no BK in Cork, Galway or anywhere in the North west. A shame really, especially when they opened their first outlet on Grafton St in Dublin 30 years ago this year, only a few years after McDonalds.

kumate_champ07

I loved the McRib, then one time when they came back I ate too many

Burger King opened in Galway last year or the year before. But they're in a shopping centre so close at like 6:30 most of the time!

Loopy

Whopper all the way but BK's fries are shite.
So ideally Chipper chips, whopper with cheese and Eddie Rockets garlic mayo.
NYOM.

shinikins
