100%. The worst low grade beef broiled with flames is vastly superior to ANY grade of meat cooked on a flat top. The only thing burger king misses too often on the Whopper is that the patties require a dash of salt + pepper to make them come alive. They come without salt too often. This is why I will perish on a hill claiming a well-done Burger King Double Whopper is superior to Five Guys even ignoring price.
I will stand next to you on that hill, comrade. As a Texan, I should, by default, have Whataburger in my #1 spot, but GODAMN a whopper is hard to beat.
Hadn’t tried one in YEARS and had the Mando one a week or two ago and it was delicious. The fries were on point as well.
I worked at Burger King about 8 years ago, and a salt and pepper blend is supposed to be added to the whopper patties, but not the smaller patties for whatever reason. But a lot of the times the salt and pepper blend was skipped over for speed. Even though it literally only took 2 secs to add.
The pickles and mayo add some salt to it, but for the meat to have a more meaty flavor, they can be helped a lot with a small amount of salt and or pepper.
Yeah, when I cook a steak, or a burger, or whatever, I'll use some sort of seasoning. Which always has a ton of salt.
But for something that I am paying to be cooked for me, I guess I expect that its going to be seasoned/salted enough to taste good. Without having to add more.
That's a fucking bold claim. But.
I have to reluctantly agree. Those whoppers fucking hit different, even when you're not fucked up. And they are massive. If you could get Cajun fries at Burger King I don't think I would go anywhere else for a burger.
It never stopped being flame grilled in the UK. A double whopper with cheese is probably my favourite 'large' burger of any of the chains. That and they give military discount!
That’s not what changed, though. They’ve always flame-broiled their burgers. Officially, all that changed was the mayo, the bun, and the presentation (it comes in a box now).
Thing is, it actually is better. Like way better. So, my suspicion is they cracked down on quality control and training of the employees.
Agreed. I have gotten a few from places that had a cook that didn’t know how make them properly. You could attach them patties to a grinder and sand a rusty bumper with them.

That flame broiled patty has a lot better flavor than fried on the flat top and it’s less greasy.
