Why is that not here? So what does 2500 calories come out to using the metric system?

That looks so fucking gross. Burger King tastes like lighter fluid.

According to Mr Schaufelberger, the Pizza Burger is a homage to New York, the home of Burger King.

We can trust Burger King's vice president of global marketing. Right?

To me, it doesn't get any more "New York" than Blue Lagoon Drive in Miami. But have it your way, Mr. Schaufelberger.

As shitty as this is and as healthy as I've been trying to be lately, I think on principle it would be a travesty if I didn't try and eat one.

jeff061 · 08-26-2010, 08:13 PM

That's awesome. I can at least see myself eating this(I won't). That double chicken thing was just weird and completely unappetizing.

Wendy's hands down over Burger King. BK's got the better burgers though.

Um. No. I do have a desire now to go into a Burger Thing & order a Schaufel burger.

Burger King has a decent veggie burger.

Pure death to my surgically repaired arteries..must try one anyways.....

stevew · 08-26-2010, 08:57 PM

I can't see eating more than a slice of that. BK's new XL burgers are gut bombs as well.

That was a couple of buildings away from the Miami office of my former employer. There was a BK a quarter-mile away that always was super clean and provided great service.

I love how the attached article says that the Pizza Burger was clearly the highlight according to one blogger, going on to quote that same blogger as saying "it's not bad".

That's a ringing endorsement.

+1. I remember in high school I could pack away two Whoppers easy, but if I have one these days it's just like having a brick sitting in my stomach. It's kind of funny I can make two 1/2lb burgers at home and feel better than eating one Whopper.

Apparently you've never been to Miami. South Florida is chock full of transplants from that area. That's why I've never gone back.

And like 75% of the residents of South Florida, the people running Burger King probably decided they needed to spread their miserableness to other parts of the country, so they moved to South Florida.

Your hate of the area is intense.

Wait. I thought BK was owned by a UK company?

They used to be owned by Diageo, but were bought out by a private equity firm around 10 years ago.

I grill at home all the time, but I only use grass fed beef. Every once in a while I'll grab some fast food for kicks, and no later than 30 minutes after eating it I'll feel like hurling.

stevew · 08-27-2010, 01:12 PM

Agreed Matthean. It's something about beef at fast food restaurants. I can eat like 5 homemade tacos. But one taco bell taco and I'm reenacting tub girl. Dunno why.
