Burger King's "Steakhouse XT"

Yes, unfortunately there is not much to be said for the presentation of this burger, as mine looked equally as appetizing:


I had this for dinner. The meat was hot and tasted fresh and Burger King burgers, due to the flame broiling, have the potential to taste like they come off of the backyard barbecue (which hardly ever is the case with the average Burger King burger).

This burger (with several slices of cheese, lettuce, a sauce which combines A1 and mayo, and onion crisps) rivals a Red Robbin burger. It is large, cooked to perfection, and filling. All for a reasonable price when compared to other "gourmet" burgers.

Well done, Mr. King.

Yes, it is overpriced for fast food ($5.50 for a single burger). Yes, it could have used real onions instead of a few fried onion crisps. Yes, the lettuce and bun were somewhat soggy when I finally opened my wrapper and bit into this hearty treat, and yes, the sodium and cholesterol will kill me early, but the idea of a fast food chain which typically make dry burgers with a charcoal aftertaste making an "extra thick" patty that is large, moist, and fully-cooked is revolutionary in the fast food industry. Well done indeed. In a town of McDonalds, Wendys, and Burger King, the Steakhouse XT wins. For now.
