Sonic has recently been introduced to my life and I don’t know what I was doing all of these years without it. All of this McDonalds and Burger King doesn’t even compare to the deliciousness. On my second visit there, I couldn’t resist getting the “extra long” chili cheese dog, which is a 1/4 pound hot dog slathered with chili and cheese. Let me tell you, this is fast food hall of fame material. Throw in a watermelon slushy with an order or tater tots and you have yourself a serious meal. I personally enjoyed this combo at 2:30 AM and I feel as though this is the ideal time to experience such incredibleness. Is incredibleness an actual word?
After the longest hiatus I have taken since starting Epic Portions, I am back with a new fast food report.
Apparently it wasn’t enough that Burger King was destroying ribs. They couldn’t be the ones doing it. Now McDonalds is joining the war against one of my favorite foods in the world and is almost ready to roll out McRiblets. I have never seen an oven, grill or anything of that manner in a McDonalds “kitchen”, so I can’t say I’m very optimistic. Then again, even if McDonalds had smokers installed at all of their locations I still wouldn’t eat their ribs.
So apparently Burger King is rolling out their ribs in major markets(Dallas, Chicago, ect..) this week and it made me realize that I haven’t called anything stupid in a while. In fact, after running a quick search I found that it’s been since April 5th, when I called Subway’s breakfast completely stupid, that I called anything stupid. Well folks, Burger King decided it had been too long since John got a little perturbed about a fast food menu item and decided to do this. Great work Burger King. Great work.

BK Ribs come in packs of three, six and eight, with the six pack costing you $7.99. If you decide that’s not enough of a bargain you can go with a combo meal, which adds on the usual fries and drink, for $8.99.
What I’m trying to figure out is why is Burger King pumping their $1 menu items and $5 meal deals and then rolling out some ribs for 8 bucks? Also, you fast food restaurants already ruined the burger, French fries, burritos, apple pies, and countless other food items. Can’t you leave ribs alone? They don’t belong on fast food menus. They belong in restaurants where there are plates and napkins.
Visit Burger King’s website to see one of the more annoying things ever advertised by a fast food company..
Four tender pork ribs with a smoky BBQ sauce. So you get all the meaty taste of BBQ ribs without the hassle, smoky clothes and runny eyes of a real BBQ.
No hassle, smoky clothes, or runny eyes of a real BBQ? Of a REAL BBQ???? Let me get this straight. You’re taking BBQ ribs, something that is traditionally messy(in a good way) to eat, and advertising it as a clean, anti-BBQ version? Like, “come get ribs, but they’re ribs that aren’t messy, smoky, and don’t have any flavor so your eyes won’t run”. Seriously Burger King? I feel like punching you right now.
Last thing, Has anyone ever had broiled ribs before? I sure haven’t.
