If you order your burger “Off The Broiler”, they take a fresh uncooked hamburger (or two, if you get a double), send it thru the broiler conveyor, and in about seven minutes, you get a freshly made hamburger, not one that's been sitting under their heat lamps for God knows how long.

oh nice it's crazy that everyone doesn't request that.
ppl value their time so strangely, won't wait 7min to have a fresh made burger but will stand in line for ridiculously long amount of time to get an item worth $5 for free.

Grats on your BK experience RBK!

I've yet to try a whopper off the broiler; that will be remedied this summer.

Re: Doordash; Can you not order delivery thru the BK app? I just did a test order, I get charges $3 delivery fee plus $2.25 service fee. Also you can use deals in the app. $0 delivery fee for orders over $25. Interesting

not sure I've ever had a whopper in my life. as a teen I was in love with the BK broiler but never got a burger and then pretty much wrote off BK once they got rid of the BK broiler.

so randomly had a whopper the other day and godamn it was DELICIOUS.
way better than ricks imo and aside from in n out n shake shack which I don't even consider fast food I can't think of a better FF burger I've ever had.

I owe the king a massive apology cuz man that was just an absolutely delicious burger.

I am somewhat curious about the western bacon burger from carls jr both because of this is the end and the first we feast burger show which lavished major praise upon it.

only thing I've ever had from carls is the BBQ chicken sandwich.

what's the best burger at carls/hardees and how does it compare to the whopper?

for the record I don't generally like all kinds of toppings on my burger usually just like them as simple as possible with either lettuce, tomatoes n ketchup+mustard or swiss +teriyaki sauce.

Wait till the Angry Whopper comes back for a visit. Jalapenos, etc but not the crazy hot some restaurants do.

Western Bacon from Carl's is also right up there. The BBQ chicken is also one of my faves.

Reminds me of my Dad buying 50 $.10 cheeseburgers at McD's promo and reheating them in the micro

lol that was the first thing that came to mind when I made that post but also when I was in college I worked for KNBR radio and covered all the raider, GSW, n giants games and we would get there way early hang all the promo stuff around the stadium then open a tent stand outside and give away all kinds of really crappy cheap "prizes" and fans would wait in line for a solid hour even in the rain to spin the prize wheel and get their absolutely worthless prize.
