What could they have done worse than being a burger king
They were voting to become a Burger Democracy.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing paper crowns is no babies for a system of government!
Being a burger
princeAndrew?
Excuse me … Fux???
BIG fux
BIG fux XXL
That was my nickname in college
No it wasn’t.
BACON FUX !!
It appears to be German.
This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad shop. Maybe being a franchise wasn’t helping their business, so they dropped it.
It might be better than BK, that wouldn’t be hard to do. BK is the worst of the major franchise burger shops, by far. I’ll eat at Arby’s before I eat at a BK.
Say what you will about Arby’s…
… There’s no “but”. I won’t stop you.
(Their spicy mayo - sorry, “horseradish sauce” - is pretty good though)
And now you can completely avoid Arby’s and still get your Horsey Sauce fix: https://copykat.com/arbys-horsey-sauce/
I make a homemade version of the Arby’s Beef and Cheddar. Even bought a deli slicer just to get that piled-up effect. The Horsey Sauce recipe above nails it. The Arby Sauce however… I’ve yet to find a proper copycat recipe. I think there might be citrus (lime?) in Arby Sauce but it’s not listed in the ingredients.
Yeah so now I’m hungry, thanks a lot 😂
Also potato cakes. Mmm.
It depends on the country I guess. Here in France I’d do a BK over McDonald’s any day. But it would loose to a Roadside (local burger chain) in most cases.
Same in sweden. I don’t eat if macd is the only option. BK is good but mAx burgers are better (when you only look at fast"food")
In the middle of the US all of the fast food chains are hit and miss depending on location. There are like 11 McDonald’s nearby and two of them are consistently good. There are at least three BKs and only one of them is consistently good.
When the BK is good I find it far better than McDonald’s. It is probably the fry grease they use and the open fire for cooking the meat, but also the vegetables and buns and everything else are just better imho. Good enough to get me to stop by a few times a year.
Don’t you besmirch the Sauce of the Gods.
Arby’s
I just threw up in my mouth a little…
Hey, they were decent a couple… checks notes… decades ago…
Last time I ate at an Arby’s was around '95, they were terrible then too.
I remember the roast beef & cheddar being pretty good, especially with a coupon for 2 for $5 or something. Add some horsey sauce and they were quite good.
Fries were always hit and miss. Sometimes they had crispy curly fries, and sometimes they were soggy.
I dunno, BK doesn’t wreck my guts like McDonald’s
I would say that Jack in the Box is the worst of the big national chains, but it’s been a long time since I ate at any of those places.
Really? They were awesome when I was a kid, but they didn’t have a store near me until recently, so I haven’t had them for… 15 years? They were my favorite back then, have they gotten worse?
Me: One fux, please.
Burger
King: Sorry, we’re fresh out of fux to give.How many fucking people did their food have to kill to lose the Burger King franchise?
Probably gave too many people the correct order. That goes against the BK franchise code if the one near me is anything to go by.
Sorry, that’s an trade secret.
All I know is that I am getting some mixed feelings from the menu items with names like “Big Fux XXL”
Bacon fux
“Bacon fux” ? “Big fux” ? WTH?
Burger Steward. In charge until the return of the King.
Burger Regency.
At first I thought this was part of the No Kings protest.
Ingolstadt apparently. I couldn’t find the exact one, but there appears to be only 2 burger kings in the city, and I suspect it’s this one (warning: google streetview)
God what a beautiful city Ingolstadt looks like from above though, with the Danube flowing through it, and the old city having an actual green belt around it
Edit: @zout@fedia.io found it here!
Fun fact in case you didn’t know, the green belt you are referring to is the leftover area of what was once the city wall. You can still kinda see it in the star like shape of the green belt and there are a few old fortifications left for sightseeing.
Well it’s gorgeous as fuck.
Gorgeous as fux.
aha! I see Vauban marched his way over there too then
I walked past there this summer, that one is still a burger king.
do you know where it is then, I typed in “Burger, ingolstadt” and got mostly nonsense results
So, I’m still googling it, it seems the one south of Ingolstadt was from the same owner, but this one had just re-opened last summer (I’m assuming new management) after being closed for a while. Still haven’t found the “Burger” one though.
Yeah and the only source of this Burger is that one tweet, I literally cannot find any other information about it from another source
Found it, here!
Via this source /edit
YES! You even got the blue building in the background
Nice one! I’ll update my original post
I have no idea, I was there during my vacation.
I was thinking about trying Jack-in-the-Box for the first time so I downloaded the app, and my local joint wasn’t listed. Did some digging and they were apparently delisted because their google reviews were truly awful. Exclusively one stars for the last year. Stuff like “person in the drive through window tried to climb out of the window like the girl from The Ring and fight me” and “the chicken was still straight up frozen, like directly from the freezer not a little cold in the middle”. I thought they always had a long line because it was good, but it turns out people get stuck in that line for an hour and can’t get out.
That’s too bad, because Jack-in-the-box is one of the better chains IMO.
That probably shows they’re at least still trying.
Yes, I’ll have the Junior Whop.
I’m going for the Big Fux XXL.
It is probably like the KFC in a neighboring town. They owner was so cheap and let it get run into the ground. When he stopped paying the chain they were going to come remove his signs. So he Painted Chicken over all of them and started buying the same or similar products from the the local food distributor he got a lot of KFC’s products from. Of course it was his shitty management that lead to that and things didn’t improve after it was just ‘Chicken’. It stayed there three or four more years though.
