  • Burger King

    Along Highway 9
    New Jersey
    http://www.bk.com

    Along the way to Atlantic City, there are a number of rest areas and each of them only had Burger King, TCBY, and Sbarro.  I was hoping for a McDonald's but I settled for Burger King because it was already 1:30pm. 

    Highway rest areas usually had herds of people who just want a quick meal so at this Burger King they have pre-made most of their sandwiches where you can pick up what you want. 

    Original Chicken Sandwich:

    It was warm but it was fairly dry probably from being kept warm for too long.  Not much lettuce and not much anything else.  Burger King has some of the worst batter that always seems to come out hard and dry.

    Fries:

    Crispy fries with very little potato.  Came out cooled.  At least it wasn't over salted this time.  Not as yummy as McDonald's for sure.

    Triple Whopper Sandwich:

     

    This was a great idea at the time.  A whopper is ~$7, a dollar more makes it a double and a dollar over that gives you three meat patties.  There was just SOOO much oil.  These patties look like they were pre-charboiled then re-cooked in a vat of oil.  Here's some nutritional facts I found on Burger King's web site: 1160 calories, 76g of fat, and 1170mg of sodium.  I think that is the whole day's worth of everything.  I wasn't hungry for the whole day.  By the middle of the day I was thinking the triple Whopped wasn't such a great idea I had originally thought.  I don't recommend it if you value your stomach and health.

    A whopper has a taste that just stays in my stomach and never goes away for a long time.  I'd only go if I were hungry and I would never come again for a very long time.

    Years ago when I ate fast food frequently (too frequently) one of my go-to orders was that same chicken sandwich. The chicken was always dry which is probably what accounted for their use of practically a jar of mayo. In retrospect the thing was disgusting and I'll never understand why I would order it time and time again forgetting never to order light or no mayo. Maybe fast food screws with the brain?

    160 calories, 76g of fat, and 1170mg of sodium?!?! that's just asking for trouble...

    Mm, it depends on the location for Burger King.
    Like some locations are not that bad,
    but overall the fat content and calories isn't worth it.
    Perhaps once in awhile, I'd go to eat that but as much
    now since I value my health a lot more than I did b4.
    It depends on the person but on average you ate about
    1/2 the calorie intake you're supposed to in a day.
    For a girl I think it's around 2000cal/day and for guys
    it's more since their metabolism is more usually and
    they tend to burn fat more easily and their height/weight too.
    But yeah.. I like other places more than Burger King.
