Most every Burger King is dirtier than most of the McDonalds or Wendys I've seen

A fresh whopper is actually pretty decent. Problem is finding a fresh whopper

The Whopper with cheese was awesome, but upset my stomach every time

BK is like McDonalds for rednecks.

Blueto

1/1/14 12:47pm

Like above, a just cooked, hot Whopper sandwich is the best fast food

Wendy's is downright just bad all the time for me
