Burger King to Start Selling Beer at Whopper Bars

Seth Cardoza — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:34:38 +0000

Burger King plans to open a Whopper Bar in Miami’s South Beach in mid February. A Whopper Bar is much like your typical Burger King, but made to look fancier on the inside, and they let you put a variety of toppings and condiments on your burgers. This particular Whopper Bar will be the firs to sell beer though. The article doesn’t say what beers will be available, but from the picture I assume your choices will be Bud and Bud Light. Both will be in the aluminum bottles to keep the beer extra cool, while still allowing you to look classy with the bottle instead of a can. At $4.25 a bottle, or about $2.00 more with a combo, I’d recommend skipping the beer at Burger King and grabbing yourself a six pack at the grocery store. People aren’t going to Burger King to get a great meal, they’re going to get a cheap meal.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Seth Cardoza — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 04:52:04 +0000

Five Guys Burger and Fries has excellent food. The burgers are cooked to order, as are the fries, which is unusual for any restaurant. Both the burgers and fries are fresh. The burgers are juicy, but not too greasy. They have regular and Cajun style fries. I didn’t try the Cajun style, but their regular fries were plenty flavorful. They don’t skimp on the fries either. Their large order is about a 20 ounce cup of fries, but they overflow the cup and you get almost an extra half cup of fries in the bag. The large order is plenty for two or three people to split.

The great thing about Five Guys is the number of free toppings they have for your burgers. They have 15 toppings to choose from, and you can pick any number of them. I’ll spare you listing all 15 toppings, but I will tell you my favorite: lettuce, tomato, onion (diced), relish, pickles, and A1 sauce. They also have premium toppings like cheese and bacon, which cost extra. Five Guys Burgers and Fries is fresh and flavorful, at a price that is only a couple dollars more than the average over-processed burger joints.
