Burger King Offering Extra-Long Burger Smothered in Butter

Fast-food chain Burger King has added a new treat to its arsenal.

Behold: the Extra Long Buttery Cheeseburger. It features two patties covered in a buttery garlic sauce and is served on a toasted hoagie bun. There are veggies on it too, for you health nuts who may be worried the extra long buttery cheeseburger isn’t for you.

Mashable reported that Burger King began rolling out the new burger on Monday. The item will reportedly be featured on the restaurant’s 2 for $5 menu.

According to Burger King’s website, the sandwich contains 710 calories.

So to all those Burger King customers who longed for an elongated, extra-buttery burger, at least, you can “Have it Your Way.”

A lot of food has been helped by a sensible application of garlic.

Remove the bun, and it’s Atkins’ friendly.

Major quick-service food chains don’t close restaurants because of “how the food was”. They close because of changes in neighborhoods, demographics and competitive factors.

Every piece of grilled meat tastes better when you add a pat of butter. Hamburger or filet.

“On the flip side: a lot of food has been saved by garlic.”

Garlic is okay if it’s cooked a long time and not the predominant flavor in a dish, but it can easily overwhelm a dish

Funny.

Let me guess, the butter they speak of is not real butter a butter-like food substance made from chemicals we cannot pronounce.

And the garlic? don’t ask.

Who comes up with these new ideas? Sounds disgusting!!!

<><><><

You don’t cook much steak, do you? Actually the technique works well for any protein. Fish really enjoy the lemon butter baste.

When one is browning, say, a filet mignon at any restaurant worth eating at, what exactly do you think they are browning that steak in?

Flavored butter, that’s what. Tipping the pan up so they can baste that thing mightily. Actually the technique works well for any protein. Fish really enjoy the lemon butter baste.

I just cooked a flatiron steak the other night for the wife
and myself, and I took a sprig of thyme, threw in the saute pan with a couple of tablespoons of butter, and just wow.
