Burger King Unleashes Black Halloween Whopper—And It's Frighteningly Good
Today Food ^ | 09/28/2015 | Alexandra Bulow

From September 28 through Halloween Day, the burger giant is offering its popular patty sandwich inside a pitch-black bun that's flavored with A.1. sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. The burger comes loaded with the usual Whopper fixings (melted American cheese, pickles, white onion, tomato and mayonnaise) but this one also has a dash of A.1. sauce—something I don't think I've tried in over 20 years.

The verdict: it's kinda, sorta...well...okay, really good.

The black bun has the squishiness of a Martin potato roll and a tiny hint of black pepper that's a good complement to the smoky charcoal-broiled burger, crunchy iceberg lettuce and creamy mayo. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the addition of the A.1. sauce really brings out the umami flavors of the sandwich. Who am I?

Yup. Never liked the BK whopper for that reason. They taste barfy too. In and Out is where I go for fast food, and Panda Express.

Wake me up when they get REALLY ‘edgy’ doing ‘hot cross buns’ at Easter.

Toasted real sourdough bun would be even better.

Actually I really like Burger King Whoppers. I get the Whopper Jr. usually. I will definitely try the Halloween Whopper, because the idea of A-1 being in the bun really appeals to me. I’ll bet this Whopper tastes mighty good.

They need Al Sharpton as the celebrity spokesperson for this sandwich, every time he opens his mouth he's telling a "black whopper".

Had lunch at BK today and saw the Halloween Whopper but went for the extra long jalepeno cheeseburger instead, which was mediocre. Now I’m regretting my choice (...yeah, first world problems).

The thing about Whoppers in the year 2015 is that they are truly delicious when you get good one but it’s so rare that you get a good one.

The Black Burger, known as the Kuro Burger, was first introduced to Japan. It has lettuce and tomato. The beef patty is seasoned with black pepper and has been compared to salisbury steak. Its buns and cheese are blackened with the smoke of bamboo charcoal. The special black sauce, is a mélange of garlic, shoyu, and squid ink with a slathering of mayo. It has become a big hit in Japan.

That’s funny, but the last thing I want to think of when I’m eating is Sharpton.

Well since Burger King is notoriously NASTY BAD I think I’ll pass.

Your picture is actually NOT a joke. That’s burger king where they couldn’t care less about ‘your way’.

Sorry FRiend, to make amends, enjoy one of the first McDonald's TV commercials with no less than Willard Scott portraying Ronald McDonald:

Does anyone know how to make a great hamburger or cheeseburger?

My late wife could make a fairly good one but I simply can’t seem to do it. I buy premium meat, fresh buns, fresh tomatoes, American cheese, good dill pickles, etc. but I can’t seem to quite make a really good one.
