The Whopper is my favorite thing from Burger King.

BK was my favorite back in the '70s when their burgers were really flame broiled, and you could taste it. Later, they still claimed they were flame broiled, but that tast was gone and it just tasted like every other burger joint. Whendy's became my new go-to, fast food place. The burgers are still good and I love their chocolate Frosty.

They aren't flame broiled anymore? I suspect they legally shouldn't be able to claim they are if they aren't. And I'd think they'd still be able to use kitchen equipment that would cook them that way. I still think Burger King's burgers have a unique taste that I don't notice from other burger places.

I really like Wendy's too - They're one of my favorites now for burgers. They also claim that their burger patties are never frozen, which would contribute to their quality (if true). I think their prices are a bit high though, like many other fast food places these days, and they don't offer many deals in their app, so I don't go there often. But Wendy's is a place I go to often if I want a fast food burger.

Wendy's used to have great deals in their app, they also used to have great coupons.
They also used to have weekly deals, I rarely goto Wendy's these days, My favorite is a Wendy's double with cheese.
Burger King used to be good, the Whaler fish sandwich was great, but like the other guy said the flame broiled taste is gone.

... Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

Mone than "a bit" IMO. When DQ reopened after COVID, their prices nearly doubled on everything. What used to cost ~$7, was now $13.xx. I haven't been back since, or any other restaurant, unless someone else is paying. :)

I tried a DQ burger & fries a couple years ago, and I thought it wasn't bad, but nothing special. I liked their old menu from years ago, which had their "deluxe" burgers and the "ultimate" burger, grilled chicken sandwich, fish strips, etc.. I like that they still make their Blizzards, but with the prices so high these days, I rarely go there.

They also used to have the best fish sandwich, crispy and not soggy like everyone else's... then they got rid of it for some reason... then brought back some nowhere near as good replacement... <meh meh meh complain>... Ah, who cares now, I'm no longer a customer anyway ;).
