What a Bunch of Jerks. Burger King is Dunking on McDonalds in the Name of Mental Health Awareness.

It's a good time to have fun being a jerk. In case you missed it, The Carolina Hurricanes are taking the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs by storm (Storm Surge, more specifically) by embracing their Bunch of Jerks label given to them by angry old man Don Cherry and having fun with it.

Now Burger King steps up to the plate and takes on McDonald's happy meals with their latest combos that are just about however you are feeling. Just DGAF? Order the DGAF meal and have a Whopper your way no matter how you are feeling.

The New York Post had this story and post, so we are linking to them here.

Like Burger King's promotion says: No one is happy all the time, and that's OK. Being a jerk is part of life sometimes. Stop putting up with Jerk shaming. Feel how you want, and eat a delicious Whopper washed down with the tears of your enemies.

Take Warning.

The Big King Weak Sacue: Bland, Lettuce-Free Burger King Version of the Big Mac

I just tried the Big King from Burger King, which is obviously the BK attempt to outdo McDonald's Big Mac. Food NEVER looks like it does in promotional pictures. So I won't hold that against them. Though I should note there was certainly no leaf lettuce or lettuce of any kind included on the burger I just bought. I did not have time to take a picture of my sandwich. I was hungry and ordered the Big King spontaneously. My son asked for a Burger King cheeseburger. So I just picked something I hadn't had a thousand times before.

 Even though the pictures never tell the true story, this one seems to suggest something different. Look at the full leaf of lettuce- not like the shredded iceberg McDonalds uses. Look at the full, thick slices of onion. To me, Burger King is trying to say this is like the adult's Big Mac. Their drive through has a sign that says something like "Taste the broiled difference." I remember when BK made a point to say they weren't that child's Happy Meal place with the clown. They are The CROWN, Dammit! Where you can get a grownup char-broiled fast food burger. No wimpy diced onions and shredded lettuce here!

The execution was just a mouthful of bland. The sauce, which I haven't mentioned yet, didn't look or taste anything like Big Mac Sauce. The color resembled cheese sauce, and it tasted like nothing. It had no zip, tang, NOTHING. It was just there. The price was $5.99 for a small meal, which is the same as a Big Mac meal in this market. If you want a tasty burger in a similar configuration, my local Frischs' Big Boy offers the "Big Boy." Like McDonald's, the sauce is a highlight- it actually tastes like something. Big Boy sells jars of their sauce in the restaurant. I don't think there will be any demand for bottled Big King sauce.

When it comes down to it, the Big King is not a premium burger offering. It's like a value menu item without the value. If you just need something a little filling, there is nothing about this that makes me want to spend more than $1. The Mcdouble from McDonald's and any of the value menu burgers from Wendy's are much tastier and cost almost $3 less. It appears that the Big King replaced the Double Stacker in the BK meal lineup. Even the BK stackers offered much better value than the Big King, in my opinion. What really does this in for me is the lack of any taste. It's 2 burgers and 3 pieces of bread, with American cheese and weak sauce.

Food Stuffs: Foods that are better cold.

I like cold food. Always have. I'd rather have a cold sub than a toasted one. I'd rather eat cereal in the morning than eggs. Gazpacho is my favorite soup! So I got to thinking about what some of my all time favorite cold foods are....

PIZZA! Obviously. Everyone knows cold pizza is delicious, but to me there's one pizza above all others that is best when cold, and that's Dominos Deep-dish Pepperoni pizza. It's delicious when it's hot & fresh... but there's something that happens during it's fridge nap that causes this pizza to be a delicious dish when you chow down the next morning! Unfortunately, there are also some pizzas that SUCK when cold... Papa Johns... Lil' Caesars... yuck. Lil' Caesars pizza the next day is practically cardboard. It's no wonder they only cost 5 bucks.

Fried chicken! Cold Fried chicken is amaaaazing. Sidenote: shred up some fried chicken for a really awesome chicken salad. Which also reminds me, a couple weeks ago I went to Burger King and they had Buy One, Get One free classic chicken sandwiches. Now, I get mine with extra pickles and cheese... but I could only put back one of them. So, I threw the other one in the fridge knowing I'd likely want a snack later on, and wouldn't you know it? That sonofabitch was delicious! I threw a little extra mayo and some mustard on it, but it was really awesome cold. I was shocked!

Meatloaf! Two thick slices of wheat toast, two generous slices of cold meatloaf, swiss cheese, and some mayo. Holy cow!

Egg rolls! This one I found kind of recently. I wanted a midnight snack and there was a leftover egg roll in the fridge, so I just munched on it, and it was pretty damn tasty. With it cold, the cabbage and carrots were a little bit crispier and it had more crunch. They can be a little plain, so I guess you could dip them in some soy sauce or something.

So that's a few I like... what about you, readers? Are there any foods that I didn't mention here that you like?
