pineapple bacon & bbq sauce is pretty good on a burger

Every Friday I go over to my parents' house and it is designated as burger night. My dad buys angus for the patties and grills them and I prepare all of the fixin's.

We prepare them mushroom-swiss style so I saute mushrooms and onions with butter, garlic and salt. When everything is said and done, my burger is as such: Angus patty, melted Swiss cheese, sauted mushrooms and onions, mayonaise and pickles. It's so awesome and when I see a mushroom-swiss burger at a restaurant, I just want to go home and make one myself.

Angus is also really good with barbecue or A-1 sauce as evidenced by Burger King's steakhouse burger. If you just go to the store and buy the stuff, you can make four to six burgers of the same variety for the price of two at BK.

In my country, it's only Burger King that serves fastfood-style burgers with quality.

Other than that, if you go higher, then it's usually TGI Fridays or any of those higher-end American-style restaurants that serve the big and chunky burgers.

It costs more though..........but at least you can request for unlimited tomato ketchup (esp. if it's Heinz Tomato Ketchup)

You know good ketchup, sir.

Well, granted it is the best currently offered here.

ALTHOUGH.........

The only thing is that Heinz Tomato Ketchup sold here is made in Indonesia (by PT UFC Heinz Indonesia I think).........so it is unlike the Heinz there in America which is produced locally there (from the original source).

Nevertheless, it is still Heinz Tomato Ketchup so I wouldn't mind that much at all.

----

Still, if there is no Heinz around then well........that's fine as there is always the locally-produced Del Monte Tomato Ketchup in either Original Blend or Sweet Style Blend. It still tastes like very yummy tomato ketchup. So yeah, I'm fine with either Heinz or Del Monte for my Tomato Ketchup.

P.S.
Here's some interesting FYI out about the Del Monte corporation:

-Del Monte has a small stake in South East Asian food company UFC (which is also the distributor of Heinz products in ASEAN)
-Del Monte is also in charge of all Kikkoman products in Asia Pacific
-Del Monte Pacific (which handles operations in the Philippines and Indian subcontinent) is now acquired by NutriAsia (the one who handles UFC which handles Heinz products here) and San Miguel Corporation
-It's Fresh produce division (ie. fruits and vegetables) though is handled by Del Monte themselves for ALL markets worldwide

Del Monte Foods - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Del Monte Worldwide

Del Monte probably has the best canned fruits imo

Indeed.

Although DOLE is not bad either (I think you guys there at stateside have heard of that brand as well) but locally and globally, Del Monte is still KING.

As Brit burgers go, the Meat Beast Whopper from BK looks pretty awesome. Whopper + bacon + pepperoni = a real man's snack food (for a limited time only).

Yeah

BK pretty much makes the best fastfood burgers as far as I know.

----------

Personally

May faves from them would be:
-Double Mushroom Swiss Burger
-Chicken Sandwich
-Double Bacon Cheeseburger
-Double Teriyaki Burger (for Hong Kong only

)

So that's pretty much it

Epic Burger | Not All Burgers Are Created Equal

I've eaten there a couple of times.

They got pretty DAMN GOOD burgers. Dunno if I'd call 'em epic, but the best I've had from any restaurant thus far.

karinkanzuki · 09-17-2008, 10:12 PM

I'm soooo surprised, Blackraven! You keep saying BK is awesome.. and REALLY, I think it's one of the worst fastfood burger joints EVER! D: But then again, that's me.

If the Philippines (or more like In and Out) ever expand with their restaurants.......... then MAN you have to go there. Hands down.

BP! · 09-20-2008, 07:09 AM

Just give me a good Bacon Cheeseburger (Swiss) with some mayo and I'm good to go when I need a fix.

Now aside from that, for when I really need the good stuff...

- Crown
- BBQ Sauce
- Bacon
- Fried Onion Strings or Crispy (Not Uber-Thick or greasy) Onion Rings
- Monterey Jack
- Burger
- Mayo
- Heel

That is all I need. Maybe a bit of leaf lettuce before the bacon, but not a lot. Never shredded either. That stuff is impossible to remove without making a mess. Even harder to get it all off while leaving the sauce/spread on the bun.

Well it's fastfood.

There is some sort of quality..............but that's not a priority unfortunately

Still, it's better than all the other fastfood joints we have here when it comes to burgers (including Mcdonalds and Carls Jr. wherein the latter didn't last long here).
