My opinion of the Burger King "Carolina BBQ" Whopper

What the hell is this thing supposed to be?

BK has its "Summer BBQ menu" which includes the confusing Bacon Sundae, a Texas BBQ Whopper and this sandwich.

This is a Bacon Whopper containing "1/4 lb of flame-broiled beef" with pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and, apparently, western NC barbecue sauce. And there lies the problem: Carolina BBQ is not, nor ever will be, beef. It's pork, and pork it shall remain. Beef is "grilled." (A LOT of beef is "grilled" in the Carolinas; if you were to "barbecue" any you'd be PNG'd out of the state by nightfall.)

It's also not a "Carolina burger with everything" because "everything" in the Carolinas includes chili and coleslaw, and not barbecue sauce.

Having said that, this is a very good sandwich. It would be nice if it'd remain on the menu after the special promotion ends, but that's not likely.

I gave it four stars for tasting really good, and subtracted two for false advertising.

Nutrition info: you don't want to know; let's just say no one ever went to BK for their health.
