With the exception of the potato – which I’m not so sure I would like on my burger- that looks good to me. I suppose you think
that because it’s “high fat” it’s like a “heart attack on a plate” or something. I for one, would eat that concoction without a shred of guilt.
I have to say though – nothing beats a plain ol’ Whopper in my book. Love ‘em. If only the idiot teens at the counter would stop putting cheese on mine!
The thing… it looks like it could eat me. I don’t want to sit at my plastic bench in BK and think I’m about to engage in an epic life-or-death struggle with my nutritional intake. That unless I consume the essense of my food, taking in its very spirit, adding its strength to my own, what will ensue will be a lesson fathers will tell their sons in hushed tones, shadows dancing against the walls as if trying to leap from thier hosts as not to hear the terrible tale, of the man that would be the food of food.
Frak that!
Actually, that’s what I had for dinner last night. Now that BK has free WiFi in many locations, they’re getting a lot of my business. And the ads have made me curious.
My judgment: eh. Nothing special. But honestly, the potato added a little something. Every time I took a bite, I said, “Hmm, this is different.” Whereas the bacon and the sauce were ho-hum.
Kevin… Calm down. Calm down, Kevin. It’s only a burger, with stuff on it.
Good grief, if this freaks you out, then by all means, avoid Red Robin!
Mmmmm… Banzai Burger…
I don’t want to sit at my plastic bench in BK and think I’m about to engage in an epic life-or-death struggle with my nutritional intake.
Seriously Kevin – do the health nazis have you so brainwashed about so-called “healthy eating” that you would be afraid to eat a little ol’ burger? Life or death? Are you really convinced that a burger will kill you?
Tell you something. A very good friend of mine is a 72 y/o hearty and healthy man that has no chronic diseases and take no medications. Walks his dogs everyday and runs a salvage yard – goes to work 6 days a week.
He eats lunch at BK every single day and has done so since 1980.
If I’m hankering for a Whopper, I stop by the yard at lunchtime so that he’ll invite me to lunch and buy me BK.
Martin,
surprisingly this has LESS calories and fat than a banzai burger.
for me, though, it’s all about the whopper, jr. no cheese.
zach.,
I understand the whopper,jr appeal. It’s a tasty grilled burger.
But for me, there’s almost no food out there that isn’t improved by adding pineapple.
martin,
we’re in agreement on that. maybe a whopper, jr. no cheese + pineapple? banzai, jr. no cheese?
Say, wait a minute. It’s just a burger. I thought for sure I’d be treated to the horribly creepy visage of The King, Burger King’s ne’er do well mascot who may or may not be a serial killer, and whose evil thoughts lie hidden beneath a horrible plasticine mask. Yet it’s … just a burger. Which reminds me: Burger King should have kept that sourdough bacon burger on the menu. I actually really liked it, so it was only natural they would get rid of the thing.

I am not a health nut. One look at my waist size will prove this.
It’s just something about that burger that frightens me. Deep in my core.
And I frequent Red Robin. I often order the Royal Burger. A fried egg on a cheese burger is genius!
RR has finally come to town. My cholesterol meds are looking forward to it!
I have a very carefully tuned cholesterol+caffeine circulation system. That burger might just work.
My nearest Red Robin, however, is several hundred miles away, in Atlanta, GA. Maybe if I’m passing through sometime, but it’s unlikely that I’ll be giving the Banzai Burger a run anytime soon.
Besides, after four years of ‘cooked breakfast*’ in the UK and Ireland (and, admittedly, two heart attacks), I think I can stand the BK stress.
*’Cooked Breakfast’ is comprised of eggs, fried bacon (back, streaky, or both), breakfast sausage, black pudding (blood sausage), fried potatoes, fried tomatoes, sauteed (i.e. fried) mushrooms, and fried bread. If in Ireland, substitute or add two kinds of potato bread (boxty, fried; farls, not).
After a breakfast like that, you don’t need to eat until sometime late at night. [Correction: you can't eat until sometimes late at night!]
…You’re frightened by that?
Look a Luther burger right in the grilled donut hole and tell me it’s not a scarier food item than a burger with fries on top of it. Go ahead. I dare you.

Kevin, do you knowingly spread falsehoods or are you merely ignorant of the actual facts when you comment on Expelled?
So… when did I stop beating my wife? Is that what you mean to ask?
