/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Burger King opened in 2002 here in Mexico. It was the second time they opened here, since back in the 80s they tried and failed.

My dad bought me a "Deluxe" burger from the newly opened restaurant. It had a special kind of bread and it was absolutely delicious. They discontinued it shortly and I started buying BK's other options for years, each one more disappointing than the last. Bacon Xtreme, guacamole madness, shit like that, and they always fucking sucked.

When I remembered BK existed I tried their chicken burgers, their nuggets, their bbq bacon burgers, even back in a job I had a guy and I went three weeks to the BK because of some coupons we had, and I always bought a different thing. Except for one burger I never tried. The WHOPPER.

In all of my failed attempts to connect with BK, I never ever tried the Whopper. Nobody I knew liked BK and nobody ever said good things about it, so what was the point.

Then it's 2019, I'm newly married and for some reason out of boredom and in the middle of a diet I decide my cheat meal should be a Whopper. Crazy cravings from a starving ex fat man, the Whopper seemed huge in my hands after months of not having a burger, and oh boy, it was absolutely delicious

17 years of my life struggling with BK, always thinking less of them because of their inferior options.

But now I'm in love with the Whopper.
