...The ever popular Burger King,founded in the USA in 1954,is now owned by a British company and is reputedly the second largest fast food chain ,after McDonalds,in the world.

Burger King outlets tend to have a bright,stylish and contemporary decor and a pleasant ambience.,designed to attract young patrons.So,of course, do most of the other fast food chains as well. How then does Burger King differ ?

In my opinion its biggest strength lies in its burgers,the big whopper,whopper junior, double cheeseburger.etc. These are so called flame broiled, meaning they are cooked over a open grill. Of course basically burgers are burgers,none too nutritional, and with a high fat content when they served up with the likes of french fries. However, I do feel the flame broiled process does result in a slightly more tasty product and maybe one that is a little healthier. Burger King also have a variety of toppings,their french fries are of a reasonable texture, and,like most of their competitors they also offer various combinations of fish and chicken and a few desserts.So far I have found the service in the outlets I have visited to be tolerable,if not outstanding.Their breakfast meals too are not bad value for money.

Overall, I am not a great fan of fast food eateries but I suppose grudgingly I would put Burger King and Nandos among the better ones.Their big plus point is convenience : if you are traping around Canterbury on a wet Sunday afternoon and starting to get hungry,you will most probably find that the only places open are the likes of Burger King and McDonalds.
