Debuting a new, semi-regular feature! I
tryout questionable food items so that you don’t have to in… Steveats. (Note:
Title developed in about 10 seconds of brainstorming.)
NOPE. Hence
we have the new Burger King Whopperrito, which is exactly as successful as you’d
imagine a burrito by Burger King to be. It’s basically a chopped-up Whopper in
a crappy, microwaved burrito wrap. (As they were preparing my order, I
literally heard them say, “It’s almost ready, I just need to nuke the burrito.”)
There is a queso
sauce on it that’s somewhat tasty, but way too much lettuce, and as you can see
from the burrito I got, there wasn’t much burrito prep training going on at BK
to prepare. The “flour tortilla” was basically like eating a warmed-over cloth
napkin. It was easily the blandest tortilla I’ve had in my life, even more so
than the generic cheapo ones you can buy from the store.
A better
idea for Burger King instead of screwing around with a burrito? Just offer a
Mexican or Texas or Zesty Whopper! Spicy queso, diced pickles, and zesty
seasoning of some sort. Or heck, just bring back the avocado burger, which
should have never left the menu.
As is, the
Whopperrito is edible, if you like the Whopper. However, I’d rank it near the
bottom of available burritos from fast food places. It’s about $3.50, which is
triple the cost of better items at, of all places, Taco Bell. Even the
Dunkin’ Donuts breakfast burrito was quite a bit tastier than BK’s offering,
and pretty much all of the fast casual places like Chipotle, Moe’s and Caliente
blow this burrito away.
