I really need to cut down on my eating. I've put on some weight of late. But since yesterday was the last Monday of the month I decided to have a cheap lunch. Of late Burger King in Canada has been advertising their $4.99 King Meal Deal. You get a small fries, small drink, and your choice of two cheeseburgers, 2 Chicken Jr. chicken burgers, or one of each. I took one of each.
The Chicken Jr. is the equivalent of A&W's Chicken Buddy Burger, with lettuce instead of pickles. I think it's a better tasting chicken patty than A&W's offering, although both are skinny. BK didn't skimp on the lettuce on mine, and I ended up pulling some of the bigger chunks out. The cheeseburger is the typical BK cheeseburger, and I think the size of the patty they use in this and some other sandwiches has shrunk over the years. If you've had one before you know the taste. I actually didn't mind the small fries here, but would prefer a larger drink.
All in all it was about what I expected. It won't set the world on fire, but it's sure to appeal to BK regulars.
On the other hand I think I prefer the competition, in Saskatoon at least, for a five buck combo. Various Dairy Queen restaurants here(I'm not sure all do) offer a five dollar double cheeseburger lunch special between 11 AM and 2 PM , with fries and a regular size drink. I like their burgers better these days than BK's, and you get more fries and a larger drink.
