BK Stackers

Holy Shit!
The recent announcement that Burger King would be introducing a line of sandwiches called BK Stackers begs the question: How come none of these other restaurants ever thought of making a quadruple cheeseburger? Clearly, this is what the game has been missing.
For a while now, I've been getting the triple cheeseburger they sell at Wendy's. I consider it somewhat gullier than Hardee's infamous Monster Thickburger, despite the fact that the Monster Thickburger might have it beat in terms of overall calories. You have to think a lot of that though, is coming from the mayonnaise, cheese, and bacon, rather than the beef.
Burger King's quadruple stacker (fuck those other two), meanwhile, manages to pile on more beef in addition to a shiteload of bacon and cheese. I don't have the nutrition facts for the Monster Thickburger handy, but I'm sure it beats it in that category as well. That biggest one comes with four slices of cheese, eight strips of bacon, and is said to contain more calories than two Big Macs.
"The BK Stacker is simple and built with the very ingredients our restaurant guests love best—meat, cheese and bacon," notes Denny Marie Post, Burger King's senior vice president and chief concept officer. "We're satisfying the serious meat lovers by leaving off the produce and letting them decide exactly how much meat and cheese they can handle."
Amen to that, Burger King.


I felt my arteries hardening just reading that...

picture of that BK quadruple stacker is truly
awesome. Talk about a cheeseburger that puts
you in a box 6 ft. under.
Posted by: Ed,Edd, and Eddy | July 19, 2006 at 12:11 PM
that looks SO FUCKING GOOD. Almost up there with the Luthor Vandross, but not quite.
Posted by: rar | July 19, 2006 at 12:12 PM
Why just four layers?
Why not FIVE? or SIX? Do you think there's a scientific reason why BK couldn't present a 6-layer stacker to its adoring fan base?
FUCK FOUR LAYERS.
I'm holding out for the good stuff.

Here in San Diego we have this thing called In-and-Out. As part of their "secret" menu, you can order "4 X 4s" (four patties, four cheese), "5x5s" (five patties, etc.). . . and on up to infinity, theoretically.

why not Julia?
with some things, like gold or p*ssy, the more
there is of it, the better
definitely better than chewing on tofu and
bean sprouts

I just ate the Quad Stacker a few minutes ago and it was fantastic. The bacon wasn't crisp enough, but other than that it was f'ing amazing.

No need for the plural "bitches" since,
"P-matik" and "diabetes" are the same person.

Why even bother with the bread? Why not just wrap it in more bacon?

I am glad that Burger King is not falling to the pressure of the media like McDonalds has...if people wanted healthy food they wouldnt eat fast food.
Posted by: Knox | July 19, 2006 at 02:53 PM
Well, if anything, McDonald's going in the healthier direction has opened Burger King up to be less healthy. They have to compete with McDonald's much less in the uber-greasy food market, and most of the public attention about food content is directed toward McDonald's, deflecting it away from whatever Burger King wants to do.

Here's what they REALLY look like. Pretty goddamn disgusting. Still, less fat and calories than the monster thickburger.

This looks like some good drunk/hungover food. It will take a couple of days off of your life though. I'm sure of it.

I agree with Honey B: it's just gross
RedZepprin: My family, all original St. Louisans was living in San Diego (Fletcher Hills), where I was born (Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa, and yes, I'm white; in Jan.'79) and raised there 'till age 4. My family and I moved back to this hot, humid-as- hell dump of a town in Mar.'83 cause of the recession (Thanks, Ron R.). I remember Carl's Junior being good, and Foster Freeze down there. Went back in Aug.'90 with dad and older sis to visit Disneyland (boring) and San Diego. I remember it being hot and muggy as hell in St. Louis the day we left, and 3.5 hours later stepping off the plane, it being only 80 degrees and no humidity, or very very little.
Now, at 225lbs, being 45-55 lbs. overweight, at 5'10" barefoot, I think one of those gross BK Quad-Whoppers would clog every last one of my arteries. Sorry for the length, folks.

the stackers really aint that great i got one last week it wasnt nearly as big or good as it looks in the picture.

BURGER KING!!! That's what I'm talkin' about. Them ni@@as don't be f@#kin' around.

Shit's called moderation bitchez! You muhfuckin food snobs disgust me! You can continue snackin on your smoked eel dick and stingray testicles wrapped in seaweed, I'll keep eating my burgers.
My only qualms with the new BK Stackers is they aren't nearly as big as they make them look in pictures. They're like plain ol cheeseburgers - which really aren't that big - piled on top of each other. You can get more satisfaction from a triple meat Whopper than you can get from that quadruple Stacker.
Oh yeah, FUCK MORGAN SPURLOCK!

A restaraunt where I live called "Burger Me" just added a luther vandross sangwich to their menu. The local newspaper gave it two thumbs way up. The sandwich made the front of the food and dining page in huge ass letters.
Luther vandross has made his mark on Bellingham Washington.

I'm with Holden Caulfield's son on this issue.
You culinary gourmands need to get away from
nibbling on nonsense and sit your heinies
down with a honest cheeseburger.
Posted by: Russian Roulette | July 20, 2006 at 02:16 PM
Shit son, I had one of these burgers not too long ago, and except for the fact that the quadstacker uses the whopper jr. meat (the other two use the regular burger meat [how do I know this? The cashier told me]) it's good as fuck!

BK: "Plus, I smoke 2-3 packs a day of GPC regular flavor ultralights, damn."
thats some old school shit.

Not to be overly critical, but the cashier at Burger King advising you on the contents of their sandwiches is somewhat akin to the janitor at the white house giving you the heads up on upcoming changes in the war on terror.. No??
Bacon = food crack.

Just got in the mail today all these "Buy One get one Free" coupons for these Bk stackers and I used the one for the quad stacker and then got a 99 cent whopper jr. So I got 2 Quad stackers and a whopper jr. for $5.94 with tax.
I had got the whopper jr. because I had originally planned to transfer the onions, tomato, lettuce, mayo, and ketchup onto the 2 quad stackers but then i thought what the hell why no just make 1 burger with all this.
I was determined to use all of the ingredients from all 3 burgers (minus pickles) so it took a while to figure out the right meat/cheese/bacon/bread ratio.
I had 4 meats, 4 cheeses, 2 breads, and 8 strips of bacon on both of the quadstackers to work with. So thats 8 meats, 8 cheeses, 4 breads, and 16 strips of bacon from the quadstackers. And the whopper jr. adds two more breads, another meat patty, and tomato, lettuce, mayo ketchup, and onions.
So in total this is what I had to work with: 9 meat patties, 8 slices of cheese, 16 strips of bacon, 3 round top buns, 3 flat bottom buns, onion, tomato, ketchup, lettuce, and mayo. I can't believe I got all this for less than 6 bucks with the coupon.
I wanted to spread out my bacon so each layer would be meat-cheese-bacon instead of all the bacon at the top of the burger like they have it.
So I figured I have 9 meat patties : 16 strips of bacon. So I had almost enough bacon to put 2 strips next to every meat patty but not quite.
Here is how to assemble the burger in exact order from bottom to top:
-bread-/ MEAT/ CHEESE/1 STRIP BACON/ MEAT/ CHEESE/ 2 STRIPS BACON/ -bread- / MEAT/ CHEESE/ 2 STRIPS BACON/ MEAT/ CHEESE/ 2 STRIPS BACON/
-bread- / MEAT/ KETCHUP/ MAYO/ ONION/ TOMATO/ LETTUCE/ -bread- / MEAT/ CHEESE/ 2 STRIPS BACON/ MEAT/ CHEESE/ 2 STRIPS BACON/ -bread- / MEAT/ CHEESE / 2 STRIPS BACON/ MEAT/ CHEESE/ 1 STRIP BACON/ -bread
I basically just left the whopper jr. intact in the center of the burger and built around it. I And I'm telling you that was the most satisfying burger I have ever eaten. It's about 2500 calories and 150 grams fat(no joke).

Absolutely disgusting. Anyone buying this product probably weighs easily over 300 lb and plans on dying before they reach their 50th birthday.
This is Americanism in an age of entitlement at it's best. Uncaring and obvlivious about anything, including ones health. This is why the government's laws are made to save the stupid from themselves.
