After almost two months of trying to avoid it, I finally headed in to the Burger King on the Foreshore last week Friday, motivated by the absence of a sizable queue (took me about 10 minutes to get through the door).
Here's a quick review: Place looks a mess...maybe it was just the traffic but jeez, it was very busy in there with what seemed like a hundred people behind the counter in a space that's about the size of an RDP house.
Service: Quick. Paid by card, no problem and settled on a double Whopper. Don't usually have fries with my burger but had the meal...just so I could get the full perspective.
Bottomless soda: After one small cup of Miranda (sp?) I had enough...couldn't pluck up the courage to head on over to the dispenser to fill it up again, seeing that it was also crowded.
First bite: I've got my whopper, with soda and sit down next to what looks like an Indian family from Durban (it must've been an outing for them). The bun was fresh, comparable to Micky D's...The burger was okay, only problem is that the lettuce was bathed in salad dressing/mayo. Overlooked that and tucked in. Nice, no sign of a gherkin. After about 20 minutes I was done.
Afterwards: Got into my car and set off to Table View...and as soon as I got home, I started feeling funny in the face...you know that feeling when you've had too much bad food and that fat feels like it can escape through your pores? That's how I felt.
To be honest there was nothing significant about the burger, but I felt funny afterwards. From that moment I told myself I'm never setting foot inside there again unless there's a Zombie apocalypse and they're the last joint with sustenance. But yeah, you're not missing out on much. I'll stick to Nando, Steers and Micky D's sans the fries (which is too salted for my liking).
