The Australian iteration, Hungry Jacks, also takes the odd dig at McDonalds here. Like offering to take "other restaurant's" free food vouchers for equivalent items during the Monopoly competitions.

Off-topic, but what is it about Burger King that their burgers always taste like liquid smoke? Is there a flavor additive that they're adding to get that taste, because neither Wendy's nor McDonald's have that same weird taste?

McDonalds uses a clamshell-like mechanism to cook their patties. Line them on the grill, smack the button, a few seconds later the clam rises, you sprinkle the salt/pepper/MSG mix, scoop them 3/4 at a time, drain the grease (if you're fancy), drop them on a plastic tray, then slot into an enclosed warming cabinet. It produced the least flavorful discs of meat ever conceived of by man.

burger king's gimmick is that they use a flame broiler over an open grill to cook their patties instead of a flat grill/griddle

Remember when the Dixie Chicks said they were ashamed of George Bush and it became a massive controversial story for months and it ruined their careers? Nowadays some actor can go to the Oscars and call Trump a oval office and it's a one day story and the worst thing that happens is somebody tries to murder them with a pipe bomb and that is also just a one day story.

If I remember right this is because the Dixie Chicks are country artists so most of their fans are conservative people from the South and Midwest. Michael Moore said his "shame on you, President Bush" Oscar speech earlier and his career is unscathed because he's a liberal with liberal fans.

Of course now you have a country musician like Kacey Musgraves who encourages girls to kiss lots of boys or girls depending on what they're into and sings about getting Santa high on ganja cookies.

Then again, Willie Nelson who sang that with her is an open liberal since the 1980s.

Like all gimmicks, the actual fact is they use a vertical conveyor cooker, where patties are placed in a slide at the top and are conveyed back and forth on inclined 'belts' of linked wire, being grilled from a heat source at the bottom and turned every time they drop from one conveyor to the next. After this process, they are also tucked into warming trays until someone orders a burger.

The liquid smoke taste you are tasting probably is liquid smoke added during the meat blending process.

I worked as a porter for BK uh several years ago at an OLD building location. I had to be sure and turn on the oven when I got there at 5 AM. so itd be up to temp by the time they'd start selling burgers at 10.
And yes, you'd have a chain link belts that went through an oven. In one side, out the other.

There were no grills at all.

No man ever did me so much good, or enemy so much harm, but I repaid him with ENDLESS SHITPOSTING
i work at a large cattle ranch (i wont say which) that supplies wholesale produce to burger king, among other fast food chains, and whats really interesting is that in the past few years theyve managed to breed cows that contain pre-seasoned, pre-cooked meat patties directly within their bodies. you just lead them to the tarp and tap them on the head and all the cooked meat falls out. the major issue now is getting them to the customer before they cool down

i know theyve been experimenting with GM wheat that would produce whole burger buns but so far its not cost effective, the farms are spending an incredible amount of money trying to keep rednecks out and so its easier just to use normal grains and process later

almost 20 years into the war in Afghanistan the only question is are we going to just stay there forever accomplishing nothing or will we actually admit that we lost and leave, and now people think we should get involved with Venezuela. Yesterday on NPR they had an interview with some military guy about how the Taliban controls a big chunk of the country and that's not going to change, but we can't leave until the Kabul government is strong enough to be somewhat equal partners in a power-sharing arrangement with them. The Kabul government that we installed 18 loving years ago and have been propping up ever since. And then like ten minutes later they did a story about how bad things are in Venezuela, oh boy that Maduro doesn't seem like he's going to leave of his own accord, what are we gonna do. It's loving infuriating. They think we're idiots.

Please drive thru sir.

I mean, country music, classically, could also be seen as fairly liberal in general. Country and folk are the music of the working class, the factory worker, farmer, rancher, miner. Songs about the crushing weight of capitalism abound in both genres.

More modern country, though...

It's more that the political ideas of liberalism abandoned those people (and have recently had to be dragged kicking and screaming back to them) rather than vice versa.

Mildly disappointed he didn't do this to the tune of "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" because that's how I sang that title in my head.
