Adding in different ingredients to form a burger patty is not a new concept to me. However, I was surprised to hear that Burger King had introduced a burger "stuffed" with jalapenos and cheese. I thought it sounded like a pretty good combination, so naturally I decided to try one for myself. After unwrapping it and taking the first bite, I was a little disappointed. By the time I had finished the burger, I realized a couple things:
1. The burger was not as spicy as the advertising suggests. The poblano sauce didn't carry much heat, and I felt as though it didn't contribute much to the burger at all. The jalapenos fared a bit better when it came to spiciness, but the pieces were so small and scattered that they hardly made an impact.
2. The cheese was definitely a letdown. Essentially, what they did was take 1/4 of a slice of cheese and cut it up into tiny pieces to be scattered all over the patty. Supposedly the burger contained cheddar cheese, but it tasted more along the lines of American. I would have preferred better tasting cheese and a lot more of it.
On a more positive note, I did like the bun as well as the meat from the patty. It had that signature charbroiled taste and it was seasoned well. However, for a burger that was meant to prominently feature the jalapenos and cheese stuffed inside of it, I ended up feeling underwhelmed.
Phoood rating:
I had one that was dry and flavorless. They need an onion or pickle on it.
I did love the Angry Whopper when they had it.
Thanks, man. Always been curious, but I'll keep away from it.
