FFFAST Friday 3/15/19: Burger King's Quarter Pounder

We haven't had any fast food reviews since Wendy's back in 2016. We had chosen not to do fast food and focus more on "unique" locations. Every so often, we will visit the fast burger genre. On occasional Fridays, RateABurger will present a new burger.

Note: Fast food is it's own genre, so comparing Burger King with a Jack B's is not a fair comparison. Fast food burgers will be rated in comparison to other fast food burgers. With that said, this brings us to the Fast Food Friendly Scale.

Green: RateABurger approves.
Yellow: Proceed with caution.
Red: Save your money and taste buds.

Burger King's attempt at the quarter pounder was good. It is above the standard of a normal burger, but it is generic with it's toppings.Keep in mind, with Burger King patties, the charcoal grill taste can have a residual taste for a couple of hours after eating.

2/27/19: Mancy's Executive Burger

Mancy's in Findlay is just a baby in comparison to the Toledo counterpart in terms of tenure. Findlay's version opened inside the Hancock Hotel this time last year. Kristina and I decided it was time to try out their sole burger on their menu....the Executive Burger.

The Executive Burger is found on their Bar Bites menu, and it comes with the standard toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles) with your choice of Cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheese, in which I chose Cheddar for this review.

The toppings were fresh. The tomato was a proper cut and one big slice. The lettuce was crisp and not withered. The pickles and onion pieces were uniform and quality as well. 

The Patty was the star of the show. This half pound Angus beef was juicy while it was presented well done. It had a stand alone flavor that would carry itself without help.

The bun was presented as a bakery fresh roll, and it didn't disappoint. The butter from the roll felt like it melted to the Patty for a much richer flavor. The bun itself was fresh and fluffy.

The burger is basic, but that did not go against them here as toppings really aren't needed here, which is the best compliment I can offer a burger. 

Toppings: 8

Patty: 10

Bun: 9

OVERALL: 9
