I loves me some Burger King, especially now that they got turkey burgers.
But like all fast food places, you have to pay attention to whats going around in the place.
Do the employees look clean?
Are employees uniforms clean?
Are floors dirty, sticky, oily?
Is there a lot of food, packaging, dirty rags just sitting around on counters?
Is the food being prepared by people wearing clean pairs of plastic gloves?
How long was the meat cooked?
Was the cold items stored in a cold pan/box/fridge?
The three things that will go bad REAL FAST in fast food places:
Mayonnaise
Cheese
Meat not cooked properly
I would fill out a customer complaint form on the Burger King website.
At least corporate should be aware of possible contamination of food there.
I have worked in enough fast food places in my life, I can tell if ones clean or not just by walking through the front door.
I have never had a problem with any Burger King I have gone too, luckily. Well, not a cleanliness problem anyway.
My system cannot tolerate warm or hot mayo on anything. And besides, I think its gross on burgers.
If I get mayo on a burger, I will get cramps, get nautious, and feel like death warmed over.
I always order my burgers with mustard and ketchup, no lettuce, and tons of pickles.
You might think ketchup would go bad if kept warm, but there is vinegar in ketchup, and it keeps it from turning bad too quickly.
FYI - it is better to order your burger with NO condiments on it, and then get the little packets of condiments and put them on yourself.
When you take a bite of your burger, look at the meat. Is it still a bit pink? Is it warm or hot? It should be hot. Does it smell a little "off"? If yes to any of these, take it back and get a new one, tell them to make sure it is cooked all the way through, or at least until its hot.
Fast food burger meat is not like meat burgers you get at high end restaurants. You cannot eat a fast food burger warm or with any pink in it.
When eating out....STOP, LOOK, SMELL, TASTE the food before shoveling it down your throat.
You dont try on clothes before buying.
You dont buy a car before test driving.
So why eat fast food without testing it before you eat it?
