Today I tried the new Burger King BBQ ribs...

[Hector]

My verdict?

Save your money...it's a scam, folks...





It costs $7.99 (almost $10 with tax) for a BBQ meal...you get six tiny ribs that are about two inches long, small fries, and a small drink....you get BBQ sauce on the side (little pack).

The entire bag weighs about an ounce...you won't even remotely get satisfied, much less full...and we are talking close to ten bucks here, guys.

I could get a pound of ribs from a real authentic BBQ place for the same price!

On the taste...they are actually not horrible, they are not charcoal or firewood cooked of course...they are flame broiled...but they are not awful tasting (but not even remotely close to the authentic stuff either though)...it is real pork ribs with bone and everything...but they are almost meatless...you'll get much more substance from a Chicken McNugget, I kid you not.

But six two inch pieces for almost ten buck for a meal order?

What Burger King does it take on a regular normal actual rib...and divide it into a dozen pieces...and one piece makes a Burger King BBQ rib...so in reality...you are paying $7.99 for a smallish real sized rib...unbelievable.

This product won't last unless they drop the price considerably...I wouldn't pay more than a dollar for six of their ribs...as a matter of fact...they should be a Dollar Menu Meal offering...one buck for six miniature measly mini ribs.

Next time...I'm slapping myself...and go directly to Flint's BBQ ribs in West Oakland.

I'm glad you posted this. I was gonna go get them but I was kinda weary about them. I wasn't sure.

lmao what a rip

[Hector]

Exactly.

Come on Hector, it was "Ribs at Burger King". It's almost an oxymoron. I remember when they tried to offer 2 tacos for a buck years back. From that very painful lesson I swore, nothing but Whoppers from the King

[vulcan2074]

Now you got me thinking about ribs, Ha Ha Ha.

That's the only thing i always order, the Whopper and sometimes the $7 chicken sandwich

From previous pics of your home cooking Hector,I am surprised you would consider eating at such places.

[Hector]

Not a super fan of Burger King...that flame broil taste of theirs reminds me of those free cafeteria burgers at junior high school...



Of the larger burger chains...I prefer In N Out, Nation's Giant Burgers, Carl's Junior, Jack N the Box...and to a lesser degree...Micky Dees (love them fries).

But the worst for me is Wendy's though...last time I had a burger there was like four or five years ago...

But I just can't cook everyday...it's exhausting...

I go to those places not just because I didn't cook that day...but because they are cheap.

Believe me...I much rather go to a sushi house and get me some yummy sashimi, toro, and unagi...but I can't do it often...it's expensive.

A good decent pizza is also expensive...and I'm not going to Dominos or Pizza Hut...and no way in hell I'd ever get one from Little Ceasar...I don't care if I'm starving to death...

I live in Oakland where one third of the population is Latino (mostly Mexican)...and there are some great cheap taco trucks all over the city...but you have to understand...after having millions of tacos during my lifetime...it gets rather boring sometimes...lol.

Eating cheap burgers brings out the American in me...

Sonics, baby!!! LOL!!! Thanks for the heads up, Hec. As a fast food enthusiast, I usually try everything that these places come up with, at least once. Look like I'll skip the BK ribs though. I'll give In N Out my 10 bucks and get TWO #1's! Or go to Sonics!!!

Growing up in a BBQing family, I would probably get laughed out of my family if I even entertained the notion of going to a BK for any BBQ related item.

Sonny's and Woody's are acceptable, as they are "American BBQ"... but when you cut ribs the way BK did... it's a slap in the face to South American BBQers

The proper way to have your ribs cut:




Cutting them across the bone, instead of with the bone produces a more tender experience. Most butchers will laugh when you ask for cow ribs (not pork ribs) in this cut... but you'll know better when you eat it

[Hector]

Beef ribs are awesome...not the norm here in the States...but very popular in Latin America...as Lady Zod would attest...
