So, I stopped at BK and got a Whopper with onion rings and a drink. The
whopper was freshly assembled, the bun coming down the chute from a
toaster separate from the burner broiler. The onion rings were the
chopped and formed variety, but still fairly tasty, and the burger
itself was tasty as always, with crisp lettuce and a nice ripe tomato.
This was well outside peak hours of course, and I'd say that BK is still
quite decent.
