Burger King brings back Big King burger

Fast-food empire Burger King said in the beginning of November that it is bringing back its sandwich with two grilled all-beef savory patties, the Big King burger.

The Big King has two all-beef patties, lettuce, onions and signature King Sauce, all in a three-layer sesame seed bun.

The sandwich is part of Burger King’s new menu and will be available mid -November throughout the US for $3.69 , the company said in a press release.

The Big King was previously featured on Burger King’s menu but as a limited-time item only. Now, the company has introduced it to stay and  has added a middle bun to it.

The Big King is a direct rival with McDonald’s Big Mac. Both sandwiches have two all-beef patties, cheese, veggies and signature sauces all served in a soft three-piece sesame bun.

Big King is 190grams and has 510 callories while Mc Big  is 260 grams and has 550 calories, data from the web sites of the two fast-food chains showed.

In October, Burger King introduced another item to its menu – the SatisFries, low-calorie French fries made with thinly battered potatoes.

Burger King, which was founded in 1954, has presence in 91 countries worldwide according to the company’s report for the third quarter of 2013 ending September 30. The company has over 13,000 restaurants, 99% of which are franchise-operated.
