There’s a new burger on the Burger King menu and it’s called the A.1. Hearty Mozzarella Cheeseburger. This burger features two ¼ lb. flame-grilled beef patties, topped with bacon, Mozzarella cheese, lettuce, onions, and A.1. Thick & Hearty sauce, on a toasted, brioche-style bun. My local BK in Maryland is offering the A.1. Hearty Mozzarella Cheeseburger for $6.39 for the burger alone or $8.69 for the fries/drink combo.

I LOVE A1, but the thick and hearty version is gross IMO.

 

[Tansut]

I legitimately expected a burger with cheese sticks.

 

[Aeonin]

Looks delicious, but damn about that sodium.

 

[DietRob]

Eh, this fast food stuff doesn't excite me like it used to.

 

[JMDSO]

The Whataburger version is better, and not microwaved.

You're referring to the Whataburger A1 Thick and Hearty? I love that sandwich.

That would be more of a Jack In The Box or Carl's Jr thing to do.

 

[mackattk]

Hard to pull away from the coupon on the back of the receipt. Getting a whopper, small fries and small drink for like $3 is hard to pass.

 

[MGrant]

Whataburger did it first.

I've never had Whataburger, but they sound awesome.

No, I'm referring to this variant of A1:

The thickeners in it ruin the tamarind/vinegar flavor of the original. It tastes more like bbq sauce to me than A1.

 

[Downhome]

I saw a sign for this at my local BK the other day. They also have an extra long BBQ pulled pork that looked WONDERFUL. I must try them both.

Here is the BBQ...

The mention of A1 in the thread title made my mouth water a little.

I love A1 a little too much.

I love A1 a little too much.

I used to drink a tbsp of A1 mixed with soda water for a little zingy pick me up. Nectar of the Gods I say.

I will not have fries with that.

Before it got so expensive I used to use it as a dipping sauce.

 

[Radec]

 

[deejay8595]

Now that looks good!

 

[johnny_park]

I'd probably get it without the A1

 

[Faenix1]

Wish these A1 burgers weren't so darn expensive. Get more on a burger elsewhere for about $2 less. For what little A1 gets put on I can't see the reason they are so much.

a gas station beat them.

 

[RangersFan]

It's BK...

It is gonna be terrible.

 

[Fuzzery]

First hot dogs, now mozarella sticks? What's next?

Ok, I love A1 but ... what is this ?
I'm not passing judgement, I'm genuinely curious.
Is it like a ginger/cayenne pepper shot from Robeks ?

Uh, sort of. It's just something I'd do when I got bored at work when I worked at a restaurant. It definitely activates the senses.

 

[triplestation]

mozzarella with beef is kinda weird

 

[John Kowalski]

I'll wait for the Report Of The Week review.

Haha, I'm definitely giving this a try. Thanks.

 

[RP912]

yep...I will eat this!

Yeah but I've tried standard A1 on a burger and it made the bun soggy and the sauce would just drip off the burger. That's why they added viscocity and created the thicker version particularly for burgers, and Whataburger's Thick and Hearty is amazing

I'll have to give it another shot, I hadn't considered the bun sogginess factor.

 

[knkng]

An awesome looking burger ruined by A1 sauce. BBQ all the way!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

By hearty they mean heart attacky right?

 

[Mashing]

I LOVE A1, but the thick and hearty version is gross IMO.

Only when they put too much A1. A1 is overpowering as shit, so you have to put it on in moderation.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Wtf this is the most unexpected, yet intriguing post I've seen all day. I am an A1 fiend as well. Next time I'm vehemently bored I'll try this.

 

[Squalor]

So what does the burger actually look like?

Because that sure as hell isn't it.

 

[Lego Boss]

I will not have fries with that.

No, just open that brioche and stack em in that sandwich brutha.

 

[Lego Boss]

Civilisation at its zenith.

 

[Van Owen]

Does anyone else find A1 completely disgusting? I would never put it on a steak, or anything else for that matter.

Yes. A1 is pretty gross. So many other good sauces are available.

[radioactivez0r]

I wish it was someone other than Burger King; I stopped eating there as I just don't like the way the burgers taste.

 

[Redd]

Too expensive. If I'm spending that kind of cash on a burger I might as well eat at five guys.

 

[Lights and Waves]

I legitimately expected a burger with cheese sticks.

Same

 

[Ivan 3414]

The sodium is real.

That actually sounds amazing. I want one.

i was expecting cheese-stuffed buns or something crazy like that

Long Pork? Burger King has gone too far.
