Burger King has added a true chicken burger (not a chicken breast sandwich) to its menu for a limited time. The Flame Grilled Chicken Burger spotlights the brand’s open-flame grills. Toppings are tomato, lettuce, mayo, ketchup, pickles and sliced white onion on a soft, toasted brioche bun.

Suggested price is $3.79, but it will be on Burger King’s popular “2 for $5” menu, along with the double-patty Big King, Big Fish Sandwich and Extra Long Cheeseburger.

As for Wendy's, this was in testing earlier in the year at a number of locaitons, looks like more of a formal rollout.

Participating Wendy’s locations are now offering a meatless option with the introduction of the new Black Bean Burger.

The Black Bean Burger patty features a custom blend of black beans, corn, roasted peppers and spices and is topped with natural Pepper Jack cheese, ranch, tomato, and spring mix on a 7-grain bun.

BK definitely got the best of this particular two-part offering.

Even in the carefully constructed shot, that Wendy's burger looks like barf on a bun :X

 

[The Wall]

I legitimately wonder how the black bean one will taste. The good vegetarian burgers I've had always had a heavy bean-based patty.. mmmm :9

 

[Futureman]

can't believe all the major fast food places don't have a veggie burg.

 

[ChaosXVI]

Good on you Burger King.


Wendy's...just...just throw it in the trash. I'd rather eat at Arby's.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

Nice! I've been interested in trying the Wendy's Black Bean Burger; it has some of my favorite flavors and toppings in a burger. I hope I can get it in NJ.

This is very true.

 

[Misha]

I've had some really good black bean burgers. Sorta skeptical that it'll do well in fast food but I'll definitely try it

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

That nutrition profile for the Wendy's burger is atrocious.

 

[Hero Prinny]

can't believe all the major fast food places don't have a veggie burg.

Cause they're disgusting

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I always feel a little awkward ordering Burger King's veggie burger, but it's one of the best things on their menu, honestly.

 

[akira28]

That nutrition profile for the Wendy's burger is atrocious.

nutrition isn't the point, just managing to make something out of beans that looks like a burger.

 

[BattleMonkey]

That's just the chicken whopper. They stopped selling them around 2005. Only difference is the bun, it used to be normal sesame seed buns

 

[Frostinferno]

Black bean burgers are surprisingly good. And this is coming from someone who thinks veggie versions of foods are heresy.

 

[Steeped in a Sea of Games]

Never been a fan of bean burgers. It doesn't help that the patties look like someone's stool.

 

[outunderthestars]

I think it is the single worst veggie burger I have ever eaten.

 

[Crud]

No.

 

[theepicoftyler]

Black bean burgers are better than regular burgers.

 

[entremet]

It's slathered in mayo. They really lay it on thick.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

That nutrition profile for the Wendy's burger is atrocious.

it really is, I'm extremely curious how that's figuring.

 

[acheron_xl]

BK had me with that sandwich until they mentioned ketchup and pickles. Gross.

 

[pillowtalk]

Blackbean burgers are surprisingly good. Not sure how Wendy's will be though.

 

[Walter White Walker]

How you screw up a veggie burger that badly is quite the accomplishment.

 

[Guevara]

A good veggie burger really needs to have mushrooms in it.

 

[Davey Cakes]

It's not a veggie burger. It's a black bean burger. Similar in concept (as a burger alternative), different in execution.

I enjoy a good black bean burger, myself.

 

[Soybean]

The black bean burger's been getting good reviews and the patty itself is vegan (obviously vegans would omit the cheese).

[Jezbollah]

Daym Drops, do your thing.

 

[Rootbeer]

chicken burger... i will try you soon.

i'll probably skip the mayo though. fast food joints always overdo it with the mayo. they drown it in that shit. I can dig mayo but only in very controlled quantities. Anytime I order a Whooper I always go no mayo, the mustard on its own is good enough for me.

 

[JAV Actress]

But when's bison burgers? Sure they would be 8 dollars by themselves knowing fast food, but I'd pay.

 

[Nudull]

Shit, I might start going to Wendy's again. Black bean. <3

 

[blame space]

I bet the bean burger is good but whatever hate on it on the internet because it's not bacon.

 

[DJ_Lae]

A good veggie burger really needs to have mushrooms in it.

And cheese.

I still prefer regular burgers but I love Costco's garden burgers. They're basically just feta cheese, random veggies and mushrooms and rice, I think.

 

[Snkfanatic]

So is that like the old BK Broiler? Cause if so I WANT

 

[EightBitNate]

Two for one thread, XiaNaphryz? Can a mod please split it so we can have separate discussions??

 

[3phemeral]

If it's anything like the Black Bean Burger at Smash, I'm in.

Also, iirc, Burger King did a veggie black bean burger a long time ago - maybe a decade or so - and it was trash. So hoping for the best.

I eat way too many of those.

Have it your way?

BK still has veggie burgers now, IIRC. They're not bad.

Correct, they are Morningstar Farms burgers I think. They are ok, but not the best I've ever had.

 

[Dicer]

Exactly, remove those two and that sammich is OP... will be trying the 2 for $5

 

[Sulik2]

Good on you Burger King.


Wendy's...just...just throw it in the trash. I'd rather eat at Arby's.

Fight me. Arby's is delicious.

Chicken in the shape of a burger just sounds like you are asking for some weird pink slime loaded thing.

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

Good on you Burger King.

Why does everybody rag on Arby's? I think it's like upper tier.

 

[thefit]

Black bean burgers are good actually. They should offer a vegan alternative to the cheese though.

 

[D-Pad]

That promo shot for the bean burger looks far more appetizing than the "authentic" ones. Might try it, though I wonder how much it's going to cost. I can make a damn good one at home for real cheap.

 

[RedBoot]

That nutrition profile for the Wendy's burger is atrocious.

I suspect it's slightly better if you leave off the ranch. Should drop the sodium and fat a bit, at least.

 

[3phemeral]

I eat way too many of those.

Those little jalapenos are a lot spicier than I'd expect. I usually can handle them, too.

I'll check it out if I ever stop by one. I thought they trashed it a long time agobut then again, Burger King's aren't close to me so I haven't had the chance to notice.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Simpsons and John Stewart.

They're pretty good.

 

[HeySeuss]

Exactly. Black bean burgers are really good, and I say this as a carnivore.

 

[coy]

I'm a fan of black bean burgers so I'd give this a try, probably without the ranch. This reminds me that I gotta get a Frosty Tag for 2016.
