Burger King has been testing the $1 Double Cheeseburger in various markets for the past 18 months, and as of today, unveiled it nationally. After fighting tooth and nail against it, franchise owners seem to have relented, and BK is talking tough about the superiority of their Double Cheeseburger:
“With more beef and cheese, the $1 [...]

Butter Burgers

Greetings So Good readers. Eick here, with a post for the first time in a month. Yikes. The craziness of real life has gotten the better of me in the last month, and the result has been devastating for So Good, I admit. But I’m back and excited to be spouting off my thoughts on [...]

by Eick · July 27th, 2009 · 7 Comments
Continuing the new 2009 tradition of Presidents visiting popular local burger joints, this past weekend fmr. President Bill Clinton paid a visit to Z Burger (see my review HERE). The irony? He was in town to speak at a conference on obesity prevention and control.
So what did Bill Clinton order? A double hamburger with all [...]

Stop Putting Bacon on Your Burger!
by Eick · July 16th, 2009 · 14 Comments
Anyone who has read a food blog in past 2 years knows that bacon is beloved by many foodies. Whether it’s creating bacon vodka or electing bacon the top meat in the land in So Good’s Meat Madness, bacon is HOT. Anyone who dares criticize bacon on their blog will likely be hit with a [...]
Z Burger: Squint and You’ll Think We’re Five Guys
by Eick · June 11th, 2009 · 12 Comments
A month or two ago I had the opportunity to try Z Burger, an up and coming burger chain in the DC metro area. The worst part about Z Burger is the fact that it is essentially a blatant copycat of Five Guys. However, this is also the best part about it. Instead of falling short, they [...]

Now you may be thinking to yourself, “I like things that are extreme”, “I like eating” or maybe even “I like awards.” That seems to be part of the [...]

Bacon Lube
by Eick · May 13th, 2009 · 45 Comments
I know, I know, more bacon products. I’m as sick of them as you are. Good lord though, how could I not mention this? I don’t have any snarky comments about people “porking” or your next session in the sack being “sizzling.” I think the absurdity of this product speaks for itself. Insert your own [...]

Obama, Biden, Eat at Ray’s Hell Burger
by Eick · May 6th, 2009 · 12 Comments
Update: Some moronic right-wing media pundits are trying to attack/make fun of Obama for ordering his burger with spicy mustard.
Politico reports that yesterday afternoon, President Obama and Vice-President Biden stopped into Ray’s Hell Burger, a burger joint just up the street from my office. For those of you outside DC or unfamiliar with this place, [...]
The BK King Likes Square Butts….
by Eick · April 8th, 2009 · 29 Comments
The BK King, rapping, dancing, and getting DOWN to the lyrics, “I like square butts and I cannot lie.” Part of the new marketing campaign for Burger King kids meals with a Spongebob Square Pants toy. What do you think of the ad?
Seems like a pretty adult oriented ad for a commercial that is promoting [...]

I will spare you the details of my trip, but will share one of the more curious photos taken along the way.
See above for a burger joint in Auckland, romantically [...]

by Eick · March 27th, 2009 · 35 Comments
So Good previously wrote about plans for a new Western Bacon Thickburger Hardee’s ad starring Top Chef host Padma Lakshimi. Well that ad has now been released, and it does not disappoint. This ad is HOT. AdRants says the commercial “redefines food porn.” Watch Padma seductively eat a burger, even using her finger to grab [...]

Are BK Burger Shots Inappropriately Named?
by Eick · February 18th, 2009 · 26 Comments
One of Burger King’s newest creations, BK Burger Shots, are being heavily advertised recently.
So? Who cares right? Well interesting discovery: according to Urban Dictionary, the term “Burger Shot” has two meanings:
You’re probably thinking to yourself “c’mon, no way that Burger King would knowingly name their product after a slang term like that!” and you’re probably [...]

Burger Bed Hard To Resist
by JT · January 26th, 2009 · 11 Comments
This is one of the most wonderful things I have seen in a while. Considering this nation’s obsession with food and sleeping, I can’t believe the idea of a Hamburger Bed has not come around before.
That said, it does spark some questions – like wouldn’t the top bun and cheese make sleeping in the burger like [...]

Facebook Disables Whopper Sacrifice
by Eick · January 14th, 2009 · 34 Comments
Facebook has decided to disable the Whopper Sacrifice application. It’s interesting that they would shut down an application that has proved so popular, but perhaps for Facebook, an application that reduces your friend list is bad for business? I can’t think of any other reason they would do so. Over the time that the Whopper Sacrifice campaign was live, [...]

People are Really Getting into Whopper Sacrifice
by Eick · January 9th, 2009 · 8 Comments
They’re even fishing for new friends on Craigslist that they can de-friend in order to get a free Whopper.
Hello! I’m a 24 SWF and I’m looking to add some friends on facebook.
Here are the criteria:
1) You must have a facebook account.
2) You must be my friend without ever meeting me. I think it’s kinda weird [...]
Whopper Sacrifice: Ditch 10 Friends, Get a Free Whopper
by Eick · January 7th, 2009 · 135 Comments
As I noted in my post below, Burger King has just unveiled their new Angry Whopper. As many companies are now doing, they’ve tapped into Facebook and created an application to help promote it. But this Facebook application is a bit….different. Instead of encouraging you to join a group, find new friends, or spread the [...]

Back in May, I noted that Burger King had begun selling the Angry Whopper in Europe and questioned when we in America would get access to this delicious sounding burger. The answer: it has arrived.
As of January 5, 2009, you can now buy the Angry Whopper at Burger King until March 30. So what is [...]
