Dunkin Burrito Bowls

Earlier this year, Dunkin’ offered two breakfast bowls. And now there are two new breakfast bowls that aren’t being called breakfast bowls. Instead, they’re Burrito Bowls.

Dunkin’s Burrito Bowls come in two varieties — Chorizo and Fire Roasted Veggie.

The Chorizo one features eggs, chorizo, cheese, onions, poblano peppers, red quinoa, brown rice, and a smoky tomato sauce. It has 350 calories, 22 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 260 milligrams of cholesterol, 850 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar, and 19 grams of protein.

The Fire Roasted Veggie comes with eggs, cauliflower, cheese, onions, bell peppers, corn, black beans, rice, and chipotle sauce. It has 250 calories, 14 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 200 milligrams of cholesterol, 650 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 15 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried either one, let us know what you think in the comments.

REVIEW: Burger King Maple Waffle Sandwich

/ / Reviews

Burger King Maple Waffle Sandwich

What is the Burger King Maple Waffle Sandwich?

Burger King’s latest answer to the McGriddle – a breakfast sandwich with maple laced waffle cakes as buns.

How is it?

It’s almost there. I wanted this to be great, but it’s ultimately just good. Good is good, though, right? Good.

Here’s the thing about fast food breakfast – the bread element is the most crucial part. I’m sure you’re familiar with BK’s eggs and meat. I’ve always liked BK’s fluffy folded egg, and its sausage patties are fine if not indistinguishable from anyone else’s. They do their part.

The waffles are the big-ticket item here, but I think that might turn some people off of this sandwich.

I liked them, but they’re not without its flaws.

The waffles were a little too fried for my tastes, giving them an almost “funnel cakey” texture. I love that, but not sure I want it on a breakfast sandwich.

There are little maple spots speckled on the waffles, but they weren’t sweet enough. Again, it was alllllmost there. Getting subtle hints of sweetness was nice, but I was hoping for more.

Is there anything else you need to know?

I got the savory sausage because it’s the best option. Let’s be real. The thing is, Burger King probably should’ve gone with a maple sausage patty. This could have benefitted from more maple, and that would’ve been a good place to inject it.

Oh, and skip the cheese. It could just be me, but these savory/sweet breakfast sandwiches absolutely do not need a slice of cheese. In fact, I’d argue it knocks the sandwich down a peg as a whole.

Conclusion:

It ain’t great for ya, but you probably won’t be mad you ate this. It’s about 75% as good as a McGriddle. With a little tinkering, it could be a real star in the fast food breakfast world.
