I&#8217;m someone from PBS that you&#8217;ve never heard of and welcome to some dude&#8217;s living room for the first and only fast food debate between The King from Burger King and Marvo from the blog The Impulsive Buy.  Tonight&#8217;s discussion will cover one topic, the new Burger King Mushroom &#038; Swiss Steakhouse Burger.  Let&#8217;s begin.  This first questions goes to you, King.  What is the Burger King Mushroom &#038; Swiss Steakhouse Burger and why is it so important?<\/p>\n<p><b>The King:<\/b> (Pulls out mushroom in one hand and swiss cheese in the other hand, smashes them together, and then rubs stomach.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b> Your response, Marvo.<\/p>\n<p><b>Marvo:<\/b> I agree with The King that mushrooms and swiss cheese are a classic combination and I was excited to see it come with this new burger.  But it&#8217;s not just those two, it also contains crispy onions, A1 Steak Sauce on an Angus beef patty.  This burger is important because the Whopper teat is dry and there aren&#8217;t anymore new variations to come up with.  So Burger King needs a new burger to milk and the Steakhouse burgers are the tit they&#8217;re going to suck on.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  This next questions is for you, Marvo.  Do you support the use of the extra wide oval-shaped Angus beef patty in this burger, instead of the usual round patties, like in the Whopper?<\/p>\n<p><b>Marvo:<\/b>  That&#8217;s a great question, unnamed moderator from PBS.  I&#8217;m an American and I enjoy stuffing meat into my mouth.  I may have a little trouble sticking its whole girth in my mouth, but you know what they say, the bigger the meat, the better.  The Angus patty is pretty big and if you take off the top bun of this burger, it looks like an aircraft carrier of crispy onions and mushrooms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  Would you like to respond, King?<\/p>\n<p><b>The King:<\/b>  (Nods, points to Marvo, and then gives a thumbs up.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  The next question goes to you, King.  (The King is not at his podium)  Um&#8230;Where did he go?<\/p>\n<p>(The King sneaks up on the moderator, offering him a Burger King Mushroom &#038; Swiss Steakhouse Burger.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  No thanks.  Now if you would head back to your podium so that we can continue with this debate, you sneaky, freaky mo&#8217;fo.  Now back to the question.  Consumer groups have complained that some of Burger King&#8217;s menu items are extremely unhealthy, like the Triple Whopper, the Enormous Omelet Sandwich and the BK Quad Stacker, and it seems the Burger King Mushroom &#038; Swiss Steakhouse Burger can also be added to the list.  What are your thoughts about what these consumer groups have to say?<\/p>\n<p><b>The King:<\/b> (Gives a double middle finger salute, then the universal sign for jacking off, and then brushes off both shoulders.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Marvo:<\/b> Can I add something to what The King said?  <\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b> Go ahead.<\/p>\n<p><b>Marvo:<\/b> Thanks.  I&#8217;ve tried a number of Burger King&#8217;s worst items and I believe that my life might&#8217;ve been shortened a little because of it, but I believe that regulation is what needs to be in place.  It&#8217;s all right to eat these things once in awhile, but we have to regulate and moderate how often we eat a burger that has over 20 grams of saturated fat and 2,000 milligrams of sodium.  I do like eating fast food, but I know I can&#8217;t eat it all the time because I enjoy being able to look down and see my penis.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  This question is for you, King.  What do you think of the Burger King Mushroom &#038; Swiss Steakhouse Burger?<\/p>\n<p><b>The King:<\/b>  (Rubs stomach and then gives a double thumbs up.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  Do you have a response, Marvo?<\/p>\n<p><b>Marvo:<\/b>  I have to disagree with The King.  The Burger King Mushroom &#038; Swiss Steakhouse Burger looks really good on paper, but I was really disappointed with it.  There were a lot of those crispy onions on it, but I wished there was just as many mushroom on it as well, because every bite that I took with a mushroom, along with all the other ingredients, was really good.  Unfortunately, there wasn&#8217;t a lot of mushrooms on the burger.  I counted four small mushrooms on mine.  Thankfully, the A1 Steak Sauce saved it from being a really lame burger, but again, the mushrooms would&#8217;ve totally made this burger, if there was significantly more of them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  Would you like to respond, King?<\/p>\n<p><b>The King:<\/b> (Gives a double middle finger salute, then the universal sign for jacking off, and then brushes off both shoulders.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  Well then, now we will move on to your closing statements.  We will begin with you, Marvo.<\/p>\n<p><b>Marvo:<\/b> The Burger King Mushroom &#038; Swiss Steakhouse Burger could&#8217;ve been a great burger.  The patty was a nice size and the A1 Steak Sauce was nice, but the lack of mushrooms was a totally downer.  If you&#8217;re going to call it a mushroom &#038; swiss burger, it better have a shitload of mushrooms.  Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  Now your closing statements, King.<\/p>\n<p><b>The King:<\/b>  (Moons audience.  Tattoo of Wendy from Wendy&#8217;s shown on left butt cheek.  Then storms off stage.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Moderator:<\/b>  Well then, this concludes this debate.  I&#8217;d like to thank The King and Marvo for participating.  Good night.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Burger King Mushroom &#038; Swiss Steakhouse Burger<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $3.50<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  Wide<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Burger King<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Big wide burger.  Had the potential to be a really good burger.  A1 Steak Sauce is a good condiment to add.  Being able to see my penis.<br \/>\n<b>Cons:<\/b>  Lack of mushrooms.  Lack of any tomatoes or lettuce.  Crispy onions added a crunchy texture, but not much to its taste.  Don&#8217;t currently have nutrition info, but it&#8217;s probably bad for you.  The King&#8217;s ability to sneak up on people.  The King not being able to speak.  The dry Whopper teat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moderator: Good evening.
