\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

To some of you, what\u2019s in the photo above looks disgusting, as if someone regurgitated a burger. I can see that. There\u2019s no doubt it\u2019s the burger equivalent of a disheveled drunk laying on the sidewalk after a long night of debauchery.<\/p>\n

The melted American cheese is like the pools of one own\u2019s filth a passed out drunk would lie in. The golden onion rings peeking out from under the long hoagie sesame seed bun are like the accidentally exposed nipple or genitals. The BBQ sauce is the dried blood on the disheveled drunk, who will not know how it got there, why there\u2019s so much of it, and whose blood it is.<\/p>\n

The previous paragraph probably made your opinion of the Burger King Extra Long BBQ Cheeseburger even lower, but, to me, what\u2019s in the photo is extremely sexy and I\u2019m getting wet staring at it. Because I\u2019m drooling and I have slightly overactive saliva glands. Ask my pillow and anyone I\u2019ve yelled at.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

The melted cheese makes the sandwich appear as if it has a built-in fondue machine. The golden brown onion rings scream crispy. The dark BBQ sauce is like black lingerie, hidden underneath the bun. There isn’t a lot of it, but there’s enough of it to tantalize me. Then there’s the two round beef patties topped with all the other ingredients.<\/p>\n

Everything brings back memories of throwing loose change on the counter to pay for the inexpensive, tasty, but now discontinued Rodeo Cheeseburger. Yes, if you\u2019re familiar with Burger King menus of yore, you\u2019d know this is a stretched-out Rodeo Cheeseburger. <\/p>\n

Obviously, with pretty much the same ingredients as a Rodeo Cheeseburger, the Extra Long BBQ Cheeseburger tastes as wonderful as the beloved little burger. The onion rings have a slight crunch and just enough onion flavor to cut through the BBQ sauce, which has a wonderful sweet and spicy flavor and is, in my opinion, the best tasting BBQ sauce among the big burger chains. The combination of beef patties, cheese, onion rings, and BBQ sauce hit my taste buds with so many different flavors — salty, sweet, spicy, oniony, and greasy. It’s definitely a better tasting use for Burger King’s hoagie bun than their Original Chicken Sandwich.<\/p>\n

While the Extra Long BBQ Cheeseburger is tasty, its price is an issue. Like with stretched-out limos, there’s a premium for this stretched-out Rodeo Cheeseburger. My fellow future Lipitor taker, Ryan over at Grub Grade, noted in his review<\/a> that one can get two Rodeo Burgers, plus pay extra for cheese, for a total that’s significantly cheaper than this limited time only burger. However, if you’re super hungry or have friends, Burger King recently added the sandwich to their 2 for $5 deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let’s be honest, Burger King’s “new” Extra Long BBQ Cheeseburger isn’t new. The combination of ingredients is old. Heck, the “Extra Long” name is old (it’s been used by Burger King in other countries) and using BK’s hoagie bun for a cheeseburger in the U.S. is also old (see BK’s Bullseye BBQ Burger<\/a>). But my taste buds sure do like reminiscing with it. <\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Burger King Extra Long BBQ Cheeseburger
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $6.79 (value meal)
\nSize:<\/b> N\/A
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Burger King
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Tastes like my beloved Burger King Rodeo Cheeseburger. It looks sexy (to me). Onion rings have a nice crunch and have enough flavor to cut through BBQ sauce. So many flavors coming together. Burger King’s BBQ sauce, which, I think, is the best of the big burger chains. Available with Burger King’s 2 for $5 deal.
\nCons:<\/b> Not really a “new” product. Pricey if you purchased one, would be cheaper to buy two Rodeo Burgers with cheese. Could’ve used a bit more BBQ sauce. To some it might look like a disheveled drunk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
