\"Burger<\/p>\n

What is the Burger King Big King XL?<\/h3>\n

Well, as the name implies, the newfangled BIG King XL from Burger King is pretty much a jumbo-sized variation of its <\/a>Big King burger \u2014 which, itself, is basically Burger King\u2019s rebuttal to the Big Mac. <\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, we\u2019re talking more than 1\/2 lb. of flame-grilled 100 percent beef, a double serving of gooey American cheese, a smattering of sliced onions, a crown of lettuce, a deluge of pickles, and a heaping helping of the proprietary Stacker sauce underneath the topmost sesame seed bun.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

In a word? Heavy. Literally, metaphorically, figuratively and phonetically. I\u2019m not quite sure how much the sandwich weighs, but this thing has to be at least a solid pound with all the accoutrements included. Indeed, it\u2019s so big that it might prove a challenge to eaters with smaller mouths, so keep that in mind before you shell out the moolah for this one.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/p>\n

As for the overall taste and texture, it\u2019s pretty much exactly what\u2019s advertised \u2014 a humongous, sumo-wrestler-sized version of the tried and true Big Mac imitator, which is definitely more than enough to fill up just about anybody who doesn\u2019t have the metabolism of a hummingbird.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

I thoroughly enjoyed the Big King XL, even though as a limited-time-only offering it\u2019s rather staid. Personally, I would\u2019ve enjoyed having some bacon in there, or it would\u2019ve been cool to see the King give the plus-sized burger a more unique hook \u2014 perhaps one of the more esoteric toppings, like jalapeno rings or mushrooms, or even an all-new sauce. But as is it\u2019s still a perfectly fine, flavorful and filling hamburger that ought to satiate anybody with a craving for high-calorie mega-fast-food.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

You know exactly what you\u2019re getting into with the Big King XL, and that\u2019s mostly a good thing. There\u2019s no denying it\u2019s a tasty burger, and if you\u2019re on the prowl for a fast food offering that will stick to your ribs, look no further.<\/p>\n
