A new sandwich concept from Burger King in Thailand

[WillTravelForFood]

It has no meat, but 20 slices of cheese.

I love Burger King, but have been sick of the cheese craze for some time now amongst fast food chains.

[Murdy]

There's a cheese craze?

I'm so out of touch.

[bbqLuv]

+1 on out of touch.

[jfmorris]

Wow! That is like a full package or pound of American cheese slices per sandwich! Not gonna call this a burger. It's just a big hunk of melty cheese...

I like cheese as much or more than most, but that really is too much!

[Hulagn1971]

That would drop the consumption of toilet paper for a week, a side benefit.

[jfmorris]

Haha. I was thinking that too, but couldn't come up with a catchy name for the Constipation Whopper.

[texastweeter]

Pooper stopper whopper

[smokenoob]

Wow! You WillTravelForFood!

[JLR]

That is some kind of grilled cheese sandwich!

[DavidNorcross]

Man this has constipation written all over it.

[Clawbear57]

That's not a sandwich, that's a cheese wheel.

I mean, it is one thing to have a pound or whatever of cheese in a sandwich. But this strikes me as a particularly poor delivery mechanism.

Why not make it a triple layer of even four slices of bread (so six slices in total) to break up all of the cheese into small bites? And treat it like a grilled cheese and add some crispness to each layer? One layer could be garlic spread, another a pesto spread? And maybe the eater can pluck off a mini sandwich for ease of consumption?

Make a copycat version at home.

[jhapka]

bbqLuv y’know what fiber optic cameras are cheaper than ever and prime day is coming up so maybe I’ll do the whole shebang at home

[texastweeter]

I have a borescope

[bbqLuv]

That is not "Real" cheese, is it? It looks like processed cheese. Kraft American sliced processed cheese food.

What is worse is I want to try it but made with a brioche bun. I'll "Have it my way!" with a side of castor oil for bowel cleansing

[Mosca]

It is. It’s American cheese.

[realdocBBQ]

Nothx.

I made cheesesteaks on the griddle last night. I doubled up on the pepper jack on mine, and I thought it was too much. Cheese is good. But too much is too much.

[bbqLuv]

Not if you Thailand one on!
he he he he 🙄

[Mosca]

I’m one of those people who thinks one slice of cheese on a burger is exactly the right amount.

[Mosca]

It retails for a little over $3 in Thailand. And there is nothing else on the sandwich: no pickles, lettuce, sauce. Nothing. So, there is basically no prep work to add value.

You might as well buy a block of Velveeta and a bag of buns and make your own, and not in a “home-cooked vs restaurant” sense because the amount of work putting the cheese in the bun is actually less than unwrapping the purchased sandwich. The cheese isn’t even melted.

[jfmorris]

Actually, as shown in the photo, someone had to take the time to stack all 20 slices of cheese misaligned, so that its not a square sized slab of cheese... that would be somewhat time consuming.

Burger King Thailand is taking the "Have It Your Way" slogan to an extreme.

Now: it's a 100-patty burger. (seems like a one-time deal, not a regular menu item)
