You know how Burger King is always closed and you have to go to Taco Bell? And you don’t even like Taco Bell? No more. Burger King has announced that it will be staying open until 2 am.
“Further extending our late-night hours allows us to meet strong consumer demand and deliver on the ‘Have It Your Way’ brand promise,” said Russ Klein, president-global strategy, marketing and innovation at Burger King, Miami, in a statement.
To promote the new closing time, the fast-food chain will launch a TV spot, directed by Spike Lee. It will feature entertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has been recruited as the brand’s “Late Night Ambassador.”
Combs seems to be taking his new “job” seriously:
“Everyone knows I own the night,” said Combs, in a statement. “As ‘Late Night Ambassador,’ it’s my goal to get everyone involved, whether they’re leaving a club, concert or studio session. BK is the only place that does late-night right.”
Does this mean BK is going to start serving raccoon dog meat now?

@Rippleeffect:
YES Thousand Island. Love it with French Fries. On Burgers…. yum.
Also do Honey Mustard.
Skip the red stuff they call catsup.
Oh goody, our BK can stay vacant another 2 hours every day.
@savvy9999: Mmmmm… filthmeal.
Whatever you do, don’t ask for mayo on your late-night burger when you go here.
I don’t care about the extended hours, I want my six pack burger that those lucky bastards in london get to gorge on.
Every BK in my city is open 24 hours aleady.
BTW- remember that BK recently had to give in and give the folks that pick the tomatoes that you will have on your Whopper a raise for the amount that they pick.So the purchase of a Whopper now SUPPORTS these hard working folks. If that purchase is at 2:30 in the morning, God bless ‘em. It was really good to see the little guy get something besides a swift kick in the ass from a large company like BK.
God, the BK off of College st in Bloomington was open til 3 or 4 am. The (more than) few times we went there post midnight, only the drive-thru was open – and every single time – the wait was at least 30 minutes. I hope BK has a better system now than when they were feeding the IU crowd. And yes, most times we’d just stay “f it” and go over to Taco Hell right down the street.
Good news! Now you have more time to trash your body and gain extra weight
We have quite a few 24-hour McDonalds and Burger Kings here in Denver.
I live about 10-15mins walk from what was the first McDonalds in the UK to go 24hrs – can’t say I really use it. Having seen the number of drunk people going directly from the clubs to the fast food, I’m surprised Burger King haven’t tapped into this already.
The next trick they came up with around here was an “express kiosk” or “walk-thru” to avoid said drunk people actually going inside.
