In its latest effort to take the burger experience to a higher level — and win back consumers who've migrated to "fast casual" restaurants — Burger King is remodeling more of its eateries to include what His Highness describes as a "contemporary industrial palette of metallic and black accents, complemented by finishes that resemble brick and concrete."

The really awesomely titled Pork Magazine says that Burger King will begin offering pork ribs at 300 locations in Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Greensboro, N.C., and Orlando, Fla.

If we worked in fast food, we'd want to work at this Burger King, because you don't have to provide good service to score a perfect survey. You just have to give away food! Now take your free Whopper and get the hell out of here!  More »

A little over two years ago, a Virginia man ordered a a drink and two sandwiches from Burger King. He then proceeded to take a bite and swallow— before he realized that his "specific request for the omission of onions, pickles and tomatoes had not been complied with." The result? A lawsuit for $100,000 filed in the Virginia Beach Circuit Court.  More »
