Burger King Corporation (BK, stylized in all caps) is an American
multinational chain of hamburger fast food restaurants. Headquartered
in Miami-Dade County, Florida, the company was founded in 1953
as Insta-Burger King, a Jacksonville, Florida–based restaurant chain. After
Insta-Burger King ran into financial difficulties, its two Miami-based
franchisees David Edgerton (1927–2018) and James McLamore (1926–
1996) purchased the company in 1959 and renamed it "Burger King".
[5] Over the next half-century, the company changed hands four times
and its third set of owners, a partnership between TPG Capital, Bain
Capital, and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, took it public in 2002. In ORIGINAL PRODUCT
late 2010, 3G Capital of Brazil acquired a majority stake in the company
in a deal valued at US$3.26 billion. The new owners promptly initiated a OF BURGER KING
restructuring of the company to reverse its fortunes. 3G, along with its
partner Berkshire Hathaway, eventually merged the company with the
Canadian-based doughnut chain Tim Hortons under the auspices of a new
Canadian-based parent company named Restaurant Brands International.
whopper
The Whopper is the signature hamburger and an associated product
line sold by the international fast food restaurant chain Burger King
and its Australian franchise Hungry Jack's. Introduced in 1957, the
hamburger has undergone several reformulations, including
changes to portion size and bread used. The hamburger is well
known in the fast food industry, with Burger King advertising itself
as "the Home of the Whopper" and naming its kiosk stores the BK
Whopper Bar. In response to the Whopper, Burger King's
competitors have developed similar products designed to compete
against it.
Big king
The Big King sandwich is one of the major hamburger products sold by
the international fast-food restaurant chain Burger King, and was part of
its menu for more than twenty years. As of March 2019, it is sold in the
United States under its 1997 Big King XL formulation. During its testing
phase in 1996–1997, it was originally called the Double Supreme and was
configured similarly to the McDonald's Big Mac—including a three-piece
roll. It was later reformulated as a more standard double burger during
the latter part of product testing in 1997. It was given its current name
when the product was formally introduced in September 1997, but
maintained the more conventional double cheeseburger format.
Chicken fingers
Chicken fingers (also known as chicken goujons, tendies,
chicken strips, chicken tenders, or chicken fillets) are chicken
meat prepared from the pectoralis minor muscles of the
animal.[1][2] These strips of white meat are located on either
side of the breastbone, under the breast meat (pectoralis
major).[3] They may also be made with similarly shaped pieces
cut from chicken meat, usually the breast, or sometimes just
pulverized chicken flesh.[4]
