Burger King UK is fighting the January blues with a major menu shake-up, introducing the Gourmet Kings Ultimate Philly Cheese burgers – and I tasted it, this is what I thought
To help fight the January blues, Burger King has unveiled a major menu refresh, including the Gourmet Kings Ultimate Philly Cheese range and Garlic & Jalapeño Chicken Fries, as well as it’s biggest ever prize giveaway. So naturally, I had to try it.
Burger King UK has just launched a major menu refresh with what they’ve promised to be the “biggest ever prize giveaway to help January blues”. As someone who loves a good burger, fries, and don’t even get me started on jalapeño, I wanted to give it a try.
I consequently indulged in a mouthwatering menu shake up, including the fast food’s new Gourmet Kings Ultimate Philly Cheese Angus.
The new menu also has another option; the Ultimate Philly Cheese Crispy Chicken. The new items are available on a buy one, get one free (BOGOF) deal from January 26th – 28th. The flavour of the angus burger I tried were appetising and feeling, without leaving me feeling to heavy.
I do prefer my food hot and spicy, so the flavours didn’t significantly impres me, however, I did quite enjoy the cheese and the bacon pairing. The bun was imressive, it had a great texture and it was aesthetically pleasing.
The selection is joined by a new range of indulgent sides, including the spicy Garlic & Jalapeño Chicken Fries and the delicious Gravy Loaded Fries. I absolutely adore anything with melted cheese, so paired with a little spice, in this case jalapeño made it quite enjoyable for me.
In fact, I would rate the cheesy jalapeño item as the best one out of the meal. Burger King also launched “Slurp-Prize”, with whopping cash prizes, holidays, tech bundles and BK treats up for grabs.
The fast food chain has described the new menu “it’s cheesiest to date”. Again, I agree that the cheese included in the items I tasted were particularly yummy.
Each available burgers are layered with melted American cheese, fresh rocket, smoked bacon, caramelised and crispy onions. Finished with silky cheese sauce and rich BBQ gravy, all served in a soft, golden brioche bun.
Burger King UK’s BOGOF offer on the entire Ultimate Philly Cheese collection is running via the BK® App. This comes in addition to the launch of the all-new Slurp-Prize giveaway – a brand-new in-app game giving customers the chance to win massive prizes to set the year straight from the start.
