http://money.cnn.com/2012/03/19/news....htm?hpt=hp_t2Dave Thomas's restaurants became the No. 2-selling hamburger chain in the country last year, industry research firm Technomic said Monday, pushing Burger King back to the No. 3 spot. Burger King had been No. 2 spot since at least 1972, the earliest year for which Technomic has data.
Wendy's (WEN) U.S. sales totaled $8.5 billion last year, edging out Burger King and its $8.4 billion. Wendy's has roughly 5,900 locations in the U.S. compared with Burger King's 7,200.

Can't believe Burger King is still around. No one ever goes there around here. I don't even know where to find one.

Seriously? Their burgers have never been as famous as the burgers of the other chains, but they're still pretty damn good. Can't imagine Wendy's without burgersOriginally Posted by kebab69

I always wondered how burger kings stayed in business, everyone I know doesn't go to them, and I can't remember the last time I went there

Dollar menu burgers have gotten pretty small. But just so you know , Wendy's doesn't cut any corners when they make a burger. Trollolololololol

Taste wise
Wendy's > McDonalds > Burger King
IMO of course, and there are exceptions for some menu items. but i just love the old school taste of the chili, baked potatoes, fries, and burgers at good old wendys

BK must presumably do better on an international level. I've never seen a Wendy's in the UK or anywhere else in Europe. I can find a BK anywhere though.

I worked at wendys for a while for my first job ever, quality food, except maybe or the chicken burgers, coz they keep them the longest in a heating pad thing just because not many people get them, but they are kept for 7 minutes then thrown out though, so that as unfresh as it gets
everything else is thrown out after 5 mins after cooking, yes even the fries
value wise it beat mcdonalds although its more expensive, especially the burgers, lawl steamed mcdonalds burger patties, no thanks

When I have fast food once or twice a year, I prefer Burger King.
