McDonald's Vs Burger King - Which is the Better Hamburger?

When it comes to fast food, McDonald's and Burger King are among the biggest players in the game. Both of these fast food giants have been in business for over 50 years. The former generated 21.6 billion dollars in revenue last year while the latter only pulled in about 2.06 billion. Based on these numbers, some might be tempted to think that Mickey Dee's is clearly winning here but it does not necessarily mean that they make a better hamburger. Let's take a closer look.

We will start with McDonald's in our hamburger showdown. A typical burger from Mickey Dee's weighs about 100g, has 9g of fat, 520g of salt and 31g of carbohydrates. It is made of 100% beef (or so they claim). In terms of preparation, they fry their burger over a flat grill for that indoor home cooking taste. It comes with ketchup, mustard, pickle and onion and can be customized to fit your taste.

In comparison, a Burger King hamburger is slightly heavier at 121g, contains 12g of total fat, 560g of salt, and 30g of carbohydrates. They also claim to use 100% beef in their kitchens. Burger King flame-broils theirs, giving it a taste of outdoor barbecue grilling that is very reminiscent of the summer. BK's burgers come fully dressed with ketchup, mustard and pickle, but their slogan is: "Have it your way!" so you can take off any of the condiments and reconfigure the sandwich to your heart's content. It cost slightly more than a McDonald's hamburger.

Taking the size into consideration, the salt content and cost are about the same on both burgers. In terms of nutritional value, there is very little difference between the two fast food giants as well.

So Who Make The Better Burger McDonald's or Burger King?

Based on our research so far, there appears to be very little difference between the two. They are almost comparable. Burger King comes out slightly ahead if you compare size (which is larger than the McDonald's hamburger) or if you are very health-conscious and are concerned with the nutritional value of the sandwich (Burger King's hamburger has one less gram of carbohydrates in it).

Other than this, they appear to be comparable for the most part. The differences outside of how the sandwiches are prepared are very small. So, the answer to the question: "Who has the better hamburger?" comes down to personal taste. Ultimately, it's all about how you like your burger. The good news is, you can always have it your way.
