The Burger King Whopper Bar

"Can I get a whopper, fries and a Bud?" Ask that at any of the roughly 8,000 Burger King's across the USA and you'll be denied the Bud...except one. If you were to guess where, you may think Vegas but no, it's another party town: South Beach.

The news was released a few weeks ago and the plans are set for around the middle of this month for a BK in South Beach to start serving Budweiser (boo!) aluminum bottles at a "whopping" $4.25 (sorry, the pun was unavoidable). If ordering an extra value meal with one of these beers, it'll cost you about $7.99. This move is to try to pick up declining sales and compete with other alcohol-serving traditional restaurants.

I can hear it now..."hey, want to go to that nice Italian restaurant, get some wine, have a good meal...?" ("umm, we could...or we could just go to Burger King and have a Budweiser!") "Great idea!!"

I'm not surprised that all Burger King joints (and all other fast food joints across the country) don't serve beer by this point, but I am surprised that it hasn't already caught on in tourist-heavy and metropolitan areas, especially considering beer has been served in fast food restaurants in Europe for a long time.

Frankly, I don't really care because I very rarely eat fast food and never drink Bud. Unless they open up In and Out Burger with microbrews on tap in the Northeast, I won't be drinking and fast fooding.
