Xtreme Food: Whop-Bang

Note line item for chicken patty!
After reading a number of blogs about the McGangBang that people are ordering from McDonalds, on a whim I decided to try it's cousin the Whop-Bang from Burger King... in the name of food science, of course!

Some of you will ask - what the heck is a McGangBang? Go click the link! It's a McChicken sandwich inside of a Double-Cheeseburger. Doesn't that sound delish? Well, it kinda does, at least.

Surprisingly, the cashier took my order in stride! She was initially stymied as to how to ring it up, but quickly got past that. She did turn around to address the sandwich maker in the back, and gave her some specific instructions where to place the chicken patty that was on the order. From where I stood, the confused look on the sandwich-maker's face was pretty priceless.

Still in the wrapperAs expected, once the other employees overheard what was being ordered, there was a great deal of interest in both the sandwich and the big goofball that ordered it. Even the guy in line behind me said "man, that sounds like a good sandwich!"

My first reaction was HOLY CRAP that thing is huge! Quite tall in stature. It was one of those sandwiches that once you pick it up, you can't let it out of your paw or it'll fall apart.
UGH look at this thing

The chicken certainly added a new degree of flavor as well as texture - not at all unpleasant. It's not something I'll ever order again, mind you, but it wasn't bad at all. The lettuce/tomato/onion/pickle pretty much got squeezed out during the necessary man-handling of the sandwich, but that was expected.

I will now proceed to look for a suitable place to nap at the office.
