THE PLACE

Burger King is ... Well it's Burger King. It looks like a fast food joint. If someone travels through time from the 1800's and wants to know what a fast food restaurant looks like, show them the above picture. They'll get it right away.
THE BURGER

First let's talk about the fries. I like Burger King French fries. They are tasty, but I bought a large and got this amount (see above). That is not a large amount of fries. That is, at best, a medium. This is disappointing. In a world where Five Guy's literally fills half a bag with fries, this is just horrible. Come on Burger King, you used to be better than that.
Of course this is not the French Fries Hunter, but I thought it had to be said.
Not onto the burger. The double whopper with cheese has always been a favourite of mine. It's a half decent burger and very sloppy. Look at the above picture. Look how sloppy that is. (The picture doesn't do the burger justice. I photographed it while it was on my lap and had to use a flash. I'm not a photographer. My wife is, but I thought I didn't need her help. Maybe I should put my ego aside next time. But this isn't the My Wife is a Photographer Hunter.) that is one sloppy burger, and I like it.
The first thing I noticed was the Whopper doesn't have that "these patty's are frozen" taste, they tasted like real burger patty's, which is a bonus. The problem is that the flavor of the patty is muted. It's there, but not very strong, that is because the secret sauce is overpowering. It's a trade off, want sloppy then you gotta have a lot of the secret sauce. So maybe it could be a little less sloppy.
The cheese is a big slice of cheddar, but it couldn't be tasted because, again, the secret dauce was overpowering. Maybe they should rename it the Double Secret Sauce burger with Cheese.
Overall I liked it, but the secret sauce is really a problem, a big problem, so I have choice but to give it a :
