I'm big in Japan, and so are the hamburgers


Seriously, I'm big in Japan. No, not my blog, but as an American woman, i'm physically BIG in Japan in comparrison to their tiny race of men and women. Which is why, it surprised me to learn that Burger King has launched a new hamburger in Japan which rivals any supersized sandwich we have stateside! Bigger than the Big Mac, bigger than one of those square Baconaters(why are they SQUARE?) shaped hamburgers at Wendys, and bigger than Paula Dean's Lady's Brunch Burger!


So, it begs the question, "why Tokyo?"


My intial reaction is that is has something to do with the tsumami/earthquake. There must be a lot of people without proper food, and so BK has decided to swoop in and offer this delicious creation as a substitute, for well, all three meals. It's like those calorie bars that they feed to people in refugee camps, except, far more delicious.


I hope that Japan is only a small test market, and that we can be expecting these burgers in our own country in the very near future. I do hope that BK will also see the errors in its ways by making the chicken patty GRILLED (#fail).


I'm quickly tiring of my usual fast food hot spots on my lunch break, so I shall use this blog as a vessel to also highlight dining options for Federal (and non Federal--suckas!) employees.
