Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are better known for their This Is Why You're Fat-esque monstrosities, but the chains' parent company, CKE Restaurants, has begun trending the other way. Today, the two chains will become the first fast-food establishments to introduce a turkey burger as a permanent menu item. Each of the four new Charbroiled Turkey Burgers will clock in at under 500 calories — as Read more

"Crispy. Tender. New," the Burger King website declares of its latest menu item, BK Chicken Tenders. Funny: they might've been new on the BK lineup, but we could've sworn we'd seen them somewhere. Oh, right, on the menu at every McDonald's worldwide for the last three decades as Chicken McNuggets. Much like the BK Breakfast Muffin was to the McDonald's Sausage McMuffin, the BK Chicken Tenders Read more

It's been a lackluster year so far for Burger King: worldwide sales are in decline, and while archrival McDonald's expands its empire by 50,000 new hires, the number two fast food chain has quietly laid off 375 US workers. But the King's not giving up his crown anytime soon. The company has plans to overhaul everything from its strategy and management to its menu items and pricing. Burger King Read more

It's no secret that Burger King's been struggling to keep its number two spot at the top of the fast-feeder chain. Perhaps its latest strategy will create some much-needed buzz: the chain is testing out delivery in America. Burger King's currently testing delivery service with four restaurants in the Washington DC area, and will quickly expand to 16 different stores before the end of this month. Read more

We were mighty surprised Monday to hear that Carl's Jr. and its brother restaurant, Hardee's, were going the healthy route with a new turkey burger under 500 calories — but far less shocked to hear about its commercial campaign featuring a scantily clad Miss Turkey in a bikini. After all, she'd only be following in the footsteps of Paris Hilton, Padma Lakshmi, Audrina Patridge, and Kim Read more

Like condiments, french fries are ripe for a makeover. Just ask the top fast food chains: in the past year, Jack in the Box has overhauled its fries to mimic those at McDonald's, and Wendy's has announced that its new fries are actually better than those from the Golden Arches. The latest chain to jump on the french fry reformulation bandwagon? None other than Burger King. The number two Read more

I wonder what Prince William and Kate Middleton would say about this zinger. Burger King's CEO, Bernardo Hees, is in deep water over calling English food "terrible" and British women "unattractive." Hees told a group of University of Chicago students: "The food is terrible, and the women are not very attractive (in England). Here in Chicago, the food is good, and you are known for good-looking Read more

The king is dead! At least in the world of Burger King commercials. Today, the number-two fast food restaurant announced that it's canning that creepy, crowned character that's been in commercials since 2003. The reason? "Our new marketing approach is more food-centric," BK spokesperson Miguel Piedra explained. In place of the king's odd but humorous appearances, new Burger King commercials, Read more

We were just pondering the next big health food trend — and perhaps one to consider is oatmeal, bearing in mind the pivotal role it's taken on as the star of morning menus at Starbucks, Jamba Juice, McDonald's, and other fast food chains. Oatmeal's looking like the big cash cow in fast food's breakfast wars. The latest big chain on the oatmeal breakfast train? Burger King, which debuted its Read more
