Burger King adding beer to combo
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Burger King is opening a restaurant in Miami Beach that will serve beer along with burgers and fries, the chain’s first U.S. location with alcohol.
At the Whopper Bar South Beach, guests can pair a Whopper sandwich with Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors brews. With fries, the combo will run $7.99.
The restaurant will offer outdoor dining, a walk-up window and delivery service.
It’s scheduled to open mid-February. The announcement was made Friday.
Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy says adding beer at selected locations around the world is part of Miami-based Burger King’s effort to reinvent itself as a fast-food restaurant with a sit-down feel.
I don't know if the whole sit-down fast food idea is going to take off but I'm sure happy that someone in that industry is stepping up and letting me get a brew. You know it will lead to a lot of confusion with drunks trying to order a beer at the drive thru. Inevitably some diralect is going to crawl through the window and try and reach the tap.
But aside from its limitations I still hope Odessa gets one of these places. Right now Odessa's Burger King is famous for being one of the locations targeted by the prank caller claiming to be police who had managers strip search employees.
I have always loved eating burgers. It is the kind of food that I will never get tired of eating.
