Introduction
The Burger King Ch ‘king is a new sandwich that has recently been added to the menu at Burger King. It is a plant-based patty made with a combination of pea protein, wheat, and potato starch, topped with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, and a creamy vegan mayonnaise-style sauce. The Ch ‘king is part of Burger King’s new plant-based line of products, which also includes the Rebel Whopper and Impossible Whopper.
In this review I will explore the taste and texture of the Ch ‘king, its appearance and presentation, nutrition information, price point, pros and cons, comparison to other fast food burgers, my final thoughts and recommendations about it, and sources for further information.
Taste and Texture
The Ch ‘king has a savory taste that is reminiscent of a traditional beef burger patty. The texture is slightly firm but still juicy and tender. The patty itself is not overly spiced or seasoned; instead it relies on the toppings to provide flavor.
The vegan mayonnaise-style sauce adds creaminess to the sandwich while the tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and pickles provide a fresh crunchy contrast. Overall I found the taste and texture of the Ch ‘king to be quite enjoyable.
Appearance and Presentation
The Ch ‘king looks like your typical fast food burger: it comes in a sesame seed bun with all the usual toppings (tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles). The patty itself is brownish-gray in color with a few bits of green from the pea protein visible when you look closely.
The sandwich is presented neatly on an oval paper plate with ketchup packets on the side for added flavor if desired.

The Burger King Ch ‘king contains 290 calories per serving (one sandwich). It also contains 19 grams of fat (7 grams saturated fat), 28 grams of carbohydrates (3 grams dietary fiber), 12 grams of sugar, 15 grams of protein, and 500 milligrams of sodium.
Price Point
The price point for the Burger King Ch ‘king varies depending on where you are located but generally it costs around $5-$6 USD for one sandwich. This makes it an affordable option compared to some other fast food burgers out there.
Pros
The main pro for the Burger King Ch ‘king is that it is plant-based so it appeals to those who are looking for vegan or vegetarian options when dining out at fast food restaurants.
Additionally, it has a great taste and texture that rivals that of traditional beef burgers as well as being reasonably priced compared to other fast food burgers out there.
Cons
The main con for the Burger King Ch ‘king is that it does contain some saturated fat from its vegan mayonnaise-style sauce which can be unhealthy if consumed in large quantities over time.
Additionally, some people may find its flavor profile to be too mild or lacking compared to other more strongly flavored burgers such as those containing beef or bacon.
Comparison to Other Fast Food Burgers
When comparing the Burger King Ch’king to other fast food burgers such as McDonald’s Big Mac or Wendy’s Baconator it definitely holds its own in terms of taste and texture but falls short when it comes to flavor profile due to its lack of beef or bacon ingredients which can provide more intense flavors than plant-based options do.
Additionally, while it does have fewer calories than most other fast food burgers out there it still contains some saturated fat which can be unhealthy if consumed in large quantities over time so moderation should be practiced when eating this sandwich.
Final Thoughts & Recommendations
Overall I found the Burger King Ch’king to be an enjoyable sandwich with a savory taste and tender texture that rivals that of traditional beef burgers without sacrificing any flavor or nutrition value in doing so. It is reasonably priced compared to other fast food burgers out there making it an affordable option for those looking for vegan or vegetarian options when dining out at fast food restaurants without breaking their budget in doing so.
I would recommend trying this burger if you are looking for something different than your typical beef burger but don’t want to sacrifice any flavor or nutrition value in doing so – just remember to practice moderation when eating this sandwich as it does contain some saturated fat which can be unhealthy if consumed in large quantities over time!
Conclusion
In conclusion, I found that the Burger King Ch ‘king was an enjoyable sandwich with a savory taste, tender texture, reasonable price point, and appealing vegan/vegetarian friendly ingredients.
It may not have as strong of a flavor profile as some other fast food burgers due to its lack of beef or bacon ingredients, but overall I found it very enjoyable.
