Wow,...that's really messed up....can you image...little Johnny or little Sally CARDING someone for a beer? OMG....and when their High School friends show up,....you think they won't let them get the beer instead of soda? and what about underage workers? how do you know they won't be nipping at the tap? OMG...too many logistics to think about here...lol |

Some fast food places already do that, such as Weinerschnitzel, which is popular out west. Some Nathan's have beer. Pizza Hut also has beer, but not all their locations.But it is interestign that BK is doing it now. |

I'm waiting to see if Mayor Bloomberg actually allows this in NYC Burger Kings. I don't even want to think about the calorie count of a Double Whopper Meal with beer...lOL!Seriously, though, you're right...those HS kids (both employees and their friends) are going to run wild with this. Expect New York City to make employment at BK age-restricted in the near future. |

Don't look for exotic brews - BK is starting out with domestic brands like Miller at Budweiser and will consider other beers down the road.That doesn't look like "Miller or Budweiser" to me.... :)  |

It's not illegal for minors to pour beer (don't ask me why, as I was as surprised as anyone). What about baseball stadiums? Underage always pour the beer at the concessions. Even places like the concession stand in Jones Beach has underage workers pouring from the taps. This is nothing new. |

There are plenty of underage workers pouring beer at Yankee Stadium, etc. 21 is not even a requirement for being a bartender, if I am not mistaken, even places like Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, etc have underage bartenders, if I am not mistaken. Not to mention the wait staff bringing the beer and liquor to the tables. |

Those are SIT DOWN PLACES....in other words...CONTROLLED places...get it? FAST FOOD IS NOT CONTROLLED...in most cases...it can be a crazy place at various times and various areas..get it? lol |

There's apparently one of these in Orlando in Florida already.http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miami-dade/breaking-news/story/1440043.html "At the Whopper Bar South Beach, guests can pair a Whopper sandwich with Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors beer products. A Whopper combo with a beer and fries will cost $7.99." That's cheap! Isn't a regular Whopper meal with a soda like $6 or $6.50? |

What about Nathans and Pizza Hut which does it already also?Also, it didnt say that this was going to be at "every" Burger King. There's a difference between a Burger King on Collins Ave in South Beach and the Burger King on "Queens Blvd".... |

A Whopper meal is even more expensive in Manhattan below 96th Street. (Everything is more expensive in Manhattan south of the Great White Line.) |

(Everything is more expensive in Manhattan south of the Great White Line.)Jay Zee: I like that line. Of course everything in New York gets more expensive the closer that you get to 42 Street; except maybe Nathan's. I was out at Coney Island yesterday and they wanted $3.15 for a hot dog. If I go to the Papaya Place on 6 Avenue I can get two hot dogs and a 12 oz.ice cold orange drink for $4.35. Its called the "Recession Special." Larry, RedbirdR33 |

Seriously, this is the first time I've heard of this. If this goes through at all Burger King stores, I'm sure cashiers (front line and drive through) will have to be of legal age (to sell the beer). |

It's going to take a while before you can get a beer at Burger King here. It says on the news it's going to be limited to a BK store in Miami. And that's not going to start for a few months |

In Maryland, Burger King is going to have a big problem. Under Maryland law, food establishments that sell beer, wine or liquor must have a license and cannot employ anyone under the age of 18, that would cut them out of 90% of part time employees. |

The Miami store opens next month and Times Square is already one of the locations that they are investigating. Hollywood would probably be the best location to try it in LA. |

In LA nearly all of the fast food workers are adult immigrants.Anyway they haven't said that they want to open one in Maryland anyway. I don't think that all of their restaurants will serve beer. Just select ones. |

Not that I don't like it, I just don't go to it much anymore. I just went to Burger King about 3 days ago for the first time in about a year or so.... Someone gave me a gift card to BK, so I figured I would start using it, and got lunch there. It was really good, since I didn't have it in a long time. |

The article does mention the first "Whopper Bar" will open in Miami Beach and then Burger King (aka BK) will look at potential other "tourist meccas" such as Times Square, Las Vegas and Los Angeles (doesn't mention possible Los Angeles neighborhoods for potential "Whopper Bars").Washington, D.C. could be considered a "tourist mecca". |

And Orlando is definitely a tourist mecca. And I wonder when using "mecca" in that way will be considered offensive, assuming that it's not already. |

I thought that El Pollo Loco was everywhere. The next time that you drive from LA to Vegas make sure to stop at one of the original Del Taco's in Barstow at the Lenwood Ave exit. They use fresh tomatoes, real cheese, and man...it's delicious! |

Actually.....I ate at that Del Taco for lunch one time when I drove from LA to Las Vegas...we took a restroom break, and had a "snack" at that Del Taco.... I didn't know that was one of the originals.As for El Pollo Loco being "everywhere", they may be "everywhere" (and they were) in Los Angeles, but definitely not everywhere everywhere! |

It makes sense to test market this in a warm climate city.So why not Texas? I remember a friend who promoted a Lucha Libre event in Texas years ago. He had a beer sponsor, and poured the sponsors beer, but by law, he had to pour at least two other beers as well. If this law is still in effect, it would mean BK has to ad several beers to their menu which is complicated. |
