Since everyone is all on how fast food is bad for you, I am going to start reviewing fast food.. take that!.....

anyways!

First up, the new BK Rib Sandwich

Size: It's not a small sandwich, it is about the size of a normal BK whopper

Ingredients: Rib patty similar to the McRib at McDonalds in shape and form, BBQ Sauce, and pickles

The bun was slightly different then other BK buns, it was thicker and they toasted it to give it a more crunchy feel. The rib patty felt exactly like the McDonalds McRib and had an almost similar taste. It was not dipped in BBQ sauce like the McRib is however. BK covers the top of it in a tangy BBQ sauce that has a kick to it and a hint of smokiness. It is definitely a stronger sauce then most are use to with the McRib, but works out great taste wise with this sandwich. The pickles are the only thing that throws the sandwich off some, but still work well together with the BBQ sauce.

If you are expecting a replacement for the McRib, it is close. Burger King definitely pulled this sandwich off and made a pretty good attempt. At approx. $4 a sandwich though, it can be a bit pricy for what you get.

Taste: 9/10

Size: 8/10

Sauce: 8/10

========

Overall: 8/10

Yum would hit that up like a mac truck if it were available in Aus.

Is $4 really on the pricey side of a burget in the States though?

no, $4 is pretty average for a fast food sandwich. People want to think that fast food is still cheap, but it's not. i just paid over $8 for a combo at wendy's today.

great review, however after I tried the McRib and had to stop eating after 1 bite I will be passing on this. If I goto BK, I am getting a Whopper. Keep the reviews coming!!

Chedder stuffed bacon whopper right now isn't to bad. It's a flame broiled beef patty with ground bacon pieces and chedder cheese mixed into the patty, topped with onion rings, lettuce, tomato, mayo on a similar bun, but I think they just ended that promotion for this year... we're on to BBQ season now...

What I hate about these boneless rib meat mushes is they are just dishonest. At least with ground beef I can accept the fact that it is ground up and served in patty form. I doubt these "rib" sandwiches even contain rib meat... they might contain some meat but who knows what kind.

Thanks for the review!

I feel the same way, just because they form some mystery meat into the shape of ribs does not make them ribs.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
