Brad Delp Memorialized by Burger King

NEW YORK - Former Boston singer Brad Delp will be honored by the Burger King corporation, a company spokesman said yesterday. Bradford "Bill" Pitt, regional manager for Burger King's New England stores, said the company made the decision following E! Online's report that Mr. Delp had died from carbon monoxide poisoning "after shutting himself inside a bathroom with two charcoal grills."

"Although Brad professed to be a vegetarian," said Mr. Pitt, "he had a soft spot for burgers, as most vegetarians do?even PETA members.

"In fact, Brad was a frequent customer at the six conveniently located Burger King stores within a ten-mile radius of his home (in Atkinson, New Hampshire). He used the drive-in window to avoid being recognized by fans of Beatlejuice, the Beatles tribute band in which he sang."

Describing Mr. Delp as "the kindest man who ever came through our drive-in windows," Mr. Pitt said that Burger King was renaming its popular Stacker? after the late singer.

"That product will now be known as The Bradster?," said Mr. Pitt. "It was his favorite."

According to the Burger King website, The Bradster? comprises "double, triple, or quadruple layers of beef and cheese?topped with bacon and sauce . . . boasting a flame-broiled stack of meaty goodness, and it's here to stay?no veggies allowed."

"Hi, I'm Kenny Kingsford, telling all you boys and girls out there not to try this indoors."

"We used to laugh that we could tell how Brad was feeling by the kind of Stacker?, I mean Bradster?, he ordered," said Mr. Pitt. "If he ordered the quadruple, he was really jonesing; the double, not so much.

"I was just talking to the night manager of our Haverill, Massachusetts, store, which is only 2.9 miles from Brad's former home. The manager told me that Brad was in for a quadruple around 8:30 the night he died. Brad said his fiancee was out for the night, so he wouldn't have to eat this one in his truck on the way home. That's just the kind of thoughtful, down-to-earth guy he was."

In related news, the Kingsford company, makers of the world's most popular charcoal, has recalled 100,000 bags of its fire-groove, quick-start charcoal from New England-area stores in order to place more prominent "for outdoor use only" warnings on its packaging.

So they named a burger after a good customer who died...what's the problem?

Is it because he killed himself and how he did it? I guess that is a *bit* odd and not something I'd think up, but really, it doesn't matter in my opinion.

i sure hope they asked the family for permission

Making money of a dead customer is bad taste in my opinion....

Making a considerable donation in his name would be a nice move

If they want to name the burger after him check with teh family and get the approval... then donate to a cause in his name

Don't know if I should spoil the "fun" (??), but the "fine print" from "Biff" at the "Pug Bus" would seem to indicate that the above is "fictional (unquote)...

I wouldn't say it turns my stomach, but I wouldn't eat it. You have no idea what kinds of chemicals and preservatives they put in their burgers.

[mbbd5160]

Biff is an idiot .... Anyone that can write such BS about Brad is tasteless, rude and straight up stupid. He was a Vegetarian for 38 years and was the kindest person ever! I hate idiots like this.

[Anibal P]

So they named a burger after a good customer who died...what's the problem?

Is it because he killed himself and how he did it? I guess that is a *bit* odd and not something I'd think up, but really, it doesn't matter in my opinion.

 

They're probably ###### because he was a "vegetarian" in name only and had to hide because god forbid he eat meat like a normal person, would tarnish the image vegetarians/vegans have created for themselves
