Burger King to launch French Fry Burger

Burger King to launch its "French Fry Burger". Jessica Yellin reports on the most outrageous hamburgers in the world.

A big announcement in the world of hamburgers.Burger King is launching a new one.The french fry burger is a 360-calorie hamburger,topped with fries.Burger King helps the new concoction available for just one dollar will up their game and that brings us to tonight's number four.They are putting only 4 french fries on the new french fry burger and that is just sad.But apparently it's part of the trend.Because in recent years while American restaurants have experimented with other food items,the hamburger has gone largely ignored.Hambergers in America remain pretty uniform.But is it a case of ain't break don't fix it,or have we been a little lazy when it comes to our nation's hamburger building.I mean,the hamburger was invented here.It's as American as apple pie.Everybody likes them,democrats and republicans,rich and poor.But lately it appears like the US has melted under the pressure.As other countries have taken over burger innovation,the U.S has fallen behind.Now we should admit some foreign innovations don't work out perfectly.This month a woman did dislocate her jaw eating a three patty burger in Britain.And 150 people got sick from Canada's krona burger.But at least they are trying new things and taking chances,granted at the risk of their cholesterol.And burger king should know better than anyone,if you want to make an omlette,you've got to break some eggs,which means good for you for experimenting but maybe add more than fries to a burger.But we want to know what you think is America still the burger king and who makes your favourite burger.
