McDonald\u2019s wins on predictability, not excellence.B \u2014 Burger King: Flame-Grilled IdentityBurger King leans heavily into flame-grilling, which gives its burgers a smoky flavor you won\u2019t find elsewhere.For Complete Cooking STEPS Please Head On Over To Next Page Or Open button (>) and don\u2019t forget to SHARE with your Facebook\u00a0friends<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before ranking anything, it helps to define what we mean by \u201cbest.\u201d Otherwise, you\u2019re comparing apples to oranges\u2014or in this&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20430,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Criteria: What Makes a \u201cBest Burger\u201d?
