CBS Detroit Tasters Review The Burger King Grilled Dogs And Corn Dogs

@GeorgeJFox

Warning. We may be talking with our mouths full.

The Burger King Grilled Dogs and corn dogs are in the building. How did they fare with our tasters?

97.1 The Ticket Webmaster said, "It's good. Good flavor," but balked at the $2.79 price tag on the A1 Ultimate version with bacon, cheese and A1 Sauce. That's kind of pricey when you're talking about fast food hot dogs, but hey, it has bacon.

Get the specifics on the other Grilled Dogs varieties.

CBS Detroit Video Producer Roberto Boschian tried the classic ($1.99) and said, "They taste just like the burgers ... flame broiled." He went as far as to say he'd rather buy the hot dogs instead of the burgers on his next visit.

WWJ Webmaster Marisa Fusinski tried the corn dog ($1.49) and considers herself a newly rekindled fan of them in general. "I haven't had a corn dog in years, but it makes me think I like corn dogs."

My take on the corn dog is similar. The freshly battered and fried corn dogs are crispy with a classic corn meal coating that will instantly transport you to the county fair.

"I'd easily pay $1.49 for it again. I kind of with I had two." added Mohan after finishing her corn dog.

I also had the chili cheese dog. The toppings were a bit sparse, the chili was a little dry for my liking, but nicely smokey and rich. The cheese was barely there. I was wowed by the toasted bun. It's a nice touch and helps the bread stay strong and hold everything together.
