It’s funny how this isn’t even an odd request anymore. Most places will make burgers into lettuce wraps now. I wonder which factors (keto, gluten-free, broader health awareness) or combination of them had the most influence on changing perception about it?
Gluten free I think, that was basically the only reason we made them back when I worked at a fast food joint
I used to order this way when I was doing the atkins diet. Now I am vegetarian and have ordered a whopper without the meat.
The milkshake, on the other hand…
Likely on both hands. And your lap. And the floor…
Just the way I likes it.
As someone who doesn’t remember those days, why was it so ridiculous to get a burger without a bun? Even without lettuce wraps, it seems like it would’ve been simple enough to throw/stack in the wrapper/box. Messy, but simple. These days, it’s commonly eaten with a fork.
What was different back then?
This is based on a marketing campaign back in the day from Burger King called Have It Your Way. At the time having things customized in the food industry, especially fast food was not common and food allergies/intolerance were not really acknowledged. If you didn’t like pickles or tomatoes, you picked them off instead of being made without for you. So when BK started this it was pretty revolutionary.
