Summer Will Sizzle with New Bone-in BK(TM) Fire-Grilled Ribs - MarketWatch

MIAMI, May 21, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Burger King Corporation (BKC 19.01, +0.13, +0.69%) is firing up guests as the first national fast food hamburger restaurant to dish up authentic, juicy, bone-in pork ribs. The new smokey, slow-cooked BK(TM) Fire-Grilled Ribs -- served with a barbecue dipping sauce and in three serving sizes -- make an ideal snack, add-on item or a more indulgent meal. The BK(TM) Fire-Grilled Ribs are available at participating restaurants for a limited time only.

"Fall-off-the-bone ribs and summer go hand-in-hand, and now we are excited to be the first national fast food hamburger restaurant to offer our guests an authentic bone-in rib menu offering," said John Schaufelberger, senior vice president, global product marketing and innovation, Burger King Corp. "Our guests' initial reaction to this product has exceeded our expectations, further validating the BURGER KING(R) system's investment in our new game-changing broiler. Because of this proprietary cooking technology, we've been able to up the ante in our product development across the board, and BK(TM) Fire-Grilled Ribs are just the beginning of the innovative product line we can offer with this new cooking platform."

Guests at participating restaurants can try the ribs by adding on a three-piece serving to a BK(R) Value Meal for a suggested retail price of an additional $1.99. BK(TM) Fire-Grilled Ribs are also available for value-conscious customers in three- and six-piece serving sizes designed for snacking or as an add-on item. They are available for a suggested retail price of $2.99 and $5.69 respectively. Alternatively, for those in the mood for a more indulgent serving, an eight-piece order is also available for a suggested retail price of $7.19.

Marketing support for the BK(TM) Fire-Grilled Ribs includes in-restaurant merchandising and national TV advertising. Playing off the old adage, "when pigs fly," the 30-second television commercial shows a "pig" with wings convincing a skeptical guest that BURGER KING(R) restaurants are now home to deliciously authentic ribs.

Because slow cooked ribs or burgers at sit-down restaurants and at home are healthier? :roll1:

Ribs are fatty meat that aren't terrible for you, but shouldn't be substituted for salmon or chicken. I think the mistake most people make with ribs is eating a whole rack of them.
4-6 ribs is much more portion friendly and healthy. Especially if they're grilled and dry-rubbed.

But fat doesn't make you fat. The problem with ribs is that they're slathered in corn syrup solids and sugar -- BBQ sauce. E.g., Carbs processed from cereal grains and grass. Ribs aren't healthy no matter where you get them from, unless you're preparing them bone dry, and who wants to do that?!
