History

The Big King was first created in 1997. During its initial launch period in 1996, it was called the Double Supreme Cheeseburger, but later was renamed as the Big King when it was relaunched a year later. 1997 (MCMXCVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Originally, the burger had a look and composition that resembled the Big Mac: it had two beef patties, "King" sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a three-part sesame seed bun. Because its patties are flame-broiled and larger than McDonald's grill fried, seasoned hamburger patties and the different formulation of the "King Sauce" vs. McDonald's "Special sauce", the sandwich had a similar, but not exact, taste and different caloric content. Burger King eventually reformulated the sandwich to use a standard hamburger roll, presumably as a cost measure. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ... Plantains frying in vegetable oil. ... Special sauce is the informal name given to the variation of Thousand Island dressing used in the McDonalds Big Mac hamburger. ...
