Burger King has answer to summer heat: copious amounts of meat and garlic

We’re still searching for that perfect way to survive summer, whether it be by eating cow tongue ice cream or tossing water onto the street. However, Burger King claims they have the answer we’ve all been looking for: grilled meat, fried garlic, and lots of both.

Starting on 26 July they will be releasing two sandwiches as part of their Summer Stamina series dubbed the Garlic Meat Monster and Garlic Double Cheese.

The Garlic Meat Monster (Garlic Meat Beast in English for some reason) is indeed a monster (or beast) containing a Whopper-style quarter-pound charbroiled beef patty, a pork patty with a blend of spices and seasonings unique to Japan, AND a slow-roasted tender chicken breast.

This heap of meat is then topped with large slices of fried garlic. The sandwich is completed with a special sauce that blends green onion and red miso, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayonnaise, all on a sesame seed bun.

Burger King Japan claims that this and the following burger are intended to “give stamina to our customers during the hot summer when their appetite and strength are drained.”  However, with our diminished appetites in the summer heat the Garlic Meat Monster might be a little much. For that, Burger King will let you recharge gently with the smaller Garlic Double Cheese burger.

Despite the name, the Garlic Double Cheese only has one slice of cheese. It does, however, have two 2.2 oz. (63 g) beef patties, a helping of fried garlic, a spicy pepper Caesar sauce, and some more black pepper. The image appears to show some bacon on top, but bacon wasn’t mentioned in the description. Perhaps they only serve that to people they especially like?

I certainly hope there is bacon on it because nothing cools me off in the summer more than some frosty strips of pork.

The burgers go on sale from 26 July at most Burger King locations in Japan. The Garlic Meat Monster will go for 650 yen (US$6.50) and the Garlic Double Cheese is 320 yen ($3.20). However, from 26 to 29 July the Garlic Double Cheese will be available for the “trial price” of 200 yen ($2) as BK wants as many customers as possible to experience the stamina boosting effects of their meaty and garlicky sandwiches.

I admit I’m skeptical that a burger with three different meats at once doesn’t seem like a cure for this season long heat wave, but at this point I’m definitely willing to try.
