Burger King is testing delivery in a few Washington, D.C. area restaurants as part of a test that will include 16 restaurants by January 23.

The fast food chain, however, did not provide details on the timing of a national rollout.

Burger King already has successful delivery programs around the world, including in Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, Columbia and Peru, Burger King spokeswoman Kristin Hauser said in a statement.

Man, that's funny- bowing to the Burger King!

I delivered chicken as one of my first jobs. Chicken Delight!..Late one night, in Rio Linda (very dark country home- not much electricity around) I went to the door, delivered the meal, and got back to the truck that had a small oven warmer on the passenger side of the bench seat. The windows were down as it was warm that evening. As I got in the truck, shut the door, and started it up, something flew across the back of my neck headed out the window (a cat- I think).

Being much younger with powerful bladder and colon control, nothing much happened but, that scared the virtual crap out of me for a few seconds.

On another delivery (to Rio Linda, again) I had to drag five chihuahuas to the front door (once I entered the chain-linked front yard) where they sunk their teeth into my tennis shoes and wouldn't let go. I dragged the little turds up the stairs and onto the porch where the customer wasn't fazed at all. For those of you who live in Rio Linda.............

I stopped going there when they started wrapping their burgers in environment friendly thin paper.

Hard to believe there was a time not too long ago when Burger King was considered a real competitor of McDonald’s.

Boston burger served on "white trash bun" on butcher board----fries in brown paper bag.
