Burger King menu adds wild new burger, supports growing craze
Burger King has regularly pushed the boundaries of burger innovation. Much of that innovation comes from the company's locations all over the world. Restaurant Brands International (QSR) CEO Josh Kobza highlighted the chain's non-United States results during it first-quarter earnings call. Related: Popular sandwich chain to open locations in Mexican market "Shifting now to International. We're pleased with our relative performance this quarter, delivering 2.6% comparable sales or roughly 3.7%, excluding the headwind from Leap Day and 8.6% system-wide sales growth. We saw solid growth in many of our largest markets, including the UK, Germany, Brazil, Japan and Australia. These markets share a few common traits, compelling everyday value, exciting menu innovation, modern restaurant image, strong digital capabilities and a focus on restaurant level execution," he explained. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Sales in the U.S. were not as strong. "Shifting now to Burger King in the U.S., where we saw a 1.1% decrease in comparable sales, or relatively flat results adjusting for leap day. Burger King U.S. continued to outperform the broader burger QSR category, reflecting the ongoing progress of our claim to flame plan in capturing share," he said. Burger King U.S. may have to borrow the latest idea from its Japanese restaurants. Burger King Japan has partnered with the Pickleball Japan Federation (PJF) to support the growth of the sport in the country. The fast-food chain is clearly having fun with the play on words, but pickleball actually has no relationship to the popular burger topping. That's not stopping Burger King from launching a wild new burger that does not follow the traditional rules generally applied to hamburgers. The Pickleball Burger won't use a traditional bun. Burger King describes the new burger a "large, American-style rice burger, with three flame-grilled 100%-beef patties sandwiched between special rice patties that have been jointly developed with Hachidaime Gihey, a long-established rice shop in Kyoto."

The Pickleball Burger appears to have pickles on two layers, but no other toppings. The burger, which has been released will be available for a limited time starting at a cost of 1,790 yen or $12.28. The Pickleball Burger isn't the Pickleball Whopper because it sort of a sequel to last year's Kyoto Whopper. "The Kyoto Whopper uses Japanese-grown rice, but not in the way that we're used to seeing. Whereas typical "rice burgers" use rice as substitutes for the bun, the Kyoto Whopper has a rice patty in addition to an all-beef one, sandwiched inside a sliced bread bun along with lettuce, tomato, and onion," Sora News 24 shared. Burger King has leaned on the Whopper name heavily. "This quarter, strong value offerings like the $5 duos and $7 trios were complemented by premium innovation, including the Steakhouse Bacon Whopper, which achieved one of our highest product satisfaction scores to date,' Kobza said. The CEO plans to do more of the in the chain's global markets. Plans include building the Burger King brand. "I think when you look at the Burger King brand in international, it's a bit different. It has some really great qualities that are - that position it to grow so well. We've got a strong brand positioning," he said. "We've got modern restaurants in almost all of our markets.

And because of a lot of those things, we have pretty great brand perception and really good food quality perception in those markets, where we balance some of our favorites like the Whopper with strong localization that each of our teams bring," he added.

Miracle as hiker survives being pinned facedown by 300kg boulder for three hours
Kell Morris has his wife Jo Roop to thank as she held his head above water to prevent him from drowning when the boulder crashed onto him during a hike in Alaska, US A hiker somehow escaped unscathed after he was pinned facedown into an icy creek by a massive boulder for three hours. Kell Morris was trapped when the boulder weighing 318kg - around the size of an American-style fridge freezer - crashed onto him during a hike near a remote glacier. He credits his wife Jo Roop for saving his life as the woman held his head above water to prevent him from drowning during the ordeal on the weekend. The 61-year-old man drifted in and out of consciousness as seven rescuers lifted the massive boulder off him. They were only able to reach the rambler when a dog sled tourism company which operates on the glacier overheard the 911 dispatch and offered up its helicopter to assist in the operation. Speaking today, somehow nursing just minor injuries, Kell said: "I was very lucky, and luckier that I have such a great wife. God was looking out for me... When it first happened, I was doubtful that there was going to be a good outcome." Kell and Jo decided to hike near Godwin Glacier near Anchorage, Alaska on an isolated and undeveloped trail behind a state prison. Their trail was actually a rocky creek bed lined with large boulders deposited by the glacier. They managed to dodge several large boulders until they reached a particularly hazardous spot. Kell, originally from Idaho, said: "The whole side slid out from under me." He tumbled down the embankment about 20 feet (six metres), landing face down in the water. Kell landed under rocks, in between his legs and around him which caught the weight of the boulder, preventing him from being crushed, the fire service said. However, the huge rock still had him pinned, and Kell felt intense pain in his left leg and waited for his femur to snap. Jo, who works for a police department in Alaska, tried to free him for about 30 minutes, putting rocks under the boulder and trying to roll it off him, before she left to find a mobile phone signal. She managed to get signal, and relied on her law enforcement experience to send exact GPS coordinates to dispatch. Seward Fire Chief Clinton Crites praised Jo and the support from the dog sled firm. He added: "I think if we hadn't had that private helicopter assist us, it would have taken us at least another 45 minutes to get to him, and I'm not sure he had that much time." Kell was battling to prevent hypothermia when the rescuers used brute force to haul the boulder off him. An Alaska National Guard helicopter lifted them out of the creek bed with a rescue basket. The hiker spent two nights at the local hospital for observation but walked away unscathed. Mr Crites said: "I fully anticipated a body recovery, not him walking away without a scratch on him."

Burger King releases a Pickleball Burger in Japan
Limited-edition exclusive serves up newly developed rice patties for the sport, with the help of a Kyoto specialist. Burger King is throwing its support behind pickleball this year by signing a sponsorship agreement with the Japan Pickleball Federation (PJF). ▼ Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. The new sponsorship will be front and centre at the PJF Pickleball Japan Open in Sasebo, Nagasaki, in June, and at the PJF Pickleball Japan League Burger King Cup in Tokyo's Ariake district in August, and to celebrate, the chain is releasing a special burger in honour of the occasion. Called the Pickleball Burger, this new offering is said to be a 'large, American-style rice burger', with three flame-grilled 100-percent beef patties boldly sandwiched between special rice patties that have been jointly developed with Hachidaime Gihey, a long-established rice shop in Kyoto. ▼ Hachidaime Gihey previously worked with Burger King to produce its limited-time Kyoto Whopper. Hachidaime Gihey's expertise in the selection, milling, blending, and cooking of rice led to the creation of the newly developed patty, which has been crafted from a combination of carefully selected white rice and a type of brown rice known as Kin-no-Ibuki. This combination is said to be the perfect partner for the beef patties, enhancing the flavour of the meat while showcasing the natural sweetness of rice. ▼ Each grain is distinct and has a smooth, pleasant texture. Given its name, the burger doesn't miss out on this opportunity to use pickles, stuffing eleven of them in between the meat and rice layers. With a stripped-back combination of just three essential ingredients — beef, rice and pickles — this burger allows the quality of each component to take centre court in every mouthful. Set to be released for a limited time from 30 May, the Pickleball Burger will be priced at 1,790 yen (US$12.28).
