    I work at one of the 3. You could have easily just asked for Just a pattie and also made fresh. In a FF kitchen, the meat has a possibility of sitting for a time period, in which they do loose moisture. Not to mention they are all cooked differently. BK is flame broiled, McD is frozen and cooked on a flat top, and Wendys is fresh patties cooked on a flat top with a flat lid top.

    Facts .
    1. McDonald's freezes their meat frys then puts meat in a warm tub of water.
    2. Burger King freezes their meat cooks over propane flames then into a tub of water.
    3. Wendy's never freezes their meat (ordered or stored) frys meat . Cooked to order. Excess meat is made into chili meat . Usually they have to deliberately cook chili meat due to their efficiency.
    Now if you like your burger soaking up tap water then McDonald's and Burger King is for you.
    I'm going with Wendy's fresh never frozen or bathed burger.
    P.S. you really should see those bins they use for the burger water. Nasty, bacteria, particles....gross.

How many times have you ever done that when BBQ'ing burgers ? To achieve "juiceiness" one cooks it at different degrees like "rare, med rare, med" etc. Not well done then put into tub of water to be able to swallow it.

    We don't get as many choices in the UK, but between Mc Donald burgers and Burger King's, Burger King wins hands down, but should do considering the price difference between them.
