Key Points

  • Reviewers inspected Burger King restaurants in Luxembourg and Belgium to see whether the chain’s new Master Angus burger deserves a Michelin star.
  • They treated the fast-food chain like any other restaurant they review and remained anonymous during their visits.
  • Burger King has to wait until November 1 to hear the verdict.
  • Last month, Burger King Belgium launched a petition to get a Michelin star for the restaurant’s new burger, telling reviewers: “Yes, you will be served on a tray.”

Two Michelin reviewers visited two Burger King restaurants in Luxembourg and Belgium to see whether the fast-food chain deserves one of its coveted stars.

The inspectors both ordered a full meal, including Burger King’s Master Angus burger, Michelin told Business Insider. The reviewers remained anonymous during their visits to ensure staff didn’t give them preferential treatment.
