Review by: kiwireviewer-00
Dated: 15th of April, 2004
Once upon a time, in a land not too far distant, someone said "We need a REAL burger, suited to the NZ market. It will have all the things that make Kiwi tasebuds dance with delight. It will have enough of all things to satisfy the meanest hunger. It will be reasonably priced, and will appeal to anyone with an appitite."
And so was born McDonald's Kiwi Burger, and it's close cousin, the Mega Feast (or the McLomu Burger as it was once jokingly called.)
The Boss Burger is the poor cousin to these fine towers of munch, and it has REPLACED them! This HAS to be possibly the DUMBEST marketing move McDonalds have ever made in New Zealand. They have INCREASED the price and DECREASED the content!
When questioned, one staff member said (with an obvious look of "Oh hell! What do I tell this guy?!") "Well, erm, you see, they've taken out the egg and the beetroot, and, umm, added an extra meat pattie in. It's our answer to Burger King's MeatBurgers, like the triple-decker cheeseburger thing. So, do you want one or not... sir." (Just a novice I think. I did not detect any 'attitude', just a lot of confusion.)
So I ordered one, snapped a quick pic for the site, and started to munch. May as well see if this really IS a suitable replacement for my favourite burger (The Kiwiburger) - alas, it was not. It was indeed a poor replacement. Bland taste, not at all filling, and lacking the 'X-factor' entirely.
Overall, I would have to say that if it weren't for their Tuna Salad I wouldn't bother going back from now on. As it is, they have lost a good 80% of my business with this single move.

Well lordy lordy... it seems I wasn't the only one who told them that the Boss was a bad idea... though they have kept this one on the menu, at least they BROUGHT BACK the good ol' KIWIburger. :) However, something has suffered since it was originally introduced,m because the current ones just aren't all that good anymore... and after chatting to a helpful, informative staff person this time, I found out they have changed the cooking methods slightly, it seems I am not the only one to have told them of the strange new taste too. Well, good try, McD's...
the boss is nice as kiwi burgers are yuck
I love the Boss burger, it's the only burger I'll ever buy from there.
Although there is the small problem of fat content because it's practically dripping as soon as you take it out of the carton. Some friends of mine have stated that 'it sucks' and 'bring back the kiwi burger' but I'll stick with this one. Thank goodness I only eat McDs once in a while. Thanks for reading
