The Whopper Bar: All Beef

To be clear, the Whopper Bar won’t actually be serving alcohol — but it will be serving plenty of beef. The Burger King venture will offer Whoppers, Double Whoppers, and Steakhouse XT burgers, along with new Bourbon Whoppers, Three-Cheese Steakhouse XT burgers, and Pepper Bacon Steakhouse XT burgers. Each will come with options for 22 different toppings. Among the choices: guacamole, smoked bacon, or steak sauce.

A “Contemporary” Edge

The first Whopper Bar opens today at the Universal CityWalk in Orlando. Its look is totally different from the typical BK, as seen in the photo above: The bar boasts an open kitchen, a bar-like countertop, and a whole new color scheme. Employees will also wear different uniforms, matching the red, black, and gray restaurant design. Burger King hopes the updated take will give its brand a new “contemporary” edge, representatives say.

Whopper Bar Plans

Burger King is planning six more Whopper Bars around the globe by the end of 2009, with the next set to open in Munich over the summer. Los Angeles, New York and Singapore will soon see locations as well. Eventually, the company says it could open as many as 500 of the units around the world in everywhere from stadiums to casinos and cruise ships.

Maytag Recall: The Details

The Maytag Recall affects particular models of refrigerators released under the names Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Admiral, Magic Chef, Performa by Maytag, and Crosley. Because of an electrical failure in the refrigerators’ relay — the part that switches the compressor on — the units can overheat and catch fire.

So far, Maytag knows of 41 incidents where the refrigerators have ignited. Sixteen of those cases resulted in damage to the owners’ homes.

Is Your Refrigerator Affected?

The models affected by the Maytag recall include only side-by-side and top-freezer refrigerators, not models with freezers on the bottom. They are black, bisque, white, or stainless steel and have model and serial numbers printed on a label on the top middle or left upper-side of the fridge liner. The models have the following combinations of model and serial numbers:

All of the recalled refrigerators were sold between January of 2001 and January of 2004, with prices typically ranging from $350 to $1600.

If you think you might have one of them, call Maytag directly to confirm and set up a free in-home repair: 1-866-533-9817. You can also find more information on the Maytag repair site here.
