I must ask because I find it to be the most boring thing on any menu (not just at the CCR), almost impossible to eat elegantly and the last thing I would ask for, but that's of course my preference and I would like to understand what attracts people to have it/try it.
I've had it a few times and find it okay, nothing special. I always have it with blue cheese as I find the cheese really brings out the flavour. I absolutely loathe McDonalds so if McD's burger is better than the CCR version then McD's has improved vastly since I last had one.

The teenage Jr Tobias always chooses the burger (with blue cheese) and he enjoys them.

Sometimes I feel people here use a little too much hyperbole when it comes to anything BA, look at the comments we've seen of late about First. Sometimes, by the descriptions used, it appears some use a different Concorde Room or a different First cabin than the ones I use. I often don't recognise the product they are talking about. Some like to moan/criticise, it appears, for the sake of moaning or criticising. The burger 'discussion' is no different.

At the end of the day it is just what it is, a burger. Some like it, others love it and others hate it. I hate sushi, my wife loves it but we never go on and on and on about how horrid/great it is. It's all down to taste, or perhaps snobbery ...
