I have strong teeth, no cavities, and yet biting into that bread was painful—no exaggeration. I wouldn't be surprised if others have lost a tooth because of it. Don’t get me wrong, the flavors are really good, especially for fast food, and I wish I could visit more often. But it’s a tough choice between enjoying the flavor and dealing with the pain, or opting for Burger King, which I wouldn't enjoy at all.

When I opened the bag I was shocked how small the portions looked. The “turkey bacon avocado” sandwich had no avocado on it either. The taste of the food is good, but I definitely can’t justify spending that kind of money for it.
