McDonald's in Korea

See, I'm already starting to do the little mini-posts!  Anyways, Burger King apparently came to Korea before McDonald's, and is equally as popular here.  I eat Burger King maybe once or twice a year, but since there's one right next to my work, and occasionally I get these incredible cravings for Western food that I recognize, I've already indulged myself three times.  I've eaten McDonald's a few times as well (and once or twice for a shake or ice cream, which are as good as ever).  Bad I know, and I'm going to be cutting back.  It's my first couple weeks, so give me a break, OK?  It's hard to immediately go from American food every meal to eating Korean food every meal.  I mean, I love Korean food, but for every single meal it gets excessive.  Anyways, McDonald's and Burger King pretty much taste the same, though of course the coke is much better.  What a shame that Coca-Cola, one of the great America icons, is terrible in America and better in any other country in the world.  But McDonald's in Korea has a few different meals.  There's the Bacon Tomato Deluxe, which is a double stacker burger with bacon and tomatoes.  It's awesome, and more filling than the Big Mac.  A Big Mac meal is pretty much a snack for me.  And there #1 is not the Big Mac, it's the Bulgogi Burger, and the #2 is the Double Bulgogi Burger.  I tried it today, and it's very good.  The patty is a little different, and it's covered in some sort of sauce...I think it's a thick soy sauce.  Anyways, I thought it was the same calibre as McDonald's other burgers, although the Bacon Tomato Deluxe will certainly be my usual here in Korea.
