Burger King tests 2 new riffs on its iconic Chicken Fries

Chicken & Waffle and Chicken Parm Fries are available for a limited time exclusively in Boston.

The Bottom Line: Burger King’s struggles last year were emblematic of the chain’s long history. The brand under Tom Curtis suggests things are turning around. But the biggest challenge is to keep it going.

A Deeper Dive: Tom Curtis, president of Burger King in the U.S. and Canada, joins the podcast to talk about the chain’s “Reclaim the Flame” comeback strategy and its progress.
