Mind you, Burger King has enough trouble in the notoriously high cost 415 without worrying about delivery, but read the news and turn the pages, below. (Looks like Oakland’s going to beat us, once again.)
Wonder if BK’ll accept EBT Electronic Benefit Transferfood stamps as payment the way some San Francisco Burgers King do already, you know, gladly.
Anyway:
