NEWS / Burger King Dethrones Its Creepy 'King' Mascot

Looks like we've got a good old-fashioned revolution on our hands. The King is dead. Long live the Whopper!

Burger King will be retiring their ad mascot, the King, in favor a new ad campaign that features their healthy food options.

It sounds like an odd stance for the burger-serving fast food chain to be taking, but experts say it's not unusual. Lots of fast food chains, like Subway and 7-Eleven, have been successfully focusing on the freshness of their food.

REVIEW / Luigi's Coal Oven Pizza in Fort Lauderdale: Pizza's Not the Best Thing on the Menu at This Las Olas Joint

PLACE Luigi's is a tight space. It's so small that your gut will plunge into the table when the diner behind you so much as fidgets in his seat.

MENU Pizza balanced out by family-style house salads, oven-roasted wings, and a few pasta specials....  three pizzas — made on two different dates weeks apart — had something in common "the middle of the pie was limp, thin, and undercooked"  Only real parmigiano reggiano, Italian mozzarella, and romana are used for cheese. The tomatoes, prosciutto, Parma ham, and salami are all from Italy too. For an informal pizzeria, Luigi's offers an extensive wine list.

SCENE the Las Olas crowds are here — and they're claiming every one of those tables.
