Burger King Vs Maggiano Comparison

The two websites that I decided to compare are those of Burger King and Maggiano’s Little Italy. I decided to select these two, because they are two restaurants on opposite ends of the spectrum. One is a low end fast food chain while the other is a high end restaurant.

Despite that, I still prefer Burger King’s bodacious website over the Maggiano’s
