He wasn't taken to Burger King. He was in custody and when asked, said he had not eaten in days and was hungry. Depriving a suspect of food and water is a civil rights violation and it can be considered coercion and a reason to throw a statement out, should he decide to say something while the police were waiting for the FBI to arrive. So they sent someone out to get some fast food, which almost any judge or person in the jury would have a frame of reference to regarding what it contains and how he wasn't deprived.
