Burger King’s new Whopper is what fans have been asking for. What’s on it?
Fans of Burger King Whoppers soon can sink their teeth into a new option.
The BBQ Brisket Whopper hits menus Tuesday, July 15, for a limited time at participating Burger King restaurants nationwide, according to the Miami-based burger chain.
A smoky twist on the original, the new sandwich features an all-beef patty piled with BBQ brisket, crispy onions, American cheese and a golden barbecue sauce, Burger King said in a news release.
It’s also topped with lettuce, tomato and mayo and served on a bun.
Those with a smaller appetite can order the sandwich as a Whopper Jr., Burger King said.
Pricing information wasn’t immediately available.
It’s Burger King’s latest iteration of its signature “flame grilled” Whopper, which debuted in 1957. The BBQ Brisket burger is also the first creation to come out of the new “Whopper by You” platform, which invites fans to dream up their very own Whopper creations.
“As the brand known for ‘Have It Your Way,’ we want to continue letting our Guests tell us what they want — and when it comes to our iconic Whopper sandwich, they have a lot of ideas,” Joel Yashinsky, chief marketing officer for Burger King US&C, said in the release.
Last year, Burger King released a trio of limited-time Whopper sandwiches created by fans as part of its “Million Dollar Whopper” contest, McClatchy News reported.
The finalists included a fried pickle ranch Whopper, a maple bourbon Whopper and a Mexican street corn Whopper. Fans had a shot at a $1 million prize and saw their creations featured on menus nationwide, Burger King said.
The new BBQ Brisket Whopper will be available for a limited time, though the burger chain didn’t say for how long.
