How do you improve on a juicy Whopper? You wrap it up in a delicious soft tortilla and turn it into a burrito, of course.
Just chuck in some fries and it’s the drunk food of your dreams.
Introducing Burger King’s newest menu item, the Whopperrito, a heady combination of a classic flame-grilled Whopper and burrito.
The ultimate fast food mashup sees ground flame-grilled beef, melting American cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, onions and pickles wrapped into a snug flour tortilla.
According to US website GrubGrade, which first broke the news that Burger King were toying with a burrito-burger lovechild, the Whopperrito is currently being trialled at locations in Pennsylvania, USA.
Beats the Burper I guess.
Should have called it The Big Bopper.
Is this real? I may just try it. I usually don’t like hard tortillas that shatter and mess your shirt up when you take a bite. I can already hear the protesters yelling about ‘misappropriation’ of the language for Whopper-rito. I think it’s the most creative, and appealing change they have tried in a quite a while.
That’s good. I like that one.
Been making those since I was a kid.
Sans cheese.
Just finished a “Tournament Burger” no cheese, no BBQ sauce and extra bacon. I mean they put loads of bacon on this thing .
Finished that off with some of the best fries.
Where?
Frickin Bass Pro Shop in San Jose.
Coming back to try the Buffalo Burger.
Ugh! I’m stuffed.
Must have been 1/2 pound of hoof .
Only other place that has burgers like that is the ice cream shop in Los Gatos, toward Saratoga.
Signed up for shoot and skoot club before hand.
God Bless the USA....
Your name suggestion is reminiscent of the "Doo-Whopper" era of music!
That sounds decent, actually.
Wow! I can’t wait to NOT try it.
Done right, this sounds a lot like an idea / wish I’ve had for a long time: A good* “burger” for eating on the road, without it coming apart and ending up in one’s lap or on one’s shirt.
*I like Whoppers, though only 2 or 3 a week at most!
Now do something similar with a good Chicago style Italian Beef sandwich. :-)
Can I haz burrierr with cheez?
Protesters don’t say a thing about all of the hipster food trucks with asian-mexican (really Tex-mex) fusion.
Haven’t set foot in the place since their “gay burger”.
Maybe you should open a chain featuring those Chicago style Italian Beef sandwiches wrapped properly. You might make a fortune there.
(There are some sandwiches out there that would probably need a giant "pizza wrap", to encase them properly.)
Cue college snowflakes whining about cultural appropriation.
Just looking at that made my bad cholesterol go up a few points.
You should sue! You could own that creepy king!
Well, I’ll try anything once. I used to be a Whopper guy, but the nearest Burger King has gotten so filthy I don’t go there any more. Waiting for new management.
Do you remember the old Burger King commercial - linked here - which said "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce...Have it your way"?
Well, to limit the bad cholesterol in those pictured sandwiches, one just has to say "Hold the burgers, hold the cheese".
