Burger King is expanding its Whopper lineup with the introduction of the Steakhouse Bacon Whopper, a new menu item inspired by customer requests. This latest innovation follows the success of the Million Dollar Whopper Contest, which debuted last year and led to the creation of three new Whopper sandwiches designed by Burger King fans.
Background: The Million Dollar Whopper Contest
In early 2024, Burger King launched its first-ever Million Dollar Whopper Contest, inviting customers to design their dream Whopper for a chance to win $1 million and see their creation sold nationwide for a limited time. The contest received over a million submissions, from which three finalists were chosen: the Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper, the Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper, and the Mexican Street Corn Whopper.
The Steakhouse Bacon Whopper
The Steakhouse Bacon Whopper is a flavorful twist on the classic Whopper, featuring A. sauce, crispy onions, bacon, Swiss cheese, creamy peppercorn aioli, lettuce, and tomato. This combination was inspired by fan submissions to the Million Dollar Whopper Contest and feedback on social media.
Availability and Promotions
The Steakhouse Bacon Whopper will be available starting March 6, 2025, at Burger King locations nationwide13. To enhance the dining experience, Burger King is also offering a free premium side upgrade option with the purchase of a combo meal.
Customers can choose from Chicken Fries, Mozzarella Sticks, or Churro Fries instead of the usual fries or onion rings.
