Burger King has long been known for its slogan “Have it your way,” and the fast-food giant is taking that to a whole new level. In an effort to provide customers with the kind of menu items they truly want, the brand has turned to its fans for inspiration.
In 2024, Burger King launched the “Million Dollar Whopper” competition, inviting customers to submit their own Whopper creations. The winner would receive a $1 million prize, and the winning burger would be added to the menu. By November 2024, the finalists were announced: a Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper by Fabian from California, a Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper by Calvin, also from California, and a Mexican Street Corn Whopper by Kelsie from Nebraska. Early in 2025, the Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper was crowned the winner.
Though fans are still waiting for this flavor-packed Whopper to hit the permanent menu, Burger King has made it clear that the Million Dollar Whopper competition is far from over. The contest received millions of submissions, many of which could easily be the next fan-favorite item at Burger King.
Now, in March 2025, Burger King is introducing another new Whopper inspired by a fan’s idea from the competition: the Steakhouse Bacon Whopper. This limited-time offering features a flame-grilled Whopper patty topped with A.1. sauce, crispy onions, bacon, Swiss cheese, peppercorn aioli, lettuce, and tomato—creating a burger with all the rich flavors you’d expect from a steakhouse, but with a Burger King twist.
The idea for the Steakhouse Bacon Whopper came from the Million Dollar Whopper contest, as well as fan comments on social media. Starting March 6, customers can grab this flavorful creation at participating Burger King locations.
In addition to this new burger, Burger King is introducing a new combo option that’s sure to excite. For a limited time, customers can upgrade their usual combo to include a premium side at no extra charge. That means you can enjoy Chicken Fries, Mozzarella Sticks, or Churro Fries along with your Whopper and drink for the same price as a regular combo meal.
This special combo upgrade is available for a limited time, so if you’re a fan of these new options, be sure to swing by your nearest Burger King before it’s too late. With the Steakhouse Bacon Whopper only available for a limited time as well, it’s the perfect opportunity to indulge in something new from the beloved fast food chain.
