Burger King bringing back popular Whopper on Feb. 24. See which one.
Amaris EncinasOne of Burger King's fan-favorite Whoppers is making a comeback on Feb. 24.
Weeks after the Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper hit menus on Jan. 6, another Whopper is going to get the chance to shine, at least for a limited time.
The Miami, Florida-based fast-food chain is "letting Guests call the shots, again" with the return of the Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper.
"Following the return of the Guest-inspired platform Whopper by You earlier this year, Burger King is bringing back (the) fan-demanded, limited-edition Whopper," Burger King said in a statement.
According to Burger King, "each bite delivers a sweet-smoky kick, bringing a bold, indulgent flavor fans asked to see on the menu."
Joining the Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper is the $4 Big Fish Sandwich, an alternative for Burger King customers avoiding meat for Lent, or who are "simply in the mood for a familiar classic." BK's Big Fish Sandwich will be available for purchase through April 2.
Here are some more details about the return of the Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper, including ingredients and nutritional information.
