Burger King introduces the new BBQ Brisket Whopper and BBQ Brisket Whopper Jr., the first innovation from its all-new “Whopper by You” platform, available nationwide starting July 15.

The BBQ Brisket Whopper features slow-cooked BBQ brisket, crispy onions, American cheese and a sweet & golden BBQ sauce, all piled on a ¼ lb.** flame-grilled beef patty with lettuce, tomato and creamy mayo. And, for the first time, BK is offering its new Whopper innovation as a Whopper Jr., with all the same mouthwatering ingredients for those seeking a smaller taste of BBQ goodness.

“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,” said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King US&C. “We’re excited to kick off the ‘Whopper by You’ platform with the BBQ Brisket Whopper, a flavor profile that our Guests requested and we are very excited to answer with an overwhelming ‘You Rule’!”

“Whopper by You” empowers Guests to help shape the menu at Burger King by submitting their dream Whopper creations. Whether it’s a spicy twist, a craveable remix, a cheese-loaded mashup or anything in between, all creative culinary dreams are encouraged and welcome. Plus, with your first “Whopper by You” creation, Guests can redeem*** a special Royal Perks offer assigned at random – ranging from $0.01 Whopper sandwich each week for a year to free hamburgers, cheeseburgers, or Whopper Jr. sandwiches with purchase, and more.
