This was hot off the grill , very tasty

I thought it was AI for a second....

So first time trying to "NEW" whopper was a bust got a cold burger that I couldn't even finish. But from what I could tell no real difference from the old whopper.

Today order it the same way... no tomato no onion light mayo cut in half off the broiler but this time i went inside instead of DT.

Watching her make my sandwich and not drop fresh meat and just pull a patty out of the PHU was annoying but I politely mentioned it to the cashier and her pointed out to her that it was supposed to be off the broiler and we were back on track.

End result burger was hot and fresh cheese was melted and it still tasted the exact same as an old whopper 😆🤣...(keep in mind i have never had an issue with whoppers as long as they were fresh) only real difference she added salt to the sandwich i saw her do it which honestly was an improvement to the taste...

So i guess my only real question is salting the patty part of the newness or is that just something at this location...

It's been a while.. And this hit the spot! Yum!

It’s going to be a teriyaki sauce.

I decided to load it up this Whopper Wednesday.

Plus onion rings, plus mustard, plus bacon, plus American, plus Swiss, plus BBQ, X lettuce.

Ketchup, mayo and onions as usual.

Minus pickles and minus tomatoes. I just don't like them, wish I did. Sorry, not sorry.

Would have added a patty but it wasn't allowed. Come on BK...

They finally didn't skimp me on the lettuce, but I had to pay.

It was a nice experiment, but I'm going back to cheeseless, add mustard next week.

But it sure is pretty!

Oh, this is how it came out of the box. I picked her up and she spread wide open for me.

I've been seeing a lot of posts about Whopper Wednesday lately. I worked at Burger King for 7 years in the 90's. I figured I'd post some pictures I took of our menu board back then. Image getting a 99¢ Whopper every day!

Edit: From what I can remember, the Whopper wasn't supposed to be a part of the $.99 menu which is why it didn't have a red background. But our store added it to compete with a larger franchise in the area.

I recreated as close as I could, and as close and I could remember the taste of, the angry whopper! Here's the recipe for the angry sauce and the sandwich prep:

Order one whopper, add an extra serving size of bacon, add reg serving of jalapenos, and add onion rings. Delete the onion, pickle, and ketchup.

I bought a bottle of Guy Fieri Top Secret sauce and a bottle of Panda Express sweet chili sauce from Walmart. You'll also need to get brown sugar, cayenne pepper powder, and slices of pepper jack cheese.

In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the Top Secret sauce with 1/2 cup of the Sweet chili sauce. Mix well. Then add to that 1 and a half tablespoons of the brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the cayenne pepper powder. Whisk all of that together in a bowl for a min or so. Whisk it very well. My brown sugar was kind of clumpy coming out of the bag so I mashed it well to break it up before I started whisking the whole thing. Just a note in case anyone else runs into that.

Then place that bowl in the fridge for about 10-15 mins to chill it.

Before adding the sauce, I took the patty off of the whopper and put a slice of pepper jack cheese on it, then put the cheese and patty under the broiler just to get the cheese warmed up and slightly melted. Then add the angry sauce mixture to the top of the cheese, and reassemble the whole burger.

And enjoy! I thought it was really good. Very close to the OG angry sauce from what I remember in terms of the orange appearance, and the bit of heat and savoriness. Very nostalgic for me.

As a side note, you could do fried onion pieces like the original angry whopper had, but honestly adding their onion rings to the whopper made it feel close enough for me

They stopped Whopper Wednesday where I live!!! 😭 💔
