Get to know these innovative Whopper creations and decide for yourself which one deserves the title of the ultimate fan-made Whopper.
Burger King Unveils the Finalists of Its Million Dollar Whopper Contest

In February, Burger King kicked off its inaugural Million Dollar Whopper Contest, inviting fans from across the U.S. to dream up their ultimate Whopper creation. The challenge? Submit the most mouthwatering ingredient combinations for a chance to win a $1 million prize and have their custom sandwich featured in restaurants nationwide for a limited time.
After receiving and reviewing over one million imaginative entries, Burger King’s team of flame-grilling experts has narrowed down the competition to three exceptional finalists. These fan-crafted Whopper sandwiches, which will be available later this fall at participating locations across the country, while supplies last, are as follows:
Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper (Created by Fabian of California)

Craving a flavor explosion? Burger King’s new Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper delivers. Sink your teeth into a juicy, flame-grilled ¼-pound beef patty topped with tangy pickle ranch, crisp lettuce, crunchy fried pickles, savory bacon, and melty Swiss cheese. All served on a toasted sesame seed bun.
Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper (Created by Calvin of California)

Indulge in a sweet and savory sensation with Burger King’s new Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper. This flavor-packed creation features a juicy, flame-grilled ¼-pound beef patty topped with a rich maple bourbon BBQ sauce, crispy onions and jalapeños for a spicy kick, and a sprinkle of maple bacon seasoning. Plus, enjoy the classic combination of bacon and American cheese on a toasted sesame seed bun.
Mexican Street Corn Whopper (Created by Kelsie of Nebraska)

Get a taste of Mexico with Burger King’s Mexican Street Corn Whopper. This flavorful burger features a juicy, flame-grilled ¼-pound beef patty topped with a creamy street corn spread, fresh lettuce and tomato, and crunchy Southwest seasoned tortilla crisps. Finish it off with a drizzle of Mexican spicy queso for a fiery kick. All served on a toasted sesame seed bun.
“The Million Dollar Whopper Contest was all about taking ‘Have It Your Way’ to the next level, and we were blown away by the thought and creativity that went into the Whopper creations that were submitted,” said Pat O’Toole, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King North America, in a press release announcing the finalists of the contest. “Selecting just three finalists was no easy task, but we’re confident Guests will love these creative delicious takes on the iconic Whopper sandwich, and can’t wait for them to be available in restaurants this fall.”
Will There Be a Fan Voting for the Million Dollar Whopper Contest?
While nothing has officially been announced yet, it looks like Burger King is gearing up for a nationwide fan vote to determine the winner of its Million Dollar Whopper Contest. The press release noted that additional details regarding the availability of the three Million Dollar Whopper sandwiches and how customers can help crown the winner will be available in mid-November. However, KTLA 5 reported that guests will have the chance to cast their vote for their favorite fan-made Whopper, and the finalist with the most votes will not only win the hearts of fans but also secure its creator a cool million dollars.
