Burger King has been running its Whopper By You platform for a while now—a system where customers submit burger ideas and occasionally see them actually make it onto the menu. The BBQ Brisket Whopper came out of it. So did the Crispy Onion Whopper.
The latest is the Peppercorn BLT Whopper, reportedly hitting participating locations on March 30.
This creation’s build is pretty straightforward. What you get is a quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patty, peppercorn mayo (also described as creamy peppercorn aioli in some reports), crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese all placed on BK’s recently updated toasted sesame seed bun, which the chain switched to not long ago to go for that extra premium feel.
A Peppercorn BLT Whopper Jr. version is also rumored to be launching alongside the full-size burger.
The new burger is replacing the Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper, another fan creation from the Whopper By You platform that featured onion rings, bacon, sautéed mushrooms, creamy peppercorn aioli, and Swiss cheese. It is still available until March 30 for anyone who wants to get a last order in.
Burger King is also relaunching its Watermelon Lemonade for a limited time with warmer weather on the way.
The Peppercorn BLT is a limited run, too, in keeping with how Whopper By You releases tend to go. The platform is still open for submissions, so the item will likely get cycled out when the next customer creation is ready to take center stage.
