Cheeky Competitor-Inspired Burgers

Wayback Burgers Just Launched 'The Big Way' Burger

— March 5, 2022 — Lifestyle
Wayback Burgers is one of the fast growing burger chains in the U.S., and the brand is celebrating that success with the launch of 'The Big Way' burger.

The Big Way burger is a cheeky take on another fast food chain's iconic burger. Or as Wayback Burgers puts it, "a mouthwatering remake of a mediocre burger made by the biggest clown in the business." To recreate this famous burger, Wayback Burgers has put together two 100-percent all-beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and Thousand Island dressing on a toasted bun. Though this may sound like a simple combination, Wayback Burgers guarantees that your taste buds will know that this is a superior burger.

The Big Way is available from participating Wayback Burgers locations for just a limited time from March 7 to May 30.
