Whataburger has unveiled its latest menu innovation: the 'Bacon Wrangler Double,' a bold, Texas-inspired creation that pays tribute to the rugged spirit of the American West. Designed to satisfy big appetites and even bigger flavor cravings, this new burger exemplifies the brand’s commitment to hearty, full-flavored offerings.
Launching on August 5, the Bacon Wrangler Double brings together a carefully crafted combination of ingredients. It features "two fresh, 100% American beef patties, layered with Monterey Jack and American cheeses, crispy bacon, tangy pickles, crispy onion strings, and a smoky chipotle aioli—all nestled between toasted artisan buns."
Each component contributes to a rich, balanced flavor profile, blending smokiness, spice, and savory depth. Inspired by the legendary wranglers who helped shape Texas history, the burger captures the bold essence of the Lone Star State. With its generous portions and Southwestern flair, the Bacon Wrangler Double offers a satisfying, distinctly regional dining experience.
