Burger King, a fast food chain famous for its flame-grilled Whopper, is promoting the release of the live-action How to Train Your Dragon film with Universal Pictures featuring a new How to Train Your Dragon menu inspired by the franchise. Blending fiery flavor and fantasy, the limited-time menu reinterprets customer favorites with a blockbuster twist.
While Fiery Dragon Mozzarella Fries bring the heat with peppers and Fiery Calabrian chili pepper-breading, the Soaring Strawberry Lemonade delivers refreshment. The highlight of the menu is the Dragon Flame-Grilled Whopper, made with a 1/4 lb of flame-grilled beef served on a red-and-orange-marbled bun colored with natural spices and vegetables.
Exclusively in the BK app and on the web, Burger King is also launching Night Fury Flight, a game inspired by the new film.
