Avocado fans get excited because Burger King has been spotted serving up a new Avocado Bacon Whopper at select locations.
For those unfamiliar with Burger King's most iconic offering, the Whopper consists of a quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patty topped with tomatoes, lettuce, Whopper sauce (which is a creamy mayonnaise), ketchup, crunchy pickles, and white onions. The new Avocado Bacon Whopper puts a tasty twist on this classic burger by combining the same flame-grilled beef patty with avocado spread, crispy bacon strips, crunchy tortillas, American cheese, lettuce, sliced white onions, tomatoes, and a creamy spicy sauce, all served on a toasted sesame seed bun.
Unfortunately, the burger is not available nationwide, but select locations have been serving it up.
