[Whataburger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-wrangler-double) is offering steakhouse flavors on a burger budget with its new Bacon [Steakhouse Double burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-steakhouse-burger).

Inspired by the rich, elevated flavors of a steakhouse, Whataburger's new Bacon Steakhouse Double burger is crafted with extra care. The new burger starts with two 100% all-beef patties layered with two slices of melted aged cheddar, all paired with smoky bacon, crispy fried onions, and a tangy steak sauce, all served on a perfectly toasted bun. The result is a savory creation that perfectly balances all the classic burger elements.

As if the debut of the new Bacon Steakhouse Double burger weren't exciting enough, Whataburger is sweetening the deal by announcing that it will also be keeping its overwhelmingly popular [WhataWings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whataburger-bigger-better-bundles) on the menu through the end of the year.
