If you're a fan of a classic chip butty, you'll want to try Burger King Japan's new Guilty Porcini Burgers.
For those unfamiliar, a chip butty is a classic British dish that essentially consists of a buttered roll with French fries stuffed in the middle. Now, Burger King Japan is offering a more elevated take on this combination with its new Guilty Porcini Burgers. The new burgers come in two varieties – the Beef Guilty Porcini Burger and the Chicken Guilty Porcini Burger – which means you can choose between a flame-grilled beef patty or a fried chicken patty. Your protein of choice is then paired with a gourmet creamy mushroom sauce made with 5 different types of mushrooms, mayo, and a generous portion of French fries. Naturally, this rich combination of ingredients is all sandwiched between a pair of premium butter-soaked artisan buns.
The new Guilty Porcini Burgers are available now from Burger King's Japanese locations.
