Whataburger may be best known for its burgers, but this season you can swing on by for something a little lighter with the launch of the brand's new BLT sandwich.
As most people are familiar, a BLT is a no-frills sandwich recipe that consists of bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Whataburger has managed to elevate this signature recipe with its own BLT, which features crispy bacon strips, fresh-cut lettuce and sliced tomatoes, all slathered with the brand’s own mayonnaise and served between two slices of supersized Texas Toast.
The new BLT sandwich can be enjoyed a la carte, or as part of a Whatameal combo, which comes with a medium order of fries and a medium drink.
