Building on the success of its popular Melts lineup, [Burger King](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-philly-royal-crispy-wrap) has just unveiled a new [Philly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philly-chicken-sandwich) Melt and a new Philly Royal Crispy Wrap.

Just as the name suggests, both of the new offerings play on the delicious taste of [Philly Cheesesteak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-cheesesteaks). First up is the Philly Melt, which features two juicy Whopper Jr. Patties, layered with two slices of Swiss cheese, fire-grilled peppers and onions, and Royal Sauce, all served on a pair of toasted bread rounds. On the other hand, the new Philly Royal Crispy Wrap pairs a Royal Crispy Fillet with fire-grilled peppers and onions, Swiss cheese, and Royal Sauce, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla.

Both the new Philly Melt and the new Philly Royal Crispy Wrap are available for a limited time.
