Burger King’s new BBQ Brisket Whopper could be very tasty. Nevertheless, it’s not due to the tender, slow-cooked beef brisket that’s in it. Whereas its addition makes the burger intriguing and heavier, that’s all it appears to do. However I’m getting forward of myself.
The latest restricted time providing contains a quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patty topped with beef brisket, American cheese, crispy onions, tomato, mayo, pickles, and a candy and golden BBQ sauce. I believed the addition of the brisket would make this Whopper considerably pricier than latest restricted time Whoppers, but it surely was roughly the identical value, give or take a dime or two.
As a result of there wasn’t a big value distinction, I wasn’t overly upset concerning the brisket being there, however on the similar time, not being there. You see, I’m unsure if the additional meat enhances the burger’s taste, nor does it stand out. I do know there was some brisket on my burger as a result of it’s arduous to overlook the moist cat hair-looking blob, but it surely doesn’t add something. As an alternative, I tasted loads of the acquainted Whopper flavors — the flame grilled patty, cheese, tomato, and pickles.
The barbecue sauce appears to do many of the heavy lifting to convey BBQ brisket to thoughts fairly than the precise meat. I largely style a Whopper with a distinct barbecue sauce than earlier BBQ Whoppers, however that tangy, candy, and smoky condiment makes this price attempting. A lot in order that I most likely would have loved this even with out the brisket. But it surely’s not simply the sauce that makes this style nice; the tomato’s acidity, the pickle’s bitter kick, and the American cheese all complement the barbecue sauce.
One other ingredient that will get misplaced is the crispy onions. They may not have been the only option to incorporate as a result of the BBQ sauce made them sauce-logged, so there was no crispiness. Additionally, very similar to the brisket, their taste isn’t noticeable. As an alternative, I wanted it got here with BK’s onion rings, which might have helped with the feel and style.
I must also notice that Burger King is providing a Whopper Jr. model of this, marking the primary time the chain has rolled out a restricted time Whopper in a smaller and extra inexpensive measurement.
I don’t remorse attempting Burger King’s BBQ Brisket Whopper, however should you’re going into this considering brisket, you’re going to be as brisk-appointed as a lot as you’re upset with me for utilizing the phrase “brisk-appointed.”
