What is American cuisine? It’s a very long list.
Both farm-to-table and fast food leave room in the definition of American cuisine. What are the origins of authentic American cuisine?
One of Burger King’s fan-favorite Whoppers is returning on February 24th.
A few weeks after the Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper hit menus on January 6, another Whopper will get a chance to shine, at least for a limited time.
The Miami, Florida-based fast food chain is “giving guests the power to decide again” with the return of the Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper.
“Following the return of our guest-inspired Whopper by You platform earlier this year, Burger King is bringing back the limited-edition Whopper in response to fan demand,” Burger King said in a statement.
According to Burger King, “Every bite delivers a sweet, smoky kick, delivering the bold, decadent flavor fans have been hoping to see on the menu.”
The Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper is now joined by the $4 Big Fish Sandwich. This is an alternative for Burger King customers who are avoiding meat for Lent, or who “just want a familiar, classic feel.” BK’s Big Fish Sandwich is available until April 2nd.
