hey guys it's Ian K for peep this out back again with another one for ya this time
returning to BK to take a look at a pretty significant upgrade to one of the
most iconic burgers ever now I think it's safe to say that most of the fast
food chains never really mess with their iconic flagship burgers only
because they've been around for so many years and people are very familiar with
the taste so I guess that you wouldn't want to mess with a good thing
especially when people are familiar with it and it's been around for so many
years once in a while though you do get some curveballs thrown your way I mean
McDonald's did recently upgrade their quote-unquote Big Mac to Grand Mac status
and that was actually pretty cool and now we've got a little bit of a makeover
coming our way in the form of what I'm calling the new whopper from BK because
for the first time ever the whopper is getting two major changes to its recipe
that have never been done before so let's see what those two new changes
are before we take a bite to see exactly how the flavor is going to be on a guys
but like always we got to get right up on it first that I closer look let's
peep this out
it's an upgrade for an icon as the classic whopper gets two big changes to
its overall recipe for the first time ever and the thing with this is you
probably wouldn't even know about it unless you took a bite so let's pop the
top and see what we've got going all the goodies underneath the seeded bun from
the whopper are going to be the same but let's start from the very bottom and
work our way backwards here because the real star of the show is going to be
what's peeking out right there so now that we got it flipped over let's take a
look at the star of the show guys the meat patty itself and if you take a
closer look at it here you're going to notice it is no longer perfectly round
it's a little bit more of a homestyle patty so it may closely resemble a backyard barbecue
type of burger but it is definitely no longer round for sure and aside from
that it's actually seasoned for the first time with salt and pepper it's
something Burger King has never done so the iconic taste for the whopper that
you've all known for so many years is going to be upgraded slightly in the
flavor department I'm thinking aside from the patty itself looking maybe just
a little bit thicker but I think it's pretty much just the quarter pound patty
still maybe just a little bit more but overall it is the appearance of it for
sure that is different aside from that salt and pepper seasoning underneath the
meat patty it's going to be business as usual guys so from my case here no mayo
no tomato but plenty of the pickles onions lettuce
you've got ketchup on there as well but the meat patty itself a little bit more
homestyle like I said is the main thing it's the first time they've tried
something like this in addition to the salt and pepper seasoning so not too bad
so there you go the appearance is subtle but it's all in the flavor guys it's the
upgraded whopper here at BK let's peep out the flavor you have to change to the
look of the beef patty is subtle but it's definitely no longer that perfectly
round meat patty that we already know so it's all going to come down to the
flavor here we go with it it's the new whopper here at BK
hmm well first off I'm instantly getting all the familiar flavors that I know
from BK's whopper already here but there's something else going on hang on
a second
I want to say it's got just a little bit more seasoning to it there just have a
little bit more of a pop to it but it's still the classic whopper but like the
appearance of the patty its subtle but just enough to be a little different now
from what I'm told they're not going to be advertising this too much in terms of
what the changes to the whopper are at the moment here so I think subtlety is
going to be the word of the day guys because it really is pretty much the
same whopper with just a little bit extra in the flavor department and again
you don't want to mess with a classic and that's what the whopper is but what
you're getting here is a pretty flavorful burger that you already know
from BK with just a little bit extra in the flavor department for the meat so
it's not too bad now if you like the whopper and obviously a lot of people do I
think you know what to expect from this one guys it's very similar to what you
already know with maybe a little extra salt and pepper on the beef patty itself
and the slight appearance change is decent but it's still a whopper through
and through and that's not necessarily a bad thing because the idea is to improve
upon a classic so if you make a slight adjustment to the overall recipe I'm all
for it as long as the taste is primarily the same and the preparation is a little
bit different because of the way the patty is but that's just my $.02
what do you guys personally think drop those comments down below let me know if
you're going to be having the whopper anytime soon because this change is
slowly trickling out right now and they're not going to be advertising this
one here so let me know what you think because personally for me with a name
like whopper I would have loved to have seen just a super thick patty to really
do that whopper named justice but as it is it's still a very very large burger
and still pretty tasty so let me know what you think down below I'm very
curious to hear your thoughts on this one and as for the overall score in this
new offer from BK it's going to finish out with a solid
8 out of 10
it's still a significant upgrade because BK has never messed with the seasoning in
the beef patty itself let alone the shape of it so it's definitely a first
for them in that category but it's still a whopper through and through and like I
said that is not a bad thing and those are my thoughts on this one as we close
out another episode of peep this out guys and like I always say new content can be
found on my channel every single week so while you stay tuned for the next review
