Whopper

What is it?

Quarter-pound of flame-grilled beef anchors this burger, layered with sliced tomato, lettuce, mayo, pickles, and onion on a sesame seed bun. Burger King has kept the formula close to the original since 1957, and the basic structure still shows: char from the open flame, soft bun, cool vegetables, and a simple sauce layer. Among the chain's burgers, it's the reference point for the broader family, with the Double and Junior versions scaling the same build up or down. No cheese comes standard, which is one reason the cheeseburger variant exists as a separate menu item.
