Burger King's signature quarter-pound flame-grilled burger with tomato, lettuce, mayo, ketchup, pickles and onion on a sesame bun.
The Whopper is the burger Burger King is built around. It has been on the menu since 1957: a quarter pound of flame-grilled beef (weight before cooking) topped with sliced tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles and white onions on a toasted sesame seed bun. Flame-grilling on a broiler, rather than frying on a flat griddle, is what gives it the smoky, backyard-grill taste.
At a typical Burger King the Whopper costs about $6.29. In the 48 restaurants we checked it ranged from $5.39 to $9.19, because franchisees set their own prices. As a medium meal with fries and a soft drink it costs about $11.19. It has 710 calories, 42 g of fat, 57 g of carbohydrates, 34 g of protein and 1,250 mg of sodium.
