The Whopper (double) is a flagship burger from the American fast-food chain Burger King, featuring two flame-grilled beef patties. It is typically assembled with sesame seed buns, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions, and is often customized with cheese and bacon.
This burger is a calorie-dense meal, generally falling in the range of 900 to 1,100 calories per serving, making it high in both fat and protein. It provides significant amounts of sodium and saturated fat, alongside a substantial protein intake from the dual beef patties.
The Whopper is culturally significant as the signature rival to the McDonald's Big Mac, representing the classic 'burger wars' of American fast food. Its flame-grilled preparation method is a unique selling point that distinguishes it from the flat-top griddle cooking used by many competitors.
