Beef Chili-Topped Fries

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Whataburger is Serving Up All-New Chili Cheese Fries

— November 12, 2022 — Lifestyle
Hot on the heels of its new Chili Cheese Burger, Whataburger has begun serving all-new Chili Cheese Fries.

Last month, Whataburger debuted its new Chili Cheese Burger, which features beef chili spread over top of two real beef patties and two slices of American cheese. The burger has been a big hit and, since then, fans have been asking the chain to offer a similar twist on its fries. In response, Whataburger has introduced the new all-new Chili Cheese Fries, which start with crispy French fries layered with a generous serving of the brand's original-recipe beef chili and a topping of shredded cheddar jack cheese.

Whataburger even suggests pairing the new Chili Cheese Fries with the original Chili Cheese Burger for the ultimate chili experience.
