The Super Bowl is only a month away and Burger King is helping football fans gear up for the big game with the launch of a new Game Day Pretzel Whopper and new Nacho Chicken Fries.
Set to be tested at select Burger King locations in the Columbus, Ohio area starting on January 9, 2025, both of the new dishes are great options for hungry football fans. The new Game Day Pretzel Whopper consists of a juicy quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patty topped with American cheese, crispy bacon, crispy onions, creamy nacho sauce, and crunchy pickles, all served on a SuperPretzel bun. The burger pairs perfectly with the new Nacho Chicken Fries, which consists of the brand's signature white meat chicken fries finished with a crunchy tortilla chip coating, all paired with some nacho cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
