Burger King Packs In The Protein With New BBQ Bacon King Sandwich

Burger King’s been on a roll lately, dishing out ridiculous menu items such as Cheetos Mac & Cheese Fries, and Whopperitos, but their latest reveal isn’t quite as off the wall.

It’s called the BBQ Bacon King, and it comes with two quarter pound beef patties (So, I guess it totals a half pound?),  thick cut smoked bacon, American cheese, BBQ sauce and mayo, all inside a sesame seed bun.

Yeah, it looks like any western-style burger. It’s a little less drama than we’ve come to expect from Burger King, but it’s just a bit of a remix from their original Bacon King sandwich.

For the health-conscious folks who count macros and such, if you wanted a piece of this beast, you’d be getting 57 grams of protein, 51 grams of carbs, 75 grams of fat, and 1100 calories. Probably the scariest nutritional fact is the 3 grams of trans fat. Proceed with caution.

Knowing Burger King, their next evolution of this burger will probably be a Sriracha version, or they’ll cover the bacon in Cheeto dust.
