A few of your stomachs is perhaps pondering, “Hey! Didn’t I lately digest a Burger King Final Steakhouse Whopper?” Additionally, I think about a few of your intestines are questioning the identical factor.
Nicely, digestive tracts, what you’re pondering of just isn’t the Final Steakhouse Whopper. As a substitute, what you keep in mind is final yr’s Steakhouse Bacon Whopper, which had a flame-grilled beef patty topped with bacon, two tomato slices, lettuce, Swiss cheese, crispy onions, A.1. Sauce, and a creamy peppercorn aioli between a sesame seed bun.
This Final Steakhouse Whopper doesn’t characteristic the entire substances listed above, plus a couple of extra to make it the “final.” As a substitute, it swaps the greens with onion rings and sauteed mushrooms, and leaves the A.1. Sauce off. However the bacon, Swiss, and peppercorn aioli are nonetheless there. Perhaps this could’ve been named Steakhouse Bacon Whopper 2?
In my evaluation of the Steakhouse Bacon Whopper, I questioned whether or not the peppercorn aioli might carry all the burger’s taste, because the addition of A.1. Sauce made every thing style barbecue-y. Nicely, it seems that whereas final yr’s model had a “Western” barbecue taste, the Final Steakhouse Whopper tastes like one other burger selection — mushroom & Swiss.
Wanting again at my earlier critiques of Burger King menu gadgets that includes mushrooms, their flavors ranged from an excessive amount of to non-existent. With this Whopper, the ‘shrooms make themselves recognized simply the correct quantity, with the peppercorn aioli enhancing the savoriness of the ‘shrooms and Swiss and including a light pepperiness. The sauce creates a noticeable distinction from different mushroom & Swiss burgers. So I suppose I lastly obtained my reply in regards to the peppercorn aioli. It may well carry a whole burger.
What didn’t do any heavy lifting have been the onion rings and bacon. Whereas I used to be excited in regards to the addition of onion rings, they didn’t carry a lot style, regardless of having six and a half rings in my order. As a substitute, they offered a little bit of crunch and texture to distinction with the principally gentle substances, particularly the squishy mushrooms. I’m additionally stunned the bacon didn’t carry its normal salty, smoky, and porky attributes, regardless of a sheet of it in my burger.
The shortage of taste from the onion rings and bacon is a disgrace, as a result of I believe they might’ve helped distance this burger even farther from a principally mushroom-and-Swiss-tasting providing than the peppercorn aioli. Whereas it isn’t in the end distinctive, it’s nonetheless a tasty menu merchandise. Nevertheless, the $13.99 I paid, which is greater than a lot of you’ll pay, makes my abdomen ache.
