About Burger King

Burger King at Portugieser Straße 2b in Leobersdorf is one of two branches of the chain in the Baden district; the second is in Tribuswinkel. Since it was founded in Miami in 1954, Burger King has relied on the flame grill. „Feuer & Flamme seit 1954“ (fire and flame since 1954) is still written on its own website today.

The Whopper and its relatives

The flagship is the Whopper. It was invented in 1957 by the two company founders James McLamore and David Edgerton. The sesame bun holds a beef patty of around 113 grams grilled over an open flame, tomato, lettuce, onions, pickles, mayonnaise and ketchup. According to the chain's rules, it is only assembled after you order.

The chain offers it in several sizes and variations:

• With more meat: Double Whopper with two patties
• With cheese: Whopper Cheese
• Smaller: Whopper Jr.
• Without beef: the Plant-based Whopper with a soy-based patty. It goes on the same grill as the meat and is therefore not strictly vegetarian.

The classics also include the Cheeseburger, Chicken Burger, King Nuggets and King Pommes. The chain accepts special requests according to its own guidelines, such as a burger without onions.
