Burger King has introduced a new premium burger to its menu, the Wagyu Burger, marking a significant addition to its offerings. This unique burger is now available in Burger King stores across the UK, providing customers with a gourmet experience at an affordable price point.
In comparison to Harrods’ £85 Wagyu burger, Burger King’s version offers a more budget-friendly alternative. Renowned chef Gordon Ramsay has expressed his support for the burger, acknowledging its potential as a top seller despite his own extravagant wagyu burger featuring Pecorino and shaved truffle.
Priced at £11, the Wagyu Burger promises a luxurious taste experience without breaking the bank. The burger, part of Burger King’s Gourmet King’s range, showcases global flavors with a nod to Japanese culinary traditions where Wagyu beef originates.
Crafted with 100% British wagyu beef, flame-grilled to perfection, and adorned with sweet caramelized onions, pink pickled onions, peppery rocket, crispy onions, and a creamy caramelized onion mayo, all enclosed in a soft seeded brioche bun, the burger offers a delectable combination of flavors and textures.
The presentation of the burger in a distinctive black box adds to its premium appeal, signaling a departure from traditional fast food offerings. Despite the absence of cheese, the rich and creamy taste of the beef, complemented by the toppings, creates a satisfying culinary experience.
While the burger may lack the distinct flame-grilled taste typical of Burger King patties, its overall flavor profile is impressive. Although priced at £11, which some may find steep for fast food, the Wagyu Burger provides a high-quality dining option compared to its much pricier competitors.
Customers are encouraged to indulge in this limited-time offering, with Gordon Ramsay praising the burger for its gourmet quality and accessibility. Burger King UK’s director of food development, Christian Binney, hails the Wagyu Burger as a premium innovation that reflects the brand’s commitment to delivering exceptional flavors to diners nationwide.
The Wagyu Burger is now available nationwide for a limited time, inviting customers to savor this extraordinary culinary creation.
