Whataburger Reveals 4 Limited-Time Only Sandwiches
Whataburger chain has announced that starting today, October 10th, at 3 p.m., four sandwiches that had once appeared on their menu in a limited-time fashion will be appearing all at once. The menu will be four sandwiches heavier, including the The Whataburger Patty Melt, The Chop House Cheddar Burger, The Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich, and the A.1.® Thick & Hearty Burger®.
Here’s a breakdown of the four items:
A.1.® Thick & Hearty Burger®
The news couldn’t be better for fans of the A.1. Thick & Hearty. Retired in 2009, fans have never stopped campaigning for its return. The burger, first introduced in 1998, features two fresh, never-frozen, 100 percent American beef patties, topped with bacon, cheese, grilled onions, and of course A.1. Thick & Hearty Steak Sauce, served on Whataburger’s signature five-inch bun. It boasts its own fan club, Facebook page and support group. One Facebook fan described the burger’s retirement as “the end of the world.”
Whataburger Patty Melt
So popular that is has its very own Facebook page, the Patty Melt was first introduced as a limited-time menu item in July 2008. Its crowd-pleasing status is evident on the customer-created Facebook page, which includes comments such as, “If I were stranded on a desert island, and could have only one food, it would be you.”The Patty Melt is made with two fresh, never-frozen American beef patties, two slices of Monterey Jack cheese, grilled onions, and Whataburger’s famous Creamy Pepper Sauce, served between two thick slices of signature Texas Toast.
Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich
The Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich, first introduced in 2003, is “given to us by the fast food gods,” according to Kimmie T. on Yelp. Featuring three crispy chicken strips and two slices of Monterey Jack cheese, customers can choose to have the sandwich on Whataburger’s classic 5-inch bun or bold Texas Toast.
The real reason for the cravings, though, is the Honey BBQ Sauce. “It’s classic, it’s tangy, it’s sweet,” notes a Whataburger team member in the upcoming ad about the sandwich. A customer confirms the sentiment, noting: “I love the sauce, you can’t find it anywhere else.”
Chop House Cheddar Burger
The newest kid on the block is the Chop House Cheddar Burger. Introduced in 2009, it’s made with two 100 percent fresh, never-frozen, American beef patties grilled to perfection, topped with grilled onions, melted shredded cheddar cheese, two slices of crispy bacon and creamy steak sauce on a fresh, toasted five-inch bun.
