Burger King unveils new menu item in this country — and it's a cheeky nod at Americans
Although these sandwiches sound like they would make a killing in Burger King locations throughout the US, they'll only be available in Japan restaurants for a limited time — at least for now, as originally reported on by the Street.
The new 'Wild West burgers' offer hungry consumers a twist on the quintessential BK Rodeo Burger, which consisted of a grilled beef patty, crunchy onion rings and smoky BBQ sauce.
These new menu items will be available only for a limited time in Japan.

The Rodeo Burger was once a US Burger King menu staple — but it was reportedly discontinued in 2022.
The Japan-only Barbecue Rodeo is made up of two beef patties, crispy onion rings, two slices of melted cheese, crunchy pickles, fresh lettuce and topped with a smoky dousing of Bull's Eye BBQ sauce.
For the traditionalist, the Classic Rodeo has all the fixings as its counterpart, except the BBQ sauce is swapped out for mustard and ketchup.
The burgers are now available in select restaurants in Japan — and it wasn't specified by the chain how long they'll be offered.
The Burger King Japan website and X (formerly Twitter) account announced the news of the yummy additions on June 5.
If you're in the US and your mouth is watering, you can order a similar version at your local Burger King by adding an extra patty, extra cheese, onion rings and barbecue sauce to a standard Whopper sandwich.
While it's nice to treat yourself once in a while to a fast-food meal, it's important to enjoy these treats in moderation.
As The Post previously reported, those watching their sodium levels should be wary of particular fast-food menu items.
While the Wild West burgers are not any healthier, according to Eat This, Not That, the unhealthiest menu item at the beloved fast-food chain is the Bacon King Burger.
This menu item is topped with six salty slices of bacon, two beef patties, cheese, ketchup and mayo.
And while Burger King's menu options might give you heart palpitations from its high fat and sodium — it's known as having one of the best cheap specialty burger options.
The restaurant chain often offers different deals to customers on its app — and it often mails out coupons. That's a win in today's economy.

In pictures: International Cowboys and Cowgirls Day in Kenya
Africa MusicFacebookTweetLink Follow While country music and cowboy culture are often associated with the US, what was billed as Africa's first ever International Cowboys and Cowgirls Day showed how popular the genre is becoming in Kenya. Held last Saturday at Nairobi's Ngong Racecourse, the event drew hundreds of fans dressed in boots, cowboy hats and denim. At the heart of the festivities was Sir Elvis, Kenya's beloved country music ambassador, whose performance was a major draw for both longtime fans and curious newcomers. Alongside the performances, attendees enjoyed mechanical bull rides, shopped for Western wear and took part in cowboy-themed games that brought a touch of the Wild West to Nairobi. The brainchild of Elijah Manyeki, who runs local clothing and events company Cowboys and Cowgirls, the event was a sign of country music's popularity in the country. The East African nation has a relationship with the genre stretching back to the 1920s and '30s. 'You can listen to country music in small bars around Nairobi, but not on this scale. It was amazing to see how many fans of the genre Kenya has,' said photographer Fredrik Lerneryd, who documented the event. Lerneryd described the atmosphere on the day as 'absolutely electric' and added that 'people really went all-in' on their attire. 'I hope I managed to capture the love, passion and joy the fans have for country music. It was all love,' he added. Leila Awuor, the organizer, told CNN that 'the event has strong potential to bring art and culture to a larger platform and with significant momentum,' adding she thinks it will likely become a regular fixture on Nairobi's social calendar.

Do Wall Street Analysts Like Paramount Global Stock?
New York-based Paramount Global (PARA) is a leading media, streaming, and entertainment company offering television, film production, and digital content across various global platforms. With a market cap of $8.8 billion, the company owns a diverse portfolio of entertainment brands and provides streaming services, including Paramount+, Pluto TV, BET+, and Noggin. Shares of this entertainment giant have underperformed the broader market over the past year. PARA has gained 16.5% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 17.1%. However, in 2025, PARA stock is up 24.7%, surpassing the SPX's 8.6% fall on a YTD basis. More News from Barchart Tesla Just Signed a Chip Supply Deal with Samsung. What Does That Mean for TSLA Stock? Dear Microsoft Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for Aug. 1 Is Lucid Motors Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for July 2025? Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Similarly, PARA has trailed the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLC), which has gained about 27.9% over the past year. However, PARA's double-digit returns on a YTD basis outshine the ETF's 10.6% rally over the same time frame. Paramount shares rose over 1% in pre-market trading on July 25, after receiving Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) approval for the company's merger with Skydance Media. This approval marks a significant step forward in the proposed deal, which aims to combine Paramount's extensive content library and global distribution network with Skydance's innovative production capabilities and strong track record in film and television. For fiscal 2025, ending in December, analysts expect PARA's EPS to decline 15.6% year over year to $1.30 on a diluted basis. The company's earnings surprise history is mixed. It beat the consensus estimate in three of the last four quarters, while missing the forecast on another occasion. Among the 23 analysts covering PARA stock, the consensus is a 'Moderate Sell.' That's based on two 'Strong Buy' ratings, 11 'Holds,' and 10 'Strong Sells.' This configuration is more bearish than three months ago, with three analysts suggesting a 'Strong Buy.' On Jul. 28, Seaport Global Securities downgraded Paramount Global from 'Neutral' to 'Sell,' setting a price target of $11 ahead of its August 7 merger with Skydance. The firm cautions that PARA shares may give back recent merger-driven gains after the deal closes. The company will begin trading under the new ticker PSKY post-merger. While PARA currently trades above its average mean price target of $11.67, its Street-high price target of $16 suggests an ambitious upside potential of 22.7%.
