Burger King unveils new menu item in this country — and it's a cheeky nod at Americans
The fast-food chain is adding two brand-new variations of the beloved Whopper burger to its menu: the Barbecue Rodeo and the Classic Rodeo. 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. Burger King 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.

Burger King releases a Pickleball Burger in Japan
By Oona McGee, SoraNews24 Burger King is throwing its support behind pickleball this year by signing a sponsorship agreement with the Japan Pickleball Federation (PJF). Pickleball is a racket sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. The new sponsorship will be front and center at the PJF Pickleball Japan Open in Sasebo, Nagasaki, in June, and at the PJF Pickleball Japan League Burger King Cup in Tokyo's Ariake district in August, and to celebrate, the chain is releasing a special burger in honor of the occasion. Called the Pickleball Burger, this new offering is said to be a 'large, American-style rice burger', with three flame-grilled 100-percent beef patties boldly sandwiched between special rice patties that have been jointly developed with Hachidaime Gihey, a long-established rice shop in Kyoto. ▼ Hachidaime Gihey previously worked with Burger King to produce its limited-time Kyoto Whopper. Hachidaime Gihey's expertise in the selection, milling, blending, and cooking of rice led to the creation of the newly developed patty, which has been crafted from a combination of carefully selected white rice and a type of brown rice known as Kin-no-Ibuki. This combination is said to be the perfect partner for the beef patties, enhancing the flavor of the meat while showcasing the natural sweetness of rice. ▼ Each grain is distinct and has a smooth, pleasant texture. Given its name, the burger doesn't miss out on this opportunity to use pickles, stuffing 11 of them in between the meat and rice layers. With a stripped-back combination of just three essential ingredients — beef, rice and pickles — this burger allows the quality of each component to take centre court in every mouthful. Set to be released for a limited time from 30 May, the Pickleball Burger will be priced at 1,790 yen.
