In 1954, in Miami, Florida, James McLamore and David Edgerton built the first Burger King Restaurant. By 1991 more than 6,400 Burger King outlets could be found in forty countries and all fifty states. That gives this burger giant more than $6 billion is sales each year, making it the country's second-largest fast food chain.
For many, the favorite item on the menu is a flame-broiled hamburger conceived by the partners on a business trip from Orlando to Miami in 1957. Dubbed the "Whopper," this sandwich is overwhelmingly popular; figures show that Burger King sells more than 540 million annually, or nearly 2 million each day. And with more than 1,023 different combinations of the eight ingredients, including a vegetarian version, you really can "have it your way."
Use my Burger King Whopper recipe below to assemble your own flame-broiled burger creation. Have it your way, or follow the stacking order listed below to duplicate the original.

Very good. I am a fan of the whopper (it is my favorite burger and the only fast food that I eat) and now that I have this recipe no need to go there anymore. We tried it yesterday and all the family love it so much that we ate it again tonight. It will be my hamburger recipe starting now and I can tell you that we will eat lots of them this summer :) Thanks

Made burgers for a party using this recipe, and I got nothing but raves and kudo's for job well done. Many guests even suggested that these were the burgers from BK. Convinced them otherwise as they watched me cook up more of them. Thanks Todd for a recipe as close as you can get to the original.
