BURGER KING® is bringing their flame grilling expertise to the traditional Philly cheesesteak recipe. The brand created this innovation based on the classic recipe, using more than half pound* of flame-grilled 100% beef, caramelized onions and American Cheese.

Despite taste test approvals from Philadelphians, one restaurant in Philadelphia opted out of selling it completely to honor the traditional recipe. So, on October 25, the PHILLY CHEESE KING® will not be sold at the BK® restaurant located at 15 S 8th St, Philadelphia, PA 19106 until otherwise overturned by the BURGER KING® brand.

The PHILLY CHEESE KING® will be available at participating BURGER KING® restaurants for a limited time beginning October 25 at a recommended price of $5.99.

*Weight based on pre-cooked patties.
