Whataburger’s Bacon Wrangler Double Is a Texas-Sized Bite Worth Wrangling
If it’s bold, beefy, and built with Texas in mind, it probably came from Whataburger. And their latest menu item — the Bacon Wrangler Double — is proof that this iconic fast-food chain still knows how to bring the heat after 75 years in the game.
As a longtime admirer of Whataburger’s devotion to Lone Star flavor, I couldn’t resist grabbing a Bacon Wrangler the moment it dropped. Let me just say: this thing isn’t a burger, it’s a full-on showdown between smoke, spice, and serious satisfaction.
A Burger That Screams Texas (In All the Right Ways)
The Bacon Wrangler Double is a limited-time burger stacked between two toasted buns, loaded with:
- Two 100% American beef patties
- Crisp bacon strips
- Monterey Jack and American cheeses
- Pickles
- Crispy onion strings
- A generous slather of chipotle aioli
The moment you unwrap it, the aroma of smoky chipotle and sizzling bacon hits you like a summer breeze off the Hill Country. The beef patties are exactly what you’d expect from Whataburger — thick, juicy, and unapologetically Texas-sized.
What Makes the Bacon Wrangler Special?
Plenty of burgers load on toppings, but the Wrangler is more than just a pile-on. Each layer serves a clear purpose:
- Bacon and cheese: A rich, savory one-two punch.
- Onion strings: Add crunch and a hint of sweet-savory depth.
- Chipotle aioli: Here’s the real secret weapon — a smoky, tangy kick that keeps your palate wanting another bite.
This isn’t just Texas barbecue flavor in burger form — it’s a celebration of everything Whataburger stands for: big flavor, warm hospitality, and a flair for making fast food feel anything but ordinary.
A Taste That Feels Like Home
Even Whataburger’s leadership is proudly backing this new creation. CEO Debbie Stroud called the Bacon Wrangler “a delicious reminder that you can always experience a little bit of that [Texas] spirit with every bite.”
It’s clear they’re not just serving food — they’re telling a story of heritage and comfort through every burger.
A Bite Worth the Buzz: My Experience
When I bit into the Bacon Wrangler Double, I wasn’t just getting dinner — I was getting nostalgia wrapped in bacon. It reminded me of late-night drives through Austin, road trips across the panhandle, and those classic orange-and-white roofs glowing in the dark.
And that chipotle aioli? I don’t say this lightly — it could give even a barbecue pitmaster’s sauce a run for its money. Smoky, creamy, and perfectly balanced.
Would I order it again? Without hesitation. I already have, twice.
Limited Time, Unlimited Flavor
The Bacon Wrangler Double is available now for a limited time, and if history is any clue, it won’t stay on the menu forever. Whataburger fans should act fast before this Texas-approved masterpiece gallops off into the sunset.
Whether you’re a longtime Whataburger loyalist or new to the orange-and-white way of life, this is one burger you won’t want to miss.
