It takes two hands and a cool drink to handle this Whopper

If you like it hot, you will love the latest special burger at Burger King, The Ghost Pepper Whopper.

Fast-food giant Burger King plans to spice up its signature Whopper ahead of Halloween, according to a popular food blogger.

If you like hot, you will love it

The ‘Ghost Pepper Whopper’ will be on the menu at select Oct. 13, for a limited time to bring the heat to those of us that like it hot, real hot.

The burger “features an orange bun, spicy queso, crispy jalapeños, bacon, ghost pepper cheese and a Whopper patty,” A Burger King spokesperson said on Instagram “I don’t know about y’all, but an orange bun seems like a damn good time.”

Orange buns and a red hot mouth

Can you handle the heat from the kitchen?

So hot you might see ghosts

Will I try it? Hmmm I suppose a small bite would be okay, but what if I can't handle the heat? Does it make me a wimp? I know one thing for sure, if it's too hot for me I won't be feeding it to my dog. That would be the first time she would turn down a hamburger.

BEST Burgers In New England

So, this Sunday is National Cheeseburger Day! But the best news is that we don't have to drive to Omaha to get the greatest burger ever. We enjoy each and every delicious bite right here. Conversely, as Jaybeau, Boston's future #1, 300, word blogger, we must ask: where are the best burgers in New England?

Mom and Pop Or Chain Restaurant?

There is no better way to enjoy life than by looking forward to hitting your favorite cheeseburger joint on the weekend. With this Sunday being national cheeseburger day, and the fact that I'm always looking for a cheeseburger, I did some digging and found New England's FAVORITE burgers. I'm not gonna lie. I LOVE getting a free burger on my birthday at Red Robin's.  

But of course, there are MANY wonderful locally owned burger joints, delivering cheeseburgers made with mom and pop love, waiting to be devoured by US.

When Was It Invented?

 According to Wikipedia: there are several competing claims as to who created the first cheeseburger. Lionel Sternberger is reputed to have introduced the cheeseburger in 1924. At 16, he was working as a fry cook at his father's Pasadena, California sandwich shop. He experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger." An early example of the cheeseburger appearing on a menu is a 1928 menu for the Los Angeles restaurant O'Dell's.  They listed a cheeseburger smothered with chili for 25 cents.

Other restaurants also claim to have invented the cheeseburger, like Kaelin's Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky.   They say they invented it in 1934.[11] One year later, a trademark for the name "cheeseburger" was awarded to Louis Ballast of the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver, Colorado.

So on behalf cheeseburger lovers through out the land, enjoy National Cheeseburger day Sunday! Alright then, let's take the ride and find the best burgers in N.E. Thanks to Bigseventravel.com.
