WHO: Burger King, the home of the flame-grilled Whopper® sandwich.

WHAT: To celebrate the recently announced Million Dollar Whopper contest that allows Guests to submit their dream Whopper sandwich creation for a chance at a $1 million prize and see their creation sold in restaurants nationwide for a limited time, Burger King will host an immersive pop-up experience on the famed Santa Monica Pier for two days only.

Dubbed Million Dollar Whopper World, the pop-up will allow visitors the opportunity to top a flame-grilled all-beef or Impossible Whopper patty with an array of premium ingredients not available in restaurants – including candied jalapenos, pickled red onion, smashed avocado, caramelized onion, various cheeses, special sauces like chili crisp aioli and candied bacon jam, and more.

In addition to the culinary features, Million Dollar Whopper work will offer one-of-a-kind photo opportunities, interactive games, free prizes (while supplies last), music and special entertainment.
