The latest food mashup has us hungry.
Burger King is launching a burger burrito item called the Whopperrito nationally on Aug. 15, according to a news release.
The Whopperrito is made with many of the same ingredients as the classic Whopper burger, but with queso sauce replacing mayonnaise and a flour tortilla replacing the bun.
