"It&amp;#039;s official: Burger King is going the way of barbecue king. Well, at least for the summer. Today, the fast-food chain announced the introduction of its new Southern-inspired line-up for restaurants nationwide. For months, rumors have been swirling that BK was testing a bacon sundae in Nashville to go head-to-head with Jack-in-the-Box&amp;#039;s milkshake. Today&amp;#039;s press release confirms the speculation. The after-Whopper-dessert has soft serve vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate fudge and caramel, then sprinkled with bacon crumbles, and rounded out with but a big &amp;#039;ole &amp;quot;thick-cut, hardwood smoked bacon&amp;quot; strip. You may as well forgo the utensil and just spoon that sweet and salty goodness from the bacon strip itself.

There are definitely those who prefer sweet potato fries to the traditional potato fries. Now BK will offer orders of sweet potato fries starting at $1.89 per order.   Should you desire a burger with your sundae and fries, Burger King has also launched two new options: The Texas-style Whopper with American cheese, jalape\u00F1o, red onion, tomato, lettuce, and Bull&amp;#039;s-Eye BBQ sauce or the Carolina BBQ Whopper, which has Pepper Jack cheese, Carolina-style BBQ sauce, and bacon.
