Now Burger King guests cannot only have it their way, they can have it the way Fabian, Kelsie and Calvin created it as well.

Last week Burger King announced the three finalists in its first Million Dollar Whopper contest, which launched in May. Customers were invited to submit their ingredients for their own Whopper, with the winner receiving a $1 million prize.

The chain reviewed over one million submissions to select the three finalists. The top three are: the Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper, created by Fabian of California, which contains a beef patty topped with pickle ranch, lettuce, fried pickles, bacon, and Swiss cheese; the Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper, created by Calvin of California, with a beef patty, topped with maple bourbon BBQ sauce, crispy onions & jalapeños, maple bacon seasoning, bacon and American cheese; and lastly, the Mexican Street Corn Whopper (created by Kelsie of Nebraska) consisting of a beef patty topped with street corn spread, lettuce, tomato, Southwest seasoned tortilla crisps and Mexican spicy queso.

"The Million Dollar Whopper Contest was all about taking "Have It Your Way" to the next level, and we were blown away by the thought and creativity that went into the Whopper creations that were submitted," said Pat O'Toole, CMO, Burger King North America in the release.

Customers can try the three new limited time Whoppers beginning in mid-November, with a chance to vote for their favorite to receive the $1 million prize. Burger King is promoting the finalists on its social media platforms. The chain said more details on selecting a winner will be released closer to voting.
