"Chicago Bulls fans of the 1990s won't soon forget the team's golden age of basketball - or the burger that fuelled the folks watching at home. McDonald's has released some pretty iconic collabs over the years, as well as some discontinued menu items that don't need to come out of retirement any time soon (so long, McSpaghetti). But, arguably, the Beef Wennington burger is one '90s fast-food item that deserves a comeback. The Beef Wennington was a limited-time promotional menu item named in honor of Chicago Bulls center, Bill Wennington. The burger, which debuted in 1998, comprised a beef patty topped with onions, cheese, barbecue sauce, and Canadian bacon - a nod to Wennington's birthplace of Montreal."
"Bill Wennington played for the Bulls from 1993 to 1999, serving as the team's seven-foot-tall center on what is widely considered one of the best teams in NBA history. The '90s Bulls assembled such on-court superpowers as Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Toni Kukoč, and Steve Kerr - the team lineup that's followed in the heralded docuseries, "The Last Dance" (2020). McDonald's also released a collab with fellow Bull Michael Jordan (we miss you, the McJordan Special, also available in Mickey D's locations around the Chicago area in the '90s)."
McDonald's introduced the Beef Wennington in 1998 as a limited-time promotional sandwich honoring Chicago Bulls center Bill Wennington. The sandwich combined a beef patty with onions, cheese, barbecue sauce, and Canadian bacon as a nod to Wennington's Montreal roots, and it packed double meat. Wennington played for the Bulls from 1993 to 1999 as the team's seven-foot-tall center during the franchise's 1990s dynasty. The Bulls roster included Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Toni Kukoč, and Steve Kerr. A local WGN promo announced the sandwich on March 23, 1998.
