Burger King is offering the new Philly Cheese King burger for a limited time nationwide, but it won’t be on one Philadelphia restaurant’s menu, according to a CNBC report.

The Burger King franchise location that won’t be offering the Philly Cheese King is located on South 8th Street, and it doesn’t want to offer the burger so that it will honor the original recipe, according to the article. Philly cheesesteaks are an iconic symbol in that city.

The new menu item will sell for about $5.99 and uses more than half a pound of beef, according to the article.
