Anyone have any idea on when they're planning on rolling it out to grocery stores?
ETA: Or where I could buy it now?

If you're in CLE I can possibly get you some from a friend.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Maybe, but I'm not there, so it's a toss up.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

 interesting quote from the NYT article:
Burger King’s chief marketing officer, Fernando Machado, said that in the company’s testing so far, customers and even employees had not been able to tell the difference between the old meaty Whopper and the new one.

“People on my team who know the Whopper inside and out, they try it and they struggle to differentiate which one is which,” Mr. Machado said.

I've only had it at milchig restaurants who have no idea how to make a good burger.

Also may just be an indictment on the Whopper. @Dan seems to have some insight there.......

All fast food burgers are barely in the category of meat as it is.
