It’s big (yet smaller), full of bacony and beefy goodness. It’s Wendy’s “Son of Baconator”, a smaller version (on everything except flavor!) of the popular ‘big’ baconator launched last year.
Two fresh beef patties, four strips of bacon, a buttered, toasted bun. Topped off with mayo, ketchup, and American cheese. 700 calories and 40 carbs, but lose the bun (would be a shame, but some of us must), and it weighs in at 490 calories and only 4 carbs).
As you probably know, Wendy’s has moved in to the #2 slot in the US burger hierarchy, and they deserve it, with their new offerings and innvovations.
I liked the burger, tho next time I will skip the ketchup, just not my thing.
Also got to try out the relatively new chili cheese fries, which tops W’s new natural cut fries (with sea salt) with their traditional meat chili and a gob of shredded cheese.
As far as I know, Wendy’s is the only national fast food chain offering this. Now if we could just persuade them to offer poutine, as well!
I liked the Son of Baconator, and I’ll have it again. The chili cheese fries? Big enough to share!
