I opened the burger and after deciding I would actually attempt to EAT this triple bypass inducing greasefest, I could not physically stomach more than 3 bites.
Not a veggie to be found, and no discernable taste to be recognized, it was awful.
Bring back the Big Bacon Classic!!!!
Otherwise my dog will be very happy...

The reviewers need to get off the soap box and stop whining about "oh dear! so much fat". Get real! you are probably the same people that rush to a happy hour and slam down a six pack of "light" beer and think that it's fine as it was "light". Clowns like you that preach healthy living out of one side of your mouth and gobble cheesecake in the other side make me and many more people ILL with yoru nagging. Take a hike and take peopel like Rachel Raye with you.

Last time we were at Wendy's, the cheeseburger had the THINNEST beef patty I've seen in 50 years. I didn't know it was even possible to fry beef that thin! I could never accomplish that feat at home... Not to mention that that chili we ordered contained hunks of this wafer-thin burger all through it. Way to use the leftovers! Oh, and the baked potato had a full spoonful of DIRT under the potato, in the container. Totally bad Wendy's experience. Don't know if I can stomach going back.

I sorta got the feeling that they had made it the previous day & kept it warm all night in a bucket of grease under a heat lamp.
If you really want a good burger, try Five Guys or even Sonic...the old-school fast food places suck more and more all the time....lousy food, lousy service, filthy buildings... :p blecch!

I actually called the Wendy's headquarters several years back to ask if they would put it on the menu since they put the Carolina Classic (Quarter Pound Cheeseberger w/ chili, slaw and onions) on the menu here in the South periodically, but they said No and wouldn't give out recipe... shucks!

Not my favorite Wendy's burger ever, but good enough that on Monday we went back for dinner and ordered them again. Personally, I preferred the mozzarella-lovers' burger they did a few months ago, but the Baconator is worth a try if you like bacon. On a scale of 1 to 10...I'd give the Baconator an 8. Yummy, but not my favorite Wendy's burger.

Short story (but true)... I went to Wendys drive thru a week ago, and ordered a #4... didn't really pay much attention. When I got home.. surprise! Baconator. This thing is pretty gross, rivers of grease dripping off it, like a soggie ball of meat. Anyyway, fast forward to last night:

I went to Wendy's and tried to order a Big Bacon Classic, (the old #4) but was told that it no longer exists. They then suggested the artery clogging Baconator. Ugh!!

Personally, the only reason I really goto Wendys IS the Big Bacon Classic. Granted it's still a bacon burger, but with veggies and everything being more balanced, i think it's got a great taste. I tried to even get them to make it for me, but they refused. heh :(

Anyway, theres a petition online to “Save the Wendy’s Big Bacon Classic”
Wendy's is only the latest to pick up the trend of unhealthy food. Hopefully this will get them turned around to sanity.

Like Tony, I went to Wendy's when the Baconator first came out, ordered a #4 combo, and got home to discover that it was not the Big Bacon Classic, it was an over whelming ammount of beef, cheese, and bacon that my fiancee and I now call The Heart Attack! Since I usually order the Big Bacon Classic, I decided to try the sandwich even though it was not what I ordered, and I have to agree with Tony that I prefer the old #4, with all the veggies. Atleast with the veggies, you don't feel so guilty about eating it, but the Baconator is just embarracing to be caught eating! (If you want this guilty pleasure, I reccomend going home to eat it!) But it was a good sandwich, I couldn't finish it all (felt a little sick), but my fiancee was more than happy too!

That's like a movie critic who hates cinema!
I don't get the mindset there.

OK, I've given you a hard enough time. All in fun, Kat. Keep smilin~
