In solidarity with the upward and outward growth of fast-food chain mega-burger offerings (and hence, the munching public), Wendy's has introduced a multi-meat menu item called The Baconator. The website describes it as, "Six strips of hickory smoked bacon piled high atop two 1/4 lb.* patties of fresh, never frozen, beef. Complete with two slices of American cheese, mayo and ketchup for a mountain of mouth-watering taste." I describe that as "daunting".
Brooklyn's Ali D., my operative in the fast food field (and, thank goodness for her arteries and digestive system, a yoga instructor) reported today's Baconator Lunch to be, "An unbelievably tasty and well-balanced sandwich. Equal hits of bacon, beef, and cheese. Yum!" and her post-consumption state as "PMS-ing, bloated, and satisfied."
I somehow doubt that I'll be venturing out for one at any point in the near future, so I put it to you, dear readers, to share with me your Baconator experiences. Use the comments to share with me your bacon-based hopes and desires, and whether or not the Baconator came close to fulfilling them. I'll live all vicariously and whatnot, and post some of the more entertaining replies in a follow-up report.
