Mr. Baconpants got a call from Wendy’s a few days ago to discuss the bad review of their Bacon Deluxe due to the thin, short, wimpy bacon. Wendy’s said they’ve got new applewood smoked bacon that’s thicker and tastier, so I ran out to test this new bacon before the next BACON LIVE show to give them a review to share. Both Mr. Baconpants and Sean were impressed by the taste of the bacon, but it was still thin and short. Luckily, their Bacon Deluxe burgers had better-looking bacon than mine. My Bacon Deluxe bacon was sweet and flavorful, but kinda limp. I haven’t had a Wendy’s burger in at least a year, and I’m still not impressed with the meat. To me, it tastes like someone ran it under cold water and then put it on a bun. I had several SONIC Bacon Croissant Sandwiches recently. They had more bacon than the Bacon Deluxe and half the price, but the bacon had no flavor at all; it was like eating bacon-shaped plastic. The last time I had a fast food burger, I got it with no meat patty and 40 slices of bacon, and that was from a Whataburger. I might have enjoyed the Wendy’s meat if I’d tried it with BaconSalt, but I was trying to give it a chance all by itself.
So, for bacon flavor, Wendy’s wins. I just with there was more of it for the price ($4.19 here, and that’s without cheese!)
I started to make a video review, but it wouldn’t have been very nice, so I covered my rant with music.
Everyone here’s been kind of sick lately, and we don’t recommend BaconSalt in your TheraFlu, so I’m sorry we haven’t posted anything great.
