Back in grade school, my barkada and I usually hangout at Sta. Lucia. We typically go there with our chaperons; roaming around the mall to shop, play arcades, watch movie, or eat out. Our most visited restaurant back then was Wendy's. (Yeah, since I was a kid, I've been in love with fast food. So were my friends!) We usually have an order of the buffet salad which we share, and Bacon Mushroom Melt meal for each of us. Wendy's wasn't just some place we get our pots filled but it was also where most of our memories as friends were made; pigging out while we share stories and just having a good time together.
However, time came when I had to transfer school and leave my friends. At first, we maintained the communication but eventually fell apart. There was just too little effort on my part, which I deeply regret because now I miss them so much. Anyway, with that said, our friendship ended so was our accustomed trip to Wendy's.
Ever since, I've never eaten at Wendy's as frequent as before. Probably, once or twice every half a year would already be enough just to satisfy my cravings for their food.
But early this afternoon, for the sake of our "search for the best burgers around the metro"; I specially asked Toby if we could try and grab a bite of Wendy's Baconator which he willingly said yes! Oh, yeah!
Our total bill for 2 orders of Baconator
So, we got the burgers, with fries and drinks, and all I can say is that the Baconator was big though not really as huge as how I expected it to be. Their ads were total far portrayals of the actual product. Although, I was already expecting this since Toby had previously consumed a Baconator during our last dine at Wendy’s. And I still remember how his burger wasn't really visually impressing like the ones on their posters.
Nevertheless, the burger was still hefty and notably dense having two 1/4 lb. burger patties which they claim to be 100% pure beef, two slices of American cheese, six strips of bacon, mayo, and ketchup. It's a mountain of meat and cheese, with none of those tomatoes, lettuce, and veggie nonsense.
With no surprise, I immediately fell in love with the Baconator after having only a few bites on it. I loved how it was bluntly constructed, with no extra toppings whatsoever, just the sauce. The patties were a bit dry but it was still good and beefy. The strips of bacon were soggy but it worked well with the patties. The cheese, mayo, and ketchup which were also in the burger, made it more tasteful too.
I enjoyed every bite of that chest-busting, colon-choking burger. I have no doubt half of it is still clinging to the walls of my insides, and that my heart is probably starting to clogged up with all the fats and grease I've consumed. But who cares about any of that? It’s all about the rush, man - the Baconator rush.
No, I don't eat my burgers with my hands nor with an expression of a constipated person about to take a shit. Instead, this is how I particularly eat...
Altogether, it was a good combination of flavors. It's just that the presentation was really disappointing and their packaging somehow doesn’t quite work since their burgers seem to end up messy when biting out of it.
I assume Toby had a good take on his burger, too. He didn't seem to have any complaints other than how the burger looked. Although, he mentioned that he had a hard time finishing his meal and that he probably won’t eat or buy another Baconator any time soon. Honestly, I didn't believe half of what he said considering he has a really BIG appetite. Maybe I'll accept the "maybe won't buy" part since the burger was in fact a bit expensive. But worth it!
The Baconator is simply stunning, but don't just take my word for it. Get out there and buy one yourself! Personally, I wouldn’t mind having another Baconator in this lifetime. Maybe once every blue moon, preferably when feeling psychotic. HAHAHA!

Ads v. Reality, you be the judge!

So yeah, I guess I'm considered "maarte" based on my dining habits

He looked even more pregnant after consuming his burger
