Molly Moon's maple bacon ice cream is pretty tasty, I just wish they used smaller pieces of bacon.

Dude ew. Fuck bacon, honestly. It's like the only fucking shit some people can rely on for flavor that's fucked up dude.

Besides the sundae, the rest of the menu dosent sound bad
Oh. At least it wasn't supposed to be "cheese".

The cheese is on both sides of the burger patty.
Did it come out of a pressurized can? Looks awful.

So is this stuff out yet or coming out soon? I'll be heading on my lunch break soon and thinking of stopping by and trying something (will take pictures much to GAF's amusement)

Good high-quality bacon combines nearly all the best parts of pork - a bit of crispness but the meat still has a good firm chewiness, and there's enough fat for flavor but not too much. The only thing missing really is the crunch of pork skin.
You'd never get that from a fast-food place obviously.

Bacon is the lolcats of food. The internet is way into it for some reason.

Not a fan of the bacon desert trend.. tried ice creams, chocolate bars, chocolate truffles.. and some other randoms.
Just gimmicky "meh" all around. Pretty off-putting really.. I don't want chewy bacon bits in my deserts.. and they are especially chewy in cold or frozen deserts.
Other than that.. the flavor of bacon fat? It's OK I guess for deserts.. but certainly not mindblowing.
For me bacon is about texture as much as it is flavor, and it just doesn't work in a desert.

Bacon desserts are disgusting. The BBQ stuff sounds good though.

I tried the Carolina Whopper last night. Was going to try the Memphis sandwich with pulled pork, but the teller said something about coleslaw sauce yuk.
The burger was not bad. Extra saucy like I like my BBQ but not overly saucy. It was kind of sloppy yet not so bad you had to worry about it dripping everywhere.

I tried the Carolina BBQ Tendergrill with Sweet Potato Fries...It was OK for fast food. I didn't want to waste $2.50 on a bacon sundae,so I bought a apple pie...It was alright except that the pie crust on the top was undercooked...I guess that comes with heating it enclosed in its packaging. The best thing out of what I had turned out to be the fries.

Hey!
FU Too from your friends in Kansas City, Burger King!
(Though on the bright side, there are a million places in town to get a good pulled pork sandwich here anyway.)
Got the Memphis Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich. Looks fucking awful but it tasted much better than expected O_O Added a pic of what it's supposed to look like for comparison. (lol)
Also got some sweet potato fries, pretty good also.
Not sure what I'll try next time I visit BK.

Lmao at the comparison pic
Dunno never had Mickey D's, this one was way too sweet.
Is that what that was? Jesus, I thought it was mayonnaise, you gotta warn people when you're altering the pulled pork formula.

This is pathetic.
I don't know why, but the official trademark of PORK being "be inspired" makes me laugh. It's just so meaningless.
I've been known to put french fries in a fast food sundae so by all rights the bacon sundae should sound good to me, but the pictures make it look repulsive. The person who said that the bacon looks like jerky has it spot-on.

I've yet to try a bacon sundae, but I will say, I had a bacon cupcake once (Pancake flavor cake, maple syrup frosting, crumbled bacon throughout) and it was one of THE most delicious cupcakes I have ever eaten, so I am not opposed to trying a sundae version at all.
Though I do agree that Denny's way of doing it (with maple syrup instead of chocolate and caramel) sounds better.

Isn't cole slaw sauce mayonaise...but they add sugar and vinegar to it?

that looks nastier than the microwaveable shit you find at 7/11
I just tried it.. the Texas Whopper was ok.. the jalapenos were great, but there was no mayo and it really tastes different without it. The sweet potato fries were odd.. I felt like they didn't need salt at all, the salt on the sweet tasted strange. As for the ice cream, well it was nice but the bacon was totally unnecessary. It's not good quality bacon, and it's salty as fuck. You don't get a lot, but it works with the chocolate more than the actual ice cream. It was a nice meal, but you could probably go to a restaurant that serves this as get much better stuff for about the same price.
