Wendy's Introduces New Giant Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger

Featuring twice the beef patties, bacon, and American cheese of the original, along with lettuce, tomato, and mayo, the new burger can be had in a $5 combo meal along with 4-piece chicken nuggets, small fries, and a small drink at participating Wendy's restaurants (It's basically the chain's 4 for $4 deal with a bigger burger for an extra buck).

Interestingly, Wendy's has never offered a regular "Bacon Cheeseburger" although you can have bacon added to any of their burgers. Then again they don't serve a regular-sized version of any of their other Jr. burgers either (except for the Jr.Cheeseburger Deluxe, which is a smaller version of the Dave's Single).

So a baconator with veggies? Sign me the fuck on

 

[Puruzi]

damn I am with that burger

 

[RiderKairuu]

Im conflicted because I love the JBC but I dislike doubles

 

[Loudninja]

Goodman Burger Wars today.

 

[kitschykitty]

I don't live near a wendys anymore but if I did i'd definitely try that.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

This escalation NEEDS to stop.
We are one heart attack inducing burger monstrosity away from the Franchise Wars.

Will cooler heads prevail or are we doomed to a bleak future where only Taco Bell survives?

A Son of Baconator with veggies.

The Baconator uses the 1/4lb patties.

 

[sooperkool]

Had this here all spring, its a good deal for a 3 buck burger.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Love me some JBC. I'm in.

 

[norm9]

Jr Bacon Cheeseburgers are generally small as heck, like 3 bites to finish, so this will be a welcomed addition to the value menu.

 

[hateradio]

$5? Meh.

Got some 85% lean beef patties from Costco. Salt and pepper only. Cooked them to medium. Tossed some bacon into the pan. Fried them bits.

Delish. Wendy's can't compare to that.

Hateradio, do you have a drive-thru?

I just add lettuce and tomato to a baconator.

 

[Hellsing321]

Love me some JBC so more of it is always welcome.

If those burgers are frozen you should definetly be NOT eating them medium. Only cook medium for ground chuck you can source.

Wendy's doesn't do frozen beef.

Had one for lunch today, it was good.

And since the meal was ordered without the nuggets or bun because of allergies they gave me medium fries for free and I topped it off with their delicious Dave's Orange creme soda.
Was a good lunch, especially for $5.

 

[Ebris]

Wendy's used to have the Big Bacon Classic, which was effectively a bacon cheeseburger. It also had a really good kaiser bun, vs. the crap we have now. Much better burger than the baconator.

 

[Attack You]

Needs mushrooms.

 

[snap]

how long until super size comes back

 

[Drifters]

Needs mushrooms.

Not even my final form.gif

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Looks a lot better than whatever BK unveiled yesterday

Lol did they really just skimp out on the lettuce since that is what replaced the bun?

 

[Falchion]

It looks fairly decent.

They dont have the Big Bacon Classic anymore :O? Its been a while since ive been to one

 

[MJPIA]

There was a large piece of lettuce on top and bottom and it worked well.
A lot better than what burger king or McDonalds do for their burgers without buns.

 

[Frostinferno]

Twice the meat and cheese for only a dollar more? This is great by fast food standards.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

when $4 gets you a bacon cheese, 4 nuggets, small fries and small drink...

$1 more for another patty, slice of cheese, and tomato and some lettuce seems like a rip off

this is the DLC of burgers

 

[Walter White Walker]

A giant Jr. Wouldn't that be like, you know, a regular?

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I haven't been to Wendy's in a minute. Actually, I was just dreaming about them during my nap.

 

[old manatee]

I'll never be able to fit that in my butt.

In their defense, they put alot of lettuce on their burgers that I usually end up pulling that shit out. You get a good quality/quantity ratio with their food.

Why is it giant but still junior???

 

[perfectchaos007]

Why is it giant but still junior???

Yeah its an oxymoron. I guess a Giant Jr. sounds better than a regular?

 

[Stabby McSter]

you can be a giant but still junior

that actually looks pretty good and well put together, yum

 

[Poot Poot Splash]

So it equals normal????

 

[segasonic]

"MAYO?"

 

[Drifters]

I had this the other night.... Confirmed; Legit good.

 

[LowParry]

I know what I'm getting for dinner tonight.

 

[old]

The sandwich itself is $2.99 at my local franchise. Two separate JBC would be $3.38. Had it. It was decent. The balance of flavor was a bit off. If I had it again I'd ask for extra lettuce and tomato.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Sometimes you gotta live a little. That slight chance you could die is where the flavor comes from.

Bring back the Spicy Baconator you assholes!

This burns what 20 mins? No thanks.

I still think the regular 4 for 4 plus a crispy chicken is a better deal.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

I went to college with one of the guys in that retro 80s commercial they have advertising this.

 

[Christian]

Bring back the Spicy Baconator you assholes!

When have they ever had a Spicy Baconator? Is this a regional thing?

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Had one last week. It's now my official go-to meal at Wendy's.

Shame that it's only temporary.

 

[Azuran]

Around 2008 to 2009 if I recall correctly. It was a thing in the Northeast USA and Canada.
