I am a manager at a wendy’s in Michigan and let me just say that i absolutely hated the old way we used to do our baconator. I too thought it was like taking old shortening and shoving it in your mouth. DISGUSTING! But I have to say that this new bacon is INCREDIBLE! I will never put the old bacon on a sandwich again! BTW SCHOOLCRAFT, MI WENDY’S ROCKS!!!!

I would actually eat any cheeseburger, no matter how much of a bacony-mess it is.

I tried one of the new bacon cheeseburgers tonight and was searching the net looking to see what others think.
Oh my god, this is 1000000% better than the Baconator. The new bun is great, and the bacon is to die for. It was cooked perfect, crispy, not overdone, not under done. I inhaled the burger, give it a try, and I think you will love it. I will keep my eyes on your story to see what you think of the new burger.

I work for a Wendy’s and honestly it looks like a disgruntled employee took anger out on your burger. I would have taken that back and demanded to speak to a manager. (The employee put wayyyy tooo much catsup and mayo on your sandwich unless you wanted extra.)

Starting this month (October 2009) Wendy’s is rolling out a new kind of bacon called “Applewood Smoked Bacon” which my store started a couple of weeks back. The Applewood Smoked Bacon is prepared from scratch in our oven.

Previously all sandwiches used a type of bacon that was microwaved but when your local Wendy’s starts the Applewood Smoked Bacon, the microwaved bacon will be used on the value sandwiches only.

And all premium sandwiches now feature a new and improved bun to go along with the new Applewood Smoked Bacon. When your local Wendy’s starts to use Applewood Smoked Bacon you should notice a visible change with the Baconator as well.

Once your Wendy’s starts to use Applewood Smoked Bacon, the Baconator will have three strips of the new bacon on top of the slice of cheese in the middle and three strips on the top. This is different as the picture in your article has the old build with the old bacon.

I hope you will try the Baconator again, maybe at a different Wendy’s location that won’t butcher the sandwich to heck. It is one of my favorite sandwiches to eat.

What?! Baconator is my favorite burger, other than my local burger shack. I think it’s just the wendy’s you went to, because mine is always great. Best fast food i’ve eaten.

Being a devoted bacon cheeseburger lover I, too, thought the Baconator would be the answer to my worst burger cravings. Like you, I found the Baconator a huge disappointment. It was just aweful. I had one brought home to me one evening. The bun was limp and soaked, the whole sandwich fell to pieces while trying to eat it, and the flavor in general was very lacking. The true burger devotee won’t generally worry that much about the grease content in a burger (for the most part). But, after only being able to eat a small portion of the Baconator, I wasn’t satisfied at all. I simply felt “dipped in fat”. It was horrible! The next time I went to Wendy’s to eat I ordered their fish sandwich. Now that was wonderful. Naturally, when I went back to have another they had discontinued it. Why is that? That’s really messed up. Don’t get rid of the good stuff!
