I’ve read in many recent plurks about Wendy’s new burger, Baconator. And many seems to be craving it, so I guess it must really taste good. So I went out one time and had a takeout Baconator.
Well, one thing’s for sure: it looks like Wendy’s good whipping up a mashed up mess of bacon strips and burgers. I’m not sure it looked like this because it was a takeout and if it would have looked better if served as dine-in order. I don’t know what else was on the mind of the one in the kitchen who whipped up this sandwich, except for “I want to end this shift already! Let’s get this over with!”
Well, it doesn’t really look that much presentable or appetizing. But still, this bulky sandwich made up of six strips (and indeed, it contained six strips) of hickory smoked bacon and 2 beef patties, each 1/4 lbs., seems to fill up a craving for a heavy, high-fat meal.
From Wendy’s Nutrition fact page, here’s what exactly you’re getting eating this sandwich:
- 830 calories (for a sedentary 50-kg person, that’s already half of the required amount of calories for the day)
- 51 g total fat (for a sedentary 50-kg person, that’s already 2x the amount of fat he requires for the day)
- 35 g carbohydrates
- 56 g protein (for a sedentary 50-kg person, that’s more than half of the required amount of protein for the day. Definitely not for those on low-protein diets like patients with renal disease)
But then, not really many people count their daily caloric intake, and are more concerned whether they liked the taste of their meal or not. Taste-wise, it’s okay. Presentation, definitely not presentable. Healthy meal? Definitely no.
Still, it’s a good burger sandwich. I’d like another, one of these days. But, of course, I can’t have that everyday. And I’m not really a burger person so…
