Wendy’s Baconator

Nobody orders a Baconator because they’re looking for restraint. Beef, cheese, bacon, more beef, more cheese, more bacon—that’s the whole argument. Against something like the ShackBurger, it becomes excess vs. balance. Against the Big Mac, it’s a newer kind of fast-food heavyweight against an old standard. And against Wendy’s other rivals, the question gets wonderfully simple: when you want a burger, do you want the most burger possible? If bacon is part of your definition of greatness, the Baconator has a serious path through this bracket.
