Wendy's Baconator Reviews

    ★★★★

    FIRE

    American maximalism done right. Veggies are for europeans, we garnish meat with more meat in "murica. Only deducting points because I feel like a piece of shit after I eat it.

    SOLID

    Probably one of the best bang for your bucks you can get all things considered. Lots of bacon. Always pretty consistent across locations. I like the smaller one sometimes when I’m not as hungry.
