Meh, not that good and not the same as the Big Bacon Classic.

The bun, bacon and cheese is different and honestly I prefered the old bacon. The new stuff has an odd chemical aftertaste and just wasn’t as chewy. Tried the Bacon Deluxe twice, even have some free Wendys coupons, but have never been back. I ordered the Big Bacon Classic as an off menu item for a long time when the Baconator replaced it and everything was fine. Then the Bacon Deluxe came out and they suddenly told me they can no longer make the Big Bacon Classic. Since I don’t like the Bacon Deluxe and they refuse to make me the Big Bacon Classic, I just stopped going to Wendy’s.

The frosties are good, but I went there for the Big Bacon Classic. Now that they replaced it with an inferior product, I just have no reason to go back.

So often I have found, even at wendy’s, that the “bacon” added to fast-food burgers is thinner-than-paper-thin (which probably accounts for why it is, as you put it, soggy and limp) Are you telling me that this stuff is actually thick enough you can’t read a newspaper through it?

That said, I can offer up a [mini] chain restaurant that really brings the bacon home when it comes to their “bacon” burgers: Everest [in the Los Angeles area] I say it is a ‘mini’ chain as there are probably 3 or 4 outlets total [think "family business"] Likewise there is another small chain known as “Yaki’s”, which is primarily a teriyaki-bowl restaurant, but they do burgers as well. I’m somewhat “blessed” as these two “chains” have locations that are [literally] side-by-side in my town here at the northern tip of Glendale…

BOTH of them serve real “thick cut” bacon on their burgers [1/8" or thicker!]

[...] and saves the better grade for their more expensive, premium burgers. (After all, even though Wendy’s has introduced a new, thick-sliced applewood bacon for their Bacon Deluxe and Baconator burgers, their original thinner and unspectacular bacon is [...]

I had it for lunch last week and it was DELICIOUS! Of course I ordered it with extra bacon so I’m sure that helped!

It didn’t seem any different than the Big Bacon Classic (which I always liked) they got rid of a few years ago. I just assumed they brought it back and gave it a new name to trick people into going to try their “new” burger.

How was I not invited to this bacony extravaganza? I feel slighted and hurt and am pouting all the way to Wendy’s to try the sandwich out for myself!

Having suffered through one of the namesake bacon sandwiches they’ve previously made, I have my doubts about this one, but I’ll check it out and see if it’s a worthwhile effort on their part that makes up for the shortcomings of the Baconator(tm).
