Wendy’s Baconator, $6.79
Taste: The baconator was one of the best fast food burgers we’ve had in a while. The baconator created a tingling and flavorful sensation, as we bit down on the warm juicy bacon on the burger. The cheese and the patties complement each other nicely as well as the bacon giving it a smoother texture. The two patties were hot and juicy, just like Wendy’s promised.
Appearance: Six strips of bacon coming out of the sides topped with the burgers and cheese all wrapped up in a soft bun. The bacon was placed in rows on the two patties; it was very symmetrical. We were also a fan of the little carton.
Bacon Level: Mind-Blowing, Rating: 11/10
Steak ‘n’ Shake Bacon Cheese Fries, $2.79
Taste:The combination of salty bacon and fries with the smooth cheese made a satisfying side dish. The texture of the bacon complimented the cheesy sauce. The only real issue was that the cheese was too sticky, making it a necessity to eat the fries with a fork.
Appearance: The cheese was drizzled on each and every fry with bacon covered on the platter. The plate looked appetizing with the different colors and layers. There was an equal ratio of all ingredients.
Bacon Level: Adequate, Rating: 6/10

Burger King Bacon Sundae, $2.79
Taste: Delectable sundae with hot fudge caramel swirl. The bacon was undesirable. The bacon in this sundae tasted undercooked and rubbery. The sundae itself had a great flavor, but the bacon made it awful. The bacon turned to crumbled nastiness in our mouths. The worst $2.79 ever spent.
Appearance: Ice cream packed within the cup topped with hot fudge and caramel with bacon bits spread across the top and mixed in as well as one strip hanging on the side. The beautiful appearance was misleading considering the sub-par taste.
Bacon Level: Sickening, Rating: 1/10
