The Spicy Baconator: A Burger Worth Dying For

[VanillaGorilla]

http://www.wendys.com/images/product_thumbs/297.png

Has anyone here had the glorious Spicy Baconator from Wendys? My god. If you could kill Alyssa Milano, grind her body down into hamburger, and serve it, along with jalapenos, six strips of bacon, pepper jack cheese, and a chipotle ranch sauce, as a burger, you would have the Spicy Baconator.

In fact, this burger is so good, I wrote a song about it!

The Spicy Baconator Song.

Thats good, cause you probably will if you eat enough of them.:lol:

[freakyzeeky]

:rofl:

Love the song :lol:

[VanillaGorilla]

:rofl:

Love the song :lol:The song was originally created as a part of my Digital Audio Production class. I needed some terrible music for someone to be listening to, and since we can't use copyrighted material, I had to make my own. So I went into Audition, took 3 random loops, put them together, and growled some lyrics about the Spicy Baconator. And thus, it was born. Teacher liked it so much he asked me for the MP3 of the song.

[necrojustice]

fuck yeah!

[Demolition Man]

Okay.... is this supposed to be Taz attempting to sing?

[GTzerO]

I would. but I'm on a diet.

[PhrostByte]

This is great. Good job.

[geko29]

It's not bad. But the 5-alarm chicken or whatever it was called was better. Spicy chicken sandwich with pepperjack cheese, jalapenos, that spicy sauce, on a cibatta roll. Now THAT was a damn fine sandwich.

[yukine]

A little too much bacon, but I'd like to try one of these.

[CouRageouS]

Your baconator song reminds me of another burger related song

and also burger and video game related

[QiG]

I remember they had some kind of burger that was so greasy and delicious that my girlfriend and I decided it would be seriously unhealthy to ever go back for another one. Might have been with mushrooms and sauted onions about a year ago, I couldn't remember now.

How does this rate on the spicy scaled compared to the spicy chicken/

[VanillaGorilla]

It's got a bit of heat to it, but not really. And the bacon isn't overwhelming, it complements everything else perfectly.

Truly, Wendy's is the EA of the fast food world.

Oh my god. The sacred texts were true.

If it has bacon, I must hate it. I must!!!!

Eww meat

I've eaten it at least a couple times a week now, other burgers at Wendy's just don't do anything for me

[ryanbph]

qft

[the3rdkey]

damn i will buy one this weekend!!!

[fart_bubble]

I've had the regular Baconator and really dug it, still haven't tried the spicy version

[KingDox]

Tag for later. And nice to bring up Burger Dog from bust a Groove. That game rocks.

Pretty Pretty Pretty Pretty Pretty Good.

Too bad it's the cencored US version.

[Wyatt]

Wendy's can have my babies. I don't care what product they make them into: they're that good.

I've yet to try this but it looks awesome. My favorite fast food place by far :D

[QiG]

I was sold on it, here is a pic of what I actually received:
http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/6985/0328081534au8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

It's not bad at all.. not too much heat at all (and I'm something of a wuss for spicy food). The bacon is about 6 2-inch strips, not overwhelming at all. My only complaint is that everything is tossed into the middle of the burger rather than spread out and could used more of the sauce. I won't get it again for fear of my heart stopping, but I'll give it a thumbs up.

[option.iv]

I'd like it better if they replaced the jalapeños with something as spicy but tastier. I'm not a fan of the pickled taste of jalapeños.

[Brak]

The second beef patty is a tad too much.

[SneakyPenguin]

I've had the regular Baconator and really dug it, still haven't tried the spicy version

Same, though that's because I'm not a big fan of the flavor that jalepenos impart.

[yukine]

I haven't had Wendy's in like 4 years, I'm going to pick up a Spicy Baconator and some Finger Chili.

[Dead of Knight]

Even Macdonald's is better than Wendy's.

You're disappointing me a lot lately. It's a VG thread. The comment was imminent, but bears no meaning.

As it is, Wendy's chicken nuggets aren't bad. The sweet and spicy sauce is good ish.

Finger Chili

This sounds like the sort of thing you'd look up on Urbandictionary.com, and then be horrified thereafter.

I think they gave you the shriveled dog penis burger by mistake.

[gunm]

So no one was put off by the whole grinding Alyssa Milano up into hamburger metaphor? If a violation of Alyssa M. has be compared to anything "good", then it can only be the making of sweet sweet love to her hot, albeit surgically-enhanced body. Nothing more, nothing less.

Then again, it is VG...

I'm trying to decide if I try this or the McRib tomorrow

[bluu]

Meh , I didn't care for it..............now the quad whopper with extra extra cheese and BBQ sauce Now thats a mans sandwich !

[-Never4ever-]

Just had one today before work. It was heart-clogging goodness. Although I'm sure the side of decent fries and a jumbo Rum & Coke certainly helped :lol:

[Magehart]

You gotta be shitting me. They're the only place of the big 3 to get edible food at all.

What are the big 3?

McD's
Jack
BK
Wendy's

[QiG]

Damn.. I haven't seen McRibs around here since I still lived at home. They used to bring them out during football (american football) season and I swear its been since 03 or 04 since I've had one.

[-Never4ever-]

What are the big 3?

McD's
Jack
BK
Wendy's

Take out Jack and you got your answer.

Mmm looks good, but I'm a pussy to jalapenos :cry:

I almost have the same reaction. I ordered one tonight, and it looked identical to your picture.

Not much heat (I wasn't expecting it, though, as it is mass-market fast food), the typical oversalted Wendy's beef patty, and limp-ass bacon. Was it tasty? Kinda. Was it greasy? You bet. Was it way too much for me to want to order again? Yes and no. I think I'll give myself a 6 month hiatus between spicy baconators, just for good measure.

BTW, VG, you live in Minneapolis, don'tcha? I recommend you get to The Bulldog (there are a few, I believe - though the one I ate at recently was in Nord'east) and order "The Ninja." A giant, fresh, scrumptious kobe beef burger with pepper jack cheese and *fresh* sliced jalepeno rings, seeds and spine and all. Now *that* is a spicy burger. Stack that noise with a side of tater tots w/ sriracha ketchup and a Bell's Two Hearted Ale, and you got yourself a fuckin' MEAL.

And instead of the ale, can I get Mr. Pibb?

Turns out it's about 18 miles away from where I live. Perhaps if I grow some balls and finally attend my first concert, which is in Minneapolis, I'll have to go there afterwards.

[KingDox]

Can we get the nutrition facts on this burger?

I haven't had a good scare for a while.

[Stoneage]

I'm trying to decide if I try this or the McRib tomorrow

Why decide? Have a two-fer! The Spicy BaconMcRibOnator! What's better than bacon on a burger? Pork-like meat fashioned into a patty that looks like pork ribs on a burger! (With bacon, of course).

Whoever said one patty too many is with me. I'll eat fast food burgers, but only if they are thin and unjuicy.

[mykevermin]

I live in St. Paul, but I'll have to check the place out. And instead of the ale, can I get Mr. Pibb?

Just make sure you try it. If there's one thing you should ever actually listen to me on, this would be the one.

Also, be prepared to take off about half the jalapenos, unless you're bad ass enough to stomach that many fresh jalapenos. Yow. I wasn't.

[E_G_Man]

I went to Wendy's today to order one and they told me they ran out of bacon (but they could make it minus the bacon)..... honestly, how is that possible?

[CouRageouS]

It would be the Spicy Nator.

[Rig]

I might try it eventually.

If I feel like shortening my lifespan, I usually go with the BK Quad-Stack, or the Hardee's 2/3 Monster Thickburger.

OMG.. what a perfect meal: the burger has over a days worth of Sat. Fat in it, the cola chips in extra calories, and the fries round out the meal with extra carbs.

I would like to know if eating a spicy baconator combo takes a few days off of your life (no joke).

[CheapyD]

Bacon flavored rolling papers you say? Hmm, smoking just got a little more interesting.

[bigdaddy]

It's not a burger, it's a lump of chemicals stuck together.

I made real burgers a few days ago, tasted great, and not like cardboard.

[BasketCase1080]

figured id post this local news paper article since it has relevance to the topic. Took place in my hometown...

APPLETON — Police early Wednesday investigated the theft of two Spicy Baconator sandwiches as a drive-though employee and customer attempted to make their exchange.

Officers were called to Wendy’s, 3300 S. Oneida St., at about 1 a.m. According to police reports, a man grabbed the customer’s bag of food as the employee attempted to hand it from the drive-through window. The unknown man ran eastbound.

Police followed footprints in the snow, which ended in the 300 block of E. James Street, suggesting that the thief got into a vehicle.

The Wendy’s employee received a small scratch on his forearm during the incident, though he told police it wasn’t painful.

[VanillaGorilla]

Good lord, food snobs are the most annoying fucking pricks on the internet. We get it, you eat nothing but all natural foods, grown straight out of your backyard, and you think anyone who doesn't eat the same is a fucking idiot. Now go back to shitting solid bricks.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

I must make my own vegetarian version of this burger.

[Strell]

Now go back to shitting solid bricks.

Which they can then sell back to Wendy's, who will make Spicy Baconators out of 'em.

The thing is, it's going to take a lot longer than 30 seconds to burn off all those calories and negate the effects of all that fat. Thinking about it just about makes me nauseous.

I greatly prefer the 1/2 Pound Double Stack. Not that I didn't enjoy this, but I have a really hard time stomaching nothing but greasy meat and melted cheese. It was a little too bland for me. Maybe if I added lettuce and tomato...

I have nothing to do tonight besides watch the Simpson's Season's with audio commentary so it looks like I'm going to finally try this beast of a burger tonight.

[willardhaven]

I have to say, I really like the looks of the burger, but in person fast food burgers always disappoint me.

I'm going to try to grill a homemade baconator this summer though.

When I hit up Wendy's or McDonald's, I usually enjoy the chicken nuggets since they never disappoint.

BTW McDonald's has some pretty awesome buffalo sauce for their nuggets.

Not a single piece of meat? Are you one of those people who think they use paper or something as a meat substitute? Obviously, the meat isn't high quality.. it wouldn't be economically profitable to do so.. but it's still meat.

Agreed. That sauce is surprisingly good. Anyone remember the Chipotle Southwestern sauce from Wendy's? I'm not sure whether or not they still have it.. but it was super dank. Arguably even better than McDonalds Buffalo sauce (more spice, less pure hotness)

[lilboo]

I love doing things like that. You never would get the same exact taste, but you do. Plus you can control some of the extra fat content that goes into it. I'm not one of the food snobs like we've seen in this thread so far, but it's usually a smarter idea to do that.

I love the BK Stacker. Love it. The quad stacker, though a good time, is just a bit too much. The triple, however, tickles MY fancy. \\:D/ So last year, we made our own versions. They came out good! More filling (in an insane way) and clearly wasn't AS greasy!

We also did ANOTHER stacker, we did our take of the double stacker..but we went really stupid. Did a 'healthier' version. Basically it was 2 turkey burgers, and bacon (The center cut kind, really low in fat but just as tasty) and low fat thousand island dressing. They didn't have a thing on the normal stacker, but they were still pretty good :applause:

A baconator is something we must try and make. I haven't had one in a while..is there sauce on this? (Not so much the spicy one, just the normal one)

[gunm]

Hm, so if I just eat half a baconator, it won't completely destroy my daily calorie and fat intake and I can sort of enjoy it's spicy, greasy goodness. At least until the "aftermath".

I do like the idea of making my own, though. I can subsititute meat with soy/veggie or ground poultry, there's turkey bacon, cut out the extra patty, and use half the cheese. The 'penos can stay, and maybe use Miracle Whip instead of mayo in the "sauce"?

Not the same, but at least I can live another couple of years...

True and making your own versions can always be a good time.
However, eating ONE of these will not like.. ruin your life. You're not going to have a heart attack or be prone to dying any faster because you've eaten one of these. You won't even gain weight.

When you eat one of these...5x a week.. well.. That's something completely different :lol:

I finished it awhile ago just forgot to post about how awesomly amazingly good it was.

blech! :lol:

This inspired to make my own though. I would definitely take out the extra patty and not use so much bacon. and substitute the american cheese with cheddar. holy fuck I want one right now!
