Bacon Cheeseburger

[mindlessobserver]

Someone earlier mentioned five guys and they make a good burger but the buns they use are not up to the task. I do wish they'd go to a brioche or otherwise much sturdier bread.

They did originally. As someone who can say I went to their original store (the fries were also Potato Wedges back then) they used a very sturdy bun.

The issue with bread though is its a pain to deal with at scale. They just got too big, and the local bakery in the same strip mall as their original location can't exactly provide the buns for their operations now. As for getting something similar, well, that is the issue of supply chains and wat not. This is often why local joints end up with better burger buns. They have greater options. National chains are more limited in what they can get because the suppliers capable of providing the volume required are very few in number.

I feel like they have still done okay on this front. Their bun is a far sight better then what you would get at McDonalds or Wendy's.

Next you're going to tell us that drinking one's own pee is better than water.

There’s a little mom and pop diner in my area called Cruiser’s that makes really good bacon cheeseburgers. Tastes like backyard barbecued burgers

Unpopular opinion, I dont think bacon belongs on a cheeseburger.

Ill raise this, I believe that pork doesn't belong in at least 97% of all Western dishes it's found in. It's usually added with little to no thought.

They just add it.

Edit to clarify: bacon cheeseburgers may be part of the 3%.

Bacon really doesn't bring anything to a burger, it's competing with the patty itself for savory flavor. At best you get a crunch if they cook it properly but if I had a quarter for every bacon cheeseburger I've had with sad, floppy bacon on it, I'd be rich.

I wholeheartedly disagree. I've had Bacon Cheeseburgers that put way too much bacon on them, if you put two, maybe three strips it's perfect. The point is to make the bacon compliment the burger, not overpower it. You guys would've had the same problem if whoever made your food drenched it in sauce or too much salt.

I tried Burger King's bacon cheeseburgers. Their bacon isn't soft so it's more crunch than savory. I'll have to give the edge to Wendy's.

Do you think they had the worst you've ever tried? I hear that a lot.

The Bacon Cheeseburger is the ultimate test of who counts as fully evolved humans and who doesn't.

The sand niggers can't eat pork. The dreidel niggers can't eat them because they aren't kosher. The nacho niggers don't eat them because they aren't made from rat guts. The poop-flinging niggers can't eat them because of lactose intolerance.

Being able to eat a Bacon Cheeseburger marks you as a proper Human Being who is superior to the lower mongrel species.
