Some of you may remember my previous entry regarding the original Wendy’s Baconator. After many responses, some good, and some bad, and have decided that this is in fact a terrible product with a huge marketing campaign… but that’s stating the obvious.

Anyhow, Wendy’s has done it again. This time… it’s the Spicy Baconator.

After careful thought, I decided to attempt the same format as my previous entry. I took a visit to the nearest Wendy’s, only this time, I was the only one brave enough to tempt fate and eat such a scary meal.

Weighing in at only 287 grams, this 880 calorie monster (500 from fat alone) is frightening to any human being, except most of America.

Unwrapping it presented me with a glistening, shiny, burger… take a few moments to look through the following photos.

I decided to take my first bite…

The flavor was great amazing, especially for 2 beef patties, lots of cheddar jack cheese, multiple strips of bacon, and an odd chipotle mayo type substance that you can see was applied to it with some sort of roller or painters brush. There were also jalapeño’s. Jackpot!

Despite the burgers “spicy” description, it wasn’t really all that spicy. A little tangy, but not much more. I want to say that they watered down the jalapeño brine just a bit. Oh well, not all people can handle the heat of the weaksauce jalapeño.

As I was eating the burger, I glanced at the wrapper that it once resided within…

Yikes. Not a pleasant site at all. There really isn’t much more to say about the Spicy Baconator. It’s not all that it’s cracked up to be, but then again, it is fast food, and there’s a limited amount of respect anybody can give to a fast food meal.
