Wendy's Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger

The Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger was the best-testing product in Wendy's history.  Apparently one of the test markets was Cleveland.  And it's now on track to become Wendy's best-selling new product in a decade.

Of course we had to try it!

And it is, in fact, a really good fast food cheeseburger.  The hand cut pretzel bun (no two buns are going to be alike!) makes a difference - more substantial and more flavorful than a regular bun, it wasn't just a holder for the meat and cheese and the bacon and the cheese, but a legitimate part of the whole burger package. 

Now that I think of it, the hamburger patty is actually interesting part of a cheeseburger in general.  The cheese, the bacon, the red onions, the bread ... those are much tastier to me than the ground beef patty.
