Wendy's bacon Gouda burger- A review

Figured I needed to try this jewel out.

From Wendy:

quote:

---

start with a ¼ lb.* of 100% pure, fresh never frozen beef**, served hot off the grill and topped with a creamy Garlic Aioli, Gouda Cheese and Swiss Gruyere Cheese Sauce. Then we add 3 strips of fresh-cooked, Applewood Smoked Bacon, red onions, tomato and fresh spring mix - all served on a Brioche Bun.

I assume it was the real Wendy that typed that up. The legit Dave Thomas looking rotund one and not the skinny fake Wendy. Anyway, I like all those things so why not.

Here it is:



The good:

-The brioche bun was soft and warm
-The applewood bacon was smokey and applewoody
-The tomato was pretty red and juicy. I typically frisbee fling a fast food mater. This got allowed to stay...briefly.

The OK:
-The Gouda. It wasn't good Gouda by any means. Kinda the texture of a slice of 2 hour left out Kraft single, but you can detect some goudaness.
-The standard Wendy's square 100% all beef never frozen patty. It's a normal Wendy's patty. Edible, but has notes of cardboard soy and a kinda strange mouth. Or maybe that was the fondu/ aioli goo...

The Bad-
The fondu/aioli goo. There's tons of it. Not sure if this is standard or big Gertrude slipped into a diabetic seizure whilst she was spackeling mine on. She musta put half a bucket on there. I had to sacrifice the not so bad tomato to drag half that shite off and there. Once that was accomplished I settled back and kinda enjoyed the burger. Wendy's uses some good bacon, imho. Wouldn't mind some for home use.

Overall fast food burger rating---- 7.1/10
