Wendy’s Spicy Baconator: “…six delicious bacon strips piled on two 1/4 lb. fresh, never frozen, burger patties, topped with Pepper Jack cheese, Chipotle Ranch sauce and jalapenos for an added kick.” 40 cents more than the non-spicy version, this 40-calories heftier model swaps Pepper Jack cheese for American, drops mayo and ketchup for Chipotle Ranch, and adds strips of jalapeno peppers to jumpstart the bacon. The only single Wendy’s menu item to surpass it in calories is the 3/4 lb. Triple with Cheese (weighing in at 980), and you know I’ve gotta try that soon. But the Spicy Baconator? It’s actually a pretty good sandwich.
