Bacon King is good, but I still prefer a Baconator over it. That preference is at least partly because my Wendy's Location Privilege is better than average. Idk, it's been such a long time since I've been to a bad Wendy's that I don't even remember exactly how big of a difference it makes.

Baconator has the same amount of beef and bacon but less bun and less mayo so I think it has the edge unless I'm in the mood for mayo. The baconator can get a little greasy sometimes which makes it a little hard to eat in the car.

It's been usurped for me. Bacon King has Roose Boltoned the Baconator.

While I do like Burger King I have a real hard time going there over Whataburger here in Texas.

Not an exact comparison, but I'd take a flamethrower from DQ over either of them.

Still never been to a DQ in my entire life. Still been meaning to - mental note: she'll want to eat when she's out of the hospital no doubt, find one on the way home.

Hit one in the South if you want a great experience, Texas quality standards are insane compared to a few I've been to up north. They never have the fucking Flamethrower down here though, that sauce is so good.

I fucked myself posting that picture earlier. I've been thinking about a flamethrower burger all morning and have no way of getting one short of driving 100 miles round trip on icy roads and it's -8 outside.

I'll confirm that the DQ quality up north in my neck of the woods is pretty low. I don't know how they do it, but there's almost always something disappointing or wrong with the sandwich. On a really good day they'll fuck up the fries instead. I've never had any issue with the deserts though, so I keep going back.

There's a DQ about 2 minutes away from my house that I never go to anymore because I have never, even once, gotten good fries there. They are always soggy and old.

The flamethrower is a good burger though, fast food wise.

In Wisconsin at least, most of the DQ's closed through the winter, so they were kind of half-assed businesses, and always understaffed. And since everywhere around here has a Culver's now, most of them are gone, or turned into some DQ/Orange Julius thing that only has deserts and maybe deep fryers, but no grills.

That burger looks delicious =/

Ron Jon territory in Florida - so pretty south here.

Of course the advertisement looks delicious.



There's a few Culver's here and they're always consistently fresh and high quality and busy. For some reason there's like twice as many DQs around though. I think it might be because most of them are so small that they're "fully staffed" with like 2 or 3 workers? I haven't seen a difference in quality between the bigger DQs and the ones barely bigger than a food truck though.

Wife took my debit card for something and forgot to return it (and I forgot too). Went to sonic at 645 and ordered food and realized I only had a $5 bill in my pocket so could only get her ice cream. They closed at 700 so my new years Eve had no food for me. I made pigs in a blanket so it was alright I guess, but I craved that blast later.

Going tonight and splurging
