Fast Food Fridays - Bacon & Bleu Burger

yes, i eat fast food. yes, i enjoy some of it. 60% is because of how cheap it is and 40% is because i enjoy it. judge me. it has been a nemesis of mine for as long as i could remember. and as much as i would like to dine at some of the more awesome spots, it's just not in the cards or my wallet. BUT the wallet issue a personal issue, one that i blame myself for the career path i chose, and therefore have no room to complain about, that would just make me a hypocrite among other things. without further ado, i claim friday to be fast food fridays. there is absolutely no gain you take from this other than to help kill time during your day. and possibly make you dumber from reading this or causing you actually go out and get fast food. but if you live in cities other than los angeles, your pick of the litter is a thousand times better. for we are a city on the run and shitty public transportation. so fast food is what a lot of us do. or rather what folks in my line of work do. our hours are all over the place and it's hard to find time to actually cook something when you're rolling home around 2am.

for this first segment of fast food friday, i've gone with a burger that isn't on a menu at the moment, but it was freaking awesome when it was. i'm talking about the bacon and bleu burger at Wendy's. I'm a big Wendy's fan personally. because they have great products and for some reason i don't feel as guilty after i demolish one of their burgers.

it's your typical burger with caramelized onions, applewood smoked bacon, creamy steakhouse spread, and blue cheese. being that i am HUGE blue cheese fan on a burger, this was right up my alley. i also enjoy a steakhouse spread. it's a nice change up from mayo, mustard, or even ketchup ( but there will never be a good substitute for ketchup, let's be honest ) because i didn't have to go to a sit down restaurant and then proceed to pay $10 for it. it was fast, delicious, and who doesn't like applewood bacon? why they took this away, i will never know, but i await for it's arrival back to the mix. to make matters worse, OR for your benefit, here are the nutrition facts:

is this really surprising? not really. we've all seen 'super size me' and although it was a movie full of great facts, informational to watch, and entertaining, that didn't really stop too many americans from saving some bucks and getting fast food from time to time. i'm guilty as charged. i'll go hammertime if i see a new idea brought to the fast food table. so go do yourselves a favor this weekend and be a little dirty. find yourself a bacon blue cheeseburger somewhere, sit down and eat it prison style. with elbows out, back hunched over, to keep others away from the nom session you are about to partake in. no judgement coming from this guy. if you invite, i'll be there so you don't feel as weird.
