The Gouda Bacon Cheeseburger features a ¼ lb. beef patty topped with Garlic Aioli, Gouda Cheese, Swiss Gruyere Cheese Sauce, 3 strips Applewood Smoked Bacon, red onions, tomato and fresh spring mix – all served on a Brioche Bun.

Man I could fuck with one of those right now let me tell you.

 

[Angry Grimace]

bullshit that's 640 calories with nothing on it

 

[hermit7]

Looks delicious.

Wendy's is probably favorite fast food place after in and out.

Will try.

 

[Takuan]

Gimme one with two patties RIGHT NOW.

 

[JoseLopez]

Looks cool

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Let me give you the basic rundown of what will go through every customer's mind:

- OH HEY SOMETHING NEW

*tries it*

- MMM this is tasy

*finishes it*

- Ehhhhhh not as good as the Baconator.

 

[Jenenser]

the moment i opened this op and saw the picture....

 

[AMUSIX]

...Garlic Aioli, Gouda Cheese, Swiss Gruyere Cheese Sauce,

something tells me the flavor of the Gouda is going to be severely overpowered.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Had one last week - doesn't really taste like gouda.

The previous advertised burger (the portabello mushroom melt) was better. I mean, the gouda one is good, but it's just a bacon cheeseburger.

 

[Man God]

Had this today with a side of "bacon fondue fries" which were just them reusing the cheese sauce here and putting bacon on a small order of fries.

Both were serviceable.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Wendys should expand to germany.

 

[Wag]

Too gouda.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

 

[Man God]

It actually looked real close to that picture by the way. Real pretty fast food burger.

 

[Dereck]

I drove by a Wendys and saw that burger, I wasn't sure what Gouda was so I didn't get the burger at that time.

 

[GillianSeed79]

Had one today. Wasn't worth the price. Was just meh.

 

[HiResDes]

Would rather have a Baconator. Wendy's just needs to work on those god awful fries. How they made them worse is unbelievable.

 

[Nemo]

something tells me the flavor of the Gouda is going to be severely overpowered.

The hell? Gouda is like the weakest cheese ever, I always opt for it in my burgers instead of Cheddar because I find that one too strong

 

[Kozak]

The picture sure looks good

 

[Rocketz]

Guess I need to make a stop at Wendy's.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Got Stafford rolling up there right now.

 

[IrishNinja]

Man I could fuck with one of those right now let me tell you.

yes
yes

 

[GKSilKamina]

BRING BACK THE PRETZEL BACON CHEESEBURGER

AND THE JALAPENO FRESCO CHICKEN SANDWICH WHILE YOU'RE AT IT

In all seriousness I'll probably go get one of those gouda burgers tomorrow.

I read this and my nose started bleeding.

Pretzel buns are lunacy and should be banned from burgerdom everywhere. Fuck outta here. Brioche buns yes! Potato buns yes! Egg buns yes! Regular ass white bread for burgers yes!

 

[Rarity]

I have difficulty believing that's 640 calories.

 

[Shin Kojima]

Stop pronouncing it like Gooda, America.

 

[LyleLanley]

Stop pronouncing it like Gooda, America.

How d'ya want us to pronounce it then?

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Stop pronouncing it like Gooda, America.

Everyone outside of the Netherlands calls it Gooda, so good luck with that (I'm Dutch and don't give a fuck).

It's horrible cheese anyway. Give me blue, camembert or old as fuck cheese any day of the week over that tasteless shitty cheese....

 

[Shuggananas]

Garlic aioli and red onions ? Fucking gross man

 

[Demoskinos]

Let me give you the basic rundown of what will go through every customer's mind:

Fuck yeah. If you're committing suicide by fast food The Baconator is the way to do it.

 

[JeffZero]

Dude, I ate like ten Baconators whilst playing through Mass Effect 3 for the first time, but I'd gladly have switched up 20% of them for this monster.

 

[kitschykitty]

I haven't eaten at a Wendy's in like a year but I hate how often they put spring mix on their limited time products. This looks pretty good though.

 

[sixteen-bit]

why didn't they try to make the promo shot look apetizing?

 

[Fliesen]

bullshit that's 640 calories with nothing on it

I have difficulty believing that's 640 calories.

"per 100g"

Accurate except the last line should read "oh god I feel ill." I don't know if it's just my local Wendy's but they make the absolute greasiest burgers I've ever had that taste great (by fast food standards) but make me legit feel sick halfway through.

 

[Chuckie]

Everyone outside of the Netherlands calls it Gooda, so good luck with that (I'm Dutch and don't give a fuck).

You can buy old as fuck Gouda too. I bought some 5 year old cheese in Gouda and it was absolutely delicious.

 

[daviyoung]

you gouda be kidding me

 

[Snkfanatic]

Garlic aioli and red onions ? Fucking gross man

What is wrong with you?

 

[TheSeks]

Wendy's just needs to work on those god awful fries. How they made them worse is unbelievable.

Wut.

Also they need to bring back to Pretzel Burger or at least the damn buns.

 

[bakerbakes]

Can we get a IRL picture of this? Want to lower my expectations to a realistic level.

 

[ColdPizza]

something tells me the flavor of the Gouda is going to be severely overpowered.

My initial thought as well...

 

[Shin Kojima]

How d'ya want us to pronounce it then?

The Goud part would rhyme with loud.
Also the G would sound like a cat throwing up but I guess that would be asking too much.

 

[Bel Marduk]

Had one yesterday. It was pretty goud.

 

[totowhoa]

Had one last week and it was great. That garlic aioli is yummy. Definitely the best specialty fast food item I've had in years. Wendy's always so on point.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Had one yesterday. It was pretty goud.

Ok these shitty puns have gouda stop.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Fuck the turkey, I'd eat a platter full of these for Thanksgiving

Baconator requires extra sauces to prevent from tasting dry 9/10 times, this looks like it won't have that issue...

Def gonna pick one up soon. Wish it was a 1/3 lb patty, tho.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

You can buy old as fuck Gouda too. I bought some 5 year old cheese in Gouda and it was absolutely delicious.

True, but I was talking about the stuff they market abroad as "Gouda cheese", the tasteless stuff I mean ;-)
