94. BURGERS (can’t think of a witty title)
January 15, 2009I’ve been a burger lover for as long as I can remember, even longer. My mom recalls when I was around six or seven years old. I can eat two tropical hut hamburgers while she could only eat one. Yes I know, one day when I am old and weak, my love will come back to kill me, but hey. At least I’ll die happy and contented right?
So recently, McDonald’s and Wendy’s came out with two awesome burgers. Yes, I know there are other awesome burgers out there, but I’m sticking with those two because I’ve been an avid fan of their burgers since I was a kid. Wendy’s Baconator and the McDonald’s Double Quarter Pounder. I will try to break them down and compare the two.
The Baconator
True to its name, the Baconator is the ultimate hamburger Wendy’s has ever launched. It has two 100% beef quarter pound patties and six slices of bacon. Yes, SIX. Now it’s scarier than the name itself huh?
When I had the Baconator a couple of days ago, I said to myself, now this is a burger I am certain it came from Wendy’s. It’s their theme: Fancy burgers. Putting a twist on those hamburgers and making them special and unique.
The Double Quarter Pounder
Take a cheese burger and pump it up with steroids – lots of it! And what do you get, the very massive, very 100% beefy Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese Burger. With their old school and patented pickles, pickle relish and the sesame seed bun, I’d say this is what burgers are supposed to be: Straight up beefy tasting burger.
It’s simple really, get hamburger buns and stuff it with meat. They have bragged about it, billions served. So why change the recipe? It’s tried and tested and I have to say it tastes great.
The Verdict
Just like Iron Man and The Dark Knight, one cannot really compare both flagship burgers. It’s a matter of perspectives. Do you like to eat bacon? Then go get a Baconator. Do you love the taste of pure 100% beef? Go get the Double Quarter Pounder. I just have one observation I want to share, they both have half a pound of beef but why is the Baconator lighter than the Double Quarter Pounder? Considering the Baconator has six slices of bacon. Meh.
So how about you, what do you prefer?

Posted by Ade at January 15, 2009, 11:02 pmWait. What’s the DBP?
A friend once told me, before you eat something that oil, better to take Orlistat first. I have to agree. It shields your digestive track from all the oil.
An effect would be some major anal leakage. You’d need a tampon just so you won’t walk around with an “oil spill” back there.
Posted by Joel Avatari at January 16, 2009, 9:42 amWhy not just call it Half Pounder instead of Double Quarter Pounder?
Posted by drizzle at January 16, 2009, 11:10 amIt’s all about marketing I guess, using an already known brand like Quarter Pounder and adding something premium to it makes everyone all the more curious.

DOES quarter pounder a quaerter of a pound when cooked? or they weigh like that when cooked?
