Update: We reviewed the burger and the fries.
Thanks to the queso, Wendy’s new Bacon Queso Burger, Bacon Queso Chicken Sandwich, and Bacon Queso Fries look messy. I’m talking 5-napkin messy.
The sandwiches feature fire roasted salsa, red onions, thick-cut Applewood-smoked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and a poblano queso on a red jalapeño bun with either a fresh beef patty or Homestyle chicken breast. The Bacon Queso Fries are Wendy’s natural-cut sea salt fries topped with the poblano queso, cheddar cheese, and Applewood-smoked bacon pieces.
The burger has 550 calories, 32 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 110 milligrams of cholesterol, 1140 milligrams of sodium, 36 grams of carbohydrates, and 33 grams of protein.
The chicken sandwich has 590 calories, 27 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 105 milligrams of cholesterol, 1600 milligrams of sodium, 53 grams of carbohydrates, and 37 grams of protein.
The fries have 510 calories, 30 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 45 milligrams of cholesterol, 630 mg 47 grams of carbohydrates, and 15 grams of protein.
The Bacon Queso Burger and the Chicken Sandwich have a suggested retail price of $4.99 and $5.39, respectively. The Bacon Queso Fries have a suggested price of $2.49.
