I peeked under the bun and saw a very thin, practically non-existent spread of S\u2019Awesome across the bread. At this point, to me, it tasted like a bacon burger that cost a bit too much at $5.19. <\/p>\n<p>However, I got brave and went to the counter and requested a small cup of S\u2019Awesome sauce which they generous acquiesced to. I used it as a dipping sauce for my burger, which made all the difference in the world. A little dab won\u2019t do. You need a deluge of sauce to get the full power of S\u2019Awesome, which I\u2019m all for.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the single variety that I purchased, there&#8217;s also a double and triple if you need that much Wendy\u2019s meat in your life. There&#8217;s also the calorically dangerous S\u2019Awesome Bacon Fries, covered in chunky bacon and S\u2019Awesome sauce. (I\u2019d love to see the S\u2019Awesome sauce as a goopy baked potato topping. That would be truly S\u2019Awesome.)<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Wendy%E2%80%99s-S%E2%80%99Awesome-Bacon-Classic-3.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wendy's S'Awesome Bacon Classic 3\" title=\"Wendy\u2019s S\u2019Awesome Bacon Classic 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What I\u2019m slowly learning is that, when it comes to these sauce-heavy sandwiches, it\u2019s completely up to the sandwich-maker how much they\u2019re going to put on it.
