<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The act of adding any type of barbecue, from the sauce to the meat, is the quickest way to screw up an otherwise decent cheeseburger. Either the sauce is too sweet, the meat bone dry, or everything is delivered to you sopping in pickle juice because they added too many damn BBQ-related toppings underneath the toasty bun.<\/p>\n
Our girl Wendy\u2019s, God bless her, has thankfully gotten the barbecue cheeseburger right this time.<\/p>\n
Settling in to my neighborhood restaurant on a cold evening, unwrapping the meaty mound, a proud steam rises high like a smokehouse smokestack, gently giving off a true barbeque aroma that you don\u2019t get with too many of these fast food concoctions. As the barbecue sauce runs wantonly down the sides, crispy fried onions try desperately to escape, but I push them back in with one hand as I lick the sauce off my other one.<\/p>\n
Holding the single snugly (it is also available in double and triple denominations if you\u2019re so inclined, natch) as I take a bigger first bite than I usually would, I get an immediately dream-like taste of that manufactured barbecue flavor that only Wendy\u2019s can accomplish, with daring singularity. The sauce is the best in the fast-food biz (and it always has been) while the addition of the fried onions is a tangy treat that is immediately welcomed overkill. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
With a mixture of sweet brown sugar and tart vinegar, the barbecue sauce that Wendy\u2019s uses isn\u2019t an additive meant to take your mind off what you\u2019re actually eating, but instead it\u2019s used to thoroughly enhance the flavor, letting it mix deftly with the meat and cheese and, even better, the fried onions. Sure, perhaps there was a few too many on my cheeseburger, but I\u2019d rather take too many than not enough and at Wendy\u2019s they do like to pile them high.<\/p>\n
As usual, the rest of the Wendy\u2019s Barbecue Cheeseburger – the never-frozen meat, the fresh bun and of course, American cheese \u2014 are all tops, but what really impressed me were the inclusion of these fat slices of pickles. I know it seems weird for me to point out, but I love how they weren\u2019t soaking in juice. Instead, they were firm discs that added a true snarl to the burger, instead of being immediately discarded off to the side, as they usually are.<\/p>\n

Wendy\u2019s has had quite a few successes over the past couple of years and it is safe to say that we can add the tempting Barbecue Cheeseburger to the list. A slight caveat however: even though the single has around 630 calories, once again, the sodium at 1360 takes a few points off. If this is the type of thing you watch, like I do, get one, but go easy on it, will ya?
