A short-lived test-market item from earlier this year, the Rodeo Stacker King has officially gone nationwide, and if you have a hankering for hefty hamburgers, you definitely ought to lend me your ears right about now. <\/p>\n<p>The towering, edible monument of meat-stuff comes in three tiers; the single patty variety, the double-patty variety, and the virtually health insurance-policy canceling <em>triple stacker<\/em> permutation, whose caloric payload HAS to be teetering on the brink of 2,000.<\/p>\n<p>As for the burger itself, you\u2019re getting all of the expected ingredients. There\u2019s BK\u2019s iconic flame-grilled beef patties shellacked with a nice, molten American cheese blanket, topped with a hearty handful of crispy smoked bacon, sprinkled with a handful of deep-fried onion rings, and doused, naturally, in a generous dollop of sweet-and-tangy BBQ sauce with a little bit of the proprietary Stacker Sauce smeared on the sesame seed buns for good measure. <\/p>\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\/2019\/12\/Burger-King-Rodeo-Stacker-King-Bacon-Closeup.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King Rodeo Stacker King Bacon Closeup\" title=\"Burger King Rodeo Stacker King Bacon Closeup.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, needless to say, this thing is INSANELY filling. I opted for the single-patty version, and about halfway through it, I was feeling the dreaded \u201citis\u201d taking effect. You are getting a <em>ton<\/em> of food with this thing even in its economy-class format, and if you have a fondness for beef and\/or bacon, you will probably adore this one. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, the big selling point of the burger is its smattering of BBQ sauce, and this stuff is undeniably excellent. Some may not like its sugariness, but I thought it complemented the rest of the sodium-encrusted contents rather well. And that admixture of the BBQ sauce and the Stacker Sauce takes this to another level. I can\u2019t describe the combination in one or two words, but it has a taste and texture you usually don\u2019t experience in big chain fast food places. <\/p>\n<p>And perhaps best of all? As sloppy as the product looks, it\u2019s nowhere near as messy as you might think. I don\u2019t think I got spatter anywhere on my khakis, which might be a first for any visit I\u2019ve had at the King over the last three or four years.<\/p>\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\/2019\/12\/Burger-King-Rodeo-Stacker-King-Onion-Rings-Closeup.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King Rodeo Stacker King Onion Rings Closeup\" title=\"Burger King Rodeo Stacker King Onion Rings Closeup.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The burger does have its drawbacks, however. For one thing, I thought the volume of crispy onion rings was a little low, and they do tend to get a tad too soggy underneath that deluge of sauces. Furthermore, for north of $6, I don\u2019t feel like I got something <em>all that revolutionary<\/em> when it comes to western-themed burgers. Yes, it\u2019s quite tasty and satisfying, but at the end of the day, it doesn\u2019t necessarily provide you with a gustatory experience you\u2019ve never had before. <\/p>\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\/2019\/12\/Burger-King-Rodeo-Stacker-King-Bites.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King Rodeo Stacker King Bites\" title=\"Burger King Rodeo Stacker King Bites.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Overall, I\u2019d say it\u2019s probably on par with Hardee\u2019s Six Dollar Western X-Tra Bacon Thickburger.
