While the Breakfast Baconator might not look as jam-packed as, say, some monstrosity from Carl&#8217;s Jr., Wendy&#8217;s has somehow managed to pack quite a bit of grotesquely gorgeous morningside taste in its bid for total breakfast domination.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the requisite slab of fried egg and cut of grilled sausage \u2014 nicely done, by the way \u2014 the two distinctly separate layers of Applewood smoked bacon, while definitely the definition of &#8220;too much,&#8221; work perfectly for the breakfast sandwich. It might be even better than the lunchtime variety. And while the Swiss cheese sauce was somewhat lighter than expected, the two slices of American cheese make up for it, giving this pile of meat a surprising bite from the dairy. <\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/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\/2020\/03\/Wendys-Breakfast-Baconator-2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wendy s Breakfast Baconator 2\" title=\"Wendy's Breakfast Baconator 2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With so much bacon \u2014 I counted eight strips on mine \u2014 the salt in this sandwich is mouth-puckeringly strong.
