Wendy’s hamburger featuring two beef patties, six strips of bacon, and cheese is the Baconator.
Wendy’s introduced the Baconator in 2007 as a substantial bacon-focused hamburger. Its standard construction combines two square beef patties with American cheese, bacon, ketchup, and mayonnaise on a bun.
The sandwich is often confused with Wendy’s Big Bacon Classic, which has a different patty arrangement and topping profile. The Baconator’s defining feature is its prominent bacon quantity, rather than merely having bacon as one optional topping.
Wendy’s later introduced variations such as the Son of Baconator, which is smaller, and the Pretzel Baconator, which uses a pretzel bun. Exact ingredients and portion sizes can vary by country and menu period, but the Baconator name consistently refers to Wendy’s signature bacon-heavy burger.
