Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Didn’t get out this week to sample any fast food bacon, but there has been some news surrounding our favorite meat within the world of QSR’s…

Wendy’s has expanded its line of premium burgers with the introduction of the Bacon & Blue burger.
Earlier in the week Burger King introduced their new premium Steakhouse XT burger line which for a limited time features a smoky cheddar (w/ bacon) burger version.
Jack in the Box launched their new grilled sandwiches buy holding a FREE sandwich day (one is a turkey bacon) and started showing a new commercial for their bacon burger (which is pretty funny yet I can’t find video of it anywhere).
Carl’s Jr. has had so much success with their Grilled Cheese Bacon Burgerthat they expanded the sandwich into Hardee’s stores, officially launching the Grilled Cheese Bacon Thickburger(R). The supported the new launch through a Facebook promotion called “The Comfort Place“. I’ll let you go and experience it yourself.
And finally – there was some big to do’s over in France where the Quick chain removed bacon burgers from their menu and replaced the with a Halal beef and smoked turkey burger. Politicians are claiming discrimination against non-Muslim customers. And the Islam / French tensions continue to mount. Read the whole story here.

So there you go! Maybe next week I’ll get in the car and go have a bacon burger.
