                                According to Wendy's, the Baconator contains two different types of real meat: fresh, never-frozen beef patties and six strips of Applewood smoked bacon. This iconic fast-food offering has built its reputation on a straightforward, meaty premise, promising a high-quality, "carnivore-forward" experience.
