Baconator

Etymology

The name "Baconator" is a portmanteau of "bacon" and "terminator". The term "bacon" is derived from the Old High German bacho, meaning "back", and the Middle English bacoun, which referred to all pork in general. The term "terminator" is derived from the Latin terminare, meaning "to limit or end", and was popularized by the Terminator film series.

Ingredients

The Baconator consists of two 1/4 lb. patties of fresh, never frozen, North American beef, topped with six pieces of crispy Applewood smoked bacon. It also includes three slices of cheese, ketchup, and mayonnaise, all served on a premium toasted bun.

Variations

There are several variations of the Baconator, including the Son of Baconator, which has smaller patties and fewer bacon strips, and the Breakfast Baconator, which includes an egg and breakfast sausage in addition to the standard bacon.
