"There is no cuisine quite as stereotypically American as the bacon cheeseburger it may even be more American than apple pie or Southern-style fried chicken. It has everything we tend to eat here in the States. Not just one but two different kinds of meat. Check. Gooey cheese (obviously of the American variety). Check. Versatility and a broad range of toppings. Check. And best of all, it's served up in a convenient handheld format that can be scooped up from a drive-thru in mere minutes."
"Bacon cheeseburgers have been around since at least 1963 the greasy invention is often credited to A&W franchisee Dale Mulder. Regardless of who invented it, since the '60s, plenty of other restaurants and fast-food giants have sunk their teeth into the idea. To be fair, for any spot that was already slinging fan-favorite cheeseburgers, it was easy enough to source some bacon and hop on the trend."
The bacon cheeseburger combines beef, bacon, American cheese, and a bun and stands as a stereotypically American dish. The build commonly includes two different meats, gooey American cheese, versatile toppings, and a handheld format convenient for drive-thru service. The item dates to at least 1963 and is often credited to A&W franchisee Dale Mulder. Since the 1960s, numerous restaurants and fast-food chains adopted the concept, easily adding bacon to existing cheeseburgers. Eight fast-food bacon cheeseburgers from chains such as Five Guys, McDonald's, Wendy's, and Shake Shack were sampled and ranked based on core components: quality beef, melted cheese, crispy bacon, and a supportive bun. Garnishes and condiments were treated as secondary.
