Last time I was in Miami with my friends, we wanted to check out a burger joint that we don’t have in Canada. We stopped by Checkers. I got chicken strips which were quite good. My friends ended up getting the Baconzilla, a double burger with generous helpings of cheese and bacon. They loved it, but they were knocked out for the rest of the day.
Now I was finally back in Miami years later and the same Checkers was open. My friends didn’t accompany me this time, but I decided this time, I would try a Baconzilla. No ketchup or mayo, because that’s my style.
That cheese was just oozing off that burger. The fries were delicious. A bit dry, but great flavour to them. I was glad I got the combo this time.
Once my fries were done, I bit into the burger. The beef was amazing and the bacon was nice and thick. But there was just too much cheese for me. It wasn’t bad cheese. But as someone who doesn’t eat a lot of cheese, I couldn’t handle it. I could understand why my friends thought it was amazing, but this burger was not for me. I could also see why they passed out last time, because this thing is dense.
My recommendation is that if you love cheese and bacon, give the Baconzilla a shot. For me, the cheese flavour just dominated everything else, which is a shame because the meat was really good. If I’m ever at a Checkers again, I’ll probably order a standard burger. Or maybe chicken. They’ve convinced me they’re at least worth another look.
