Gouda Bacon Cheeseburger

What is it?

Quarter-pound fresh beef patty anchored under smoked gouda, warm Swiss-Gruyere fondue, Applewood smoked bacon, red onions, vine-ripened tomatoes, spring mix, and garlic herb aioli on a toasted brioche bun. The smoked cheese brings a firmer slice, while the fondue adds a looser layer that runs through the meat and bun. Compared with Wendy's standard cheeseburgers, it leaned richer and more layered, with more toppings and a sweeter, eggy bun. It appeared in 2015 and later came back briefly, often alongside Bacon Fondue Fries.
