As written by Thrillist, the ‘Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger’ is made with a “quarter pound of fresh beef, Muenster cheese, three strips of Applewood smoked bacon, smokey honey mustard, warm beer cheese sauce, crispy fried onions, and pickles.” All of these ingredients are then piled into a soft pretzel bun, which “Wendy’s touts as the only one in the fast food arena.”
